Ukulele Kris is the solo acoustic project of Kris, a musician from Brownsville, United States, who is also associated with The Highwaymen and Kris Kristofferson and the Borderlords. His recordings and catalogue are linked with KK Records and Resaca Music, and his work sits across americana, country, country pop, folk, outlaw country and progressive country.

As Ukulele Kris, he performs punk and ska material on ukulele in an acoustic format. He has previously played in two ska bands, The Emotional Problems of Dirk Diggler and Peter Simple, which later becomes The Strikeouts after the group changes from an eight-piece to a trio.

The act is described as a punky ska songwriter project, with Kris continuing to write in that style while performing alone.
