Back in 2010, a group of fans put together a tour book for Kris and the guys for the fall tour with Lifehouse. The book was a collection of places to go and food to eat in each of the tour cities.

As we all get ready for the 2013 tour, member Tracey asked if Little Pawns would be doing something…

We're ramping up plans to support the promotion of Kris's fall tour, but we want to reward all your hard work in putting the plan into action!

One tool that may help us target a social media campaign, track participation, and offer incentives is called Fanzy. It's a Facebook app that we've installed on our page, and it's used to track the tweeting and FB posting of key words, hashtags, and URLs. Members who join Fanzy can earn points which can lead to prizes.

Gray Pawns leader and Little Pawn extraordinaire Amanda suggested that we explore Pinterest as a tool for promoting Kris. We think she's on to something, but we need your help to make it happen!

What is Pinterest?…

Between Live In the Vineyard, Pet-a-Palooza, Spring Fling, and more, Kris has been and will be keeping busy with fun radio shows that involve other artists.

Live In the Vineyard featured artists such as Jason Mraz and Mat Kearney along with Kris. For Pet-a-Palooza, Haley Reinhart, Matt Nathanson and more shared the bill. Next month…

On Thursday, we learned that Kris's album, Thank You Camellia will be released on May 22! As soon as the initial excitement of that announcement wore off, the common reaction was "So, who's Camellia?"

Well, for this…

Now that you've had a week to listen to the studio version of The Vision of Love once or twice (or maybe a couple more times), we want you to play director and share your concept for The Vision of Love music video.

What do you see? A performance video? a narrative video? Share your thoughts below! Need a little inspiration?

What non-Kris music are you loving on the radio right now? What songs could we be requesting while we wait for Kris's single to be released? How else have you been reconnecting with your local radio stations?

It's never too…

There was so much musical goodness to be had last Thursday as Kris debuted some of his new music at The Mint.

We want to hear your thoughts! What was your instant favorite song? Which song has snuck up on you the more you listen/watch? What song has you the most excited? What do you think about the changes to some of the songs we've already heard? Should a 'girl pop medley' become a regular addition to Kris's set list?

Need a little…

There's no doubt that Kris puts on a great show every time he goes out. Whether it's just him and Cale in a small acoustic radio show, the full band rocking out on stage, or something in between, we usually walk away with smiles on our faces. Sometimes, the most memorable parts of the show are the unexpected (and usually hilarious) bits of banter that occur.

In honor of those moments, this week's question of the week is all about show banter. Link us to your favorite videos…

So, who's ready to promote new music??? We are, and we're going to need your help! As part of our preparations, we're looking for help from our members with some of the day-to-day tasks of Little Pawns. Take a look at the 'job descriptions' below:

The Jobs

TWITTER SUPPORT

We're looking for some help manning the @LittlePawns twitter account. Twitter will be a great tool for us to promote Kris and new music. We want to create a schedule so we'll know we've got things…

You use it as your Twitter name, or Facebook status post, or maybe just as your own personal quote of the day.... your favorite lyric from one of Kris's songs.

For this week's question of the week, we want to know what those favorite lyrics are and why. Share your thoughts below!

And don't forget to join us at our regular Thursday night chat (10 PM EST) to discuss this and anything else!

As we come upon the US holiday of Thanksgiving this week, we wanted to take a moment and celebrate it Little Pawns style. So this week's question of the week is a simple one: Why are you thankful for Kris and the Kris Allen Band?

Share your thoughts (and links) below! We hope that maybe Kris will swing by this page at some point and see what we all have to say.

This QotW post gives you a way to express your appreciation for the guys without space limitations,…

We are all anxiously awaiting new music from Kris - and when it comes, we're going to be ready to promote it like crazy with our local radio stations, right? Well, in an effort to get ready for that, your regional team leaders have been helping us compile information about stations around the US.

Check out what we've come up with so far!

Now -…
