About Kris Hadlock of Hadlock

When Kris is not rocking out as the lead vocalist for Hadlock, he is mentoring and inspiring teen rockers from all over the Rochester area. He literally runs his own "School Of Rock". His many musical talents from drums to guitar to keyboards to vocals and his driven personality have led him to much success in the music performing and teaching businesses. "I tend to jump and then look for a parachute on the way down", says he. It is that vision and drive that has been key to the band's success.

Growing up just outside of Rochester, New York, Kris started playing the drums at age 4. Growing up and influenced by Elvis Presley, Bon Jovi, Kiss, and David Lee Roth, Kris's first song on the drums was C'mon Everybody by the King. His amazing talent with the drums landed him in the band The Chesterfield Kings in 1993, with whom he played for 3 years in the mid-nineties. (They performed on USA channel's show Up All Night episode 89.) He left the The Chesterfield Kings in 1997 to pursue a solo career, where he was signed in Los Angeles to a record contract.

Kris formed the band Hadlock with Richie Roccisano in 2002. Kris is the lead vocalist and songwriter of Hadlock. Since 2002, Richie Roccisano plays lead guitar, Robert Maslin plays drums and Ron Lee Brock plays bass guitar. Kris's mission is to play music in the style he loved all his life and write lyrics that tell his life story. Music is his passion.
