A celebrated singer, songwriter and actor, Kris Kristofferson emerged after a period of struggle as one of the major artists of the 1970s, eventually translating that acclaim into a fruitful career in Hollywood. His songs "Me and Bobby McGee," "Help Me Make It Through the Night," "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down," and "For the Good Times," all chart-topping hits, redefined the sound of country music, making it more personal and serious — hallmarks of the outlaw country movement he helped create.

Kris Bowers is scoring the upcoming drama Green Book. The film is directed by Peter Farrelly (There’s Something About Mary, Dumb and Dumber, Me, Myself & Irene) and stars Viggo Mortensen, Mahershala Ali and Linda Cardellini. The movie is set in 1962 and tells the true story of the growing friendship between Tony Lip, a nightclub bouncer who’s been hired to chauffeur the highly-educated African-American piano-playing prodigy Dr. Don Shirley through the Deep South on a concert tour. Farrelly also co-wrote the screenplay with Nick Vallelonga and Brian Currie. They are also producing the Participant Media production with Jim Burke (The Descendants, Walking Tall) and Charles Wessler (Shallow Hal). Green Book is currently in post-production and is expected to premiere later this year.
