Happy Fall (Tour) Little Pawns!

It's been a fun and busy week in the world of Kris, so sit back, relax, and enjoy!

More Jose

Sharing the stage for the Miami Rocks Our Troops event seems to have made an impression on both Jose Feliciano and Kris!

Kris is a fantastic artist: great musician, singer and most of all, human being! We had a great time.
~ Jose Feliciano

Later, Jose and Kris continued their Twitter conversation:

Jose got the last word in with a mention of Kris on his website in a blog entry about the event. He had this to say:

A talented young man with an affable personality, Jose anticipates great things for Kris and his future. “I enjoy his energy and passion; he’s got what it takes to turn heads and I’m really, really happy for him.”

Fall Tour Launch

Kris's fall club tour was officially launched last week with stops in St. Louis and Evanston (Chicago area)! Fans in both cities were treated to amazing performances from Kris, Cale, and Torres, including a beautiful opening to Out Alive, a great new take on Alright With Me, the fantastic mashups we first saw on Yahoo!Music, and, oh yeah, a BRAND NEW SONG! (title to be determined :D ) Also, fans lucky enough to attend the pre-show meet & greet were treated to an intimate performance of Should I.

For more from St. Louis and Evanston, the good folks at Kris Allen Media have you covered!

Playin' Shows and Savin' Lives
Kris and the guys had a pretty interesting night after the show in Evanston, best told in their own words.

We're glad everyone is safe! Be careful out there!
