Show and List Preview:

This is it ... the last No Limits Tour show. Some of you may recall that Kris played this particular venue back in 2009 for a radio station's Christmas show. So let's hope he plays his Christmas song! Also will be interesting to see if there are any on-stage collaborations or tour pranks.

After this show, Kris will have a break for Thanksgiving, then play a college gig (Fontbonne State in St. Louis) in early December. Then a Florida tour in January follows, capped off with the Rock Boat cruise.

Updated: Set list and media (including an awesome prank by Curtis Peoples and bandmate played on Kris) after the break...

Show and List Preview:
Kris returns with the No Limits Tour to play the House of Blues in Dallas. You may recall that he had a pretty epic show at this venue in Fall 2012, which included the first time he played a cover of Garth Brooks "The River." Also, this will be his first show since his new Christmas single, Baby It Ain't Christmas Without You, came out. Hope he will expand the set list to include it!

Updated: Great instavideos posted made you feel like you were there! He did not do the Christmas single though. :( Crowd tweets seem very happy. :) Also, earlier today, he did a five-song acoustic set for KVIL-FM. Set lists and media for both events after the jump...

Solo show in Scottsdale, Arizona - an area that has long clamored for one, and this list should be enthusiastic! Unlike many lists, the tweeters are coming to me and asking to be added, which I greatly appreciate!

Updated: A small but enthusiastic crowd greeted an exhausted KAB, who had driven a long way from San Diego and hit bad traffic. KAB rose to the occasion though, and premiered Kris' new original indie Christmas song, Baby It Ain't Christmas Without You! (Buy it here.)

Show and List Preview:
The tour heads to Los Angeles, always a town that finds the Kris epic. Last time Kris played the Wiltern, he opened for Lady Antebellum (always wished they had done more shows together). We got this bit of epic, though, especially around the 3:50 mark. Hope we'll get something exciting tonight!

A word on the west coast lists - I'm east/best coast so I will most likely be asleep during most of these shows. Please help me out by letting me know to add you to the lists in advance! Otherwise, rather than add people to the list, I'll just RT the best stuff I find in search the day after the show. Also - for this particular list, I will be out of town all day but back in time for the show, so updates to the post or the list might not happen until just before showtime.

Updated: Very awesome crowd resulted in some fun videos! Set list and media after the jump...

Show and List Preview:
Friday night solo show!! I'm jealous of you Bay Area! See the Charlottesville and Burlington posts for the longer set list Kris has done for these. Not to mention Santa Cruz is on that lovely drive down Highway 1 along the west coast of California, south of San Jose and San Francisco and just north of Monterey, Carmel and Big Sur. Now I'm jealous of Kris for going there! It's lovely country.

A word on the west coast lists - I'm east/best coast so I will most likely be asleep during these shows. Please help me out by letting me know to add you to the lists in advance! Otherwise, rather than add people to the list, I'll just RT the best stuff I find in search the day after the show. FOR THIS PARTICULAR LIST: I will not be able to monitor or RT tweets-have a very early AM wakeup call and can't stay up that late. Sorry! Will catch it up on Saturday night.

As far as the list goes, since we're now on the west coast, most names will be added in advance and anything new of note will get RTed after the show (I can't stay up late for west coast shows most days.)

What: America's Veterans - A Musical Salute

Taped November 6, 2014 at Maryland Public Television studios in Owing Mills, MD

Airs November 11, 2014 on PBS (Veteran's Day)



How exciting - Kris took time out from the No Limits Tour today to tape this Maryland Public Television (MPT) special for Veteran's Day. He will appear with Season 6 Idol standout and good friend Melinda Doolittle on a special called America's Veterans - A Musical Salute! Kris and Melinda are joined by the US Airmen of Note and the U.S. Air Force Band and are slated to perform popular and patriotic favorites. From the pictures, it appears this includes a duet!

The special itself will air next Tuesday, Veterans Day, on PBS. Check local listings here. In DC where MPT and I are located, it will air at 8 PM EST. Or you can view a livestream on Maryland Public Television's website

Here are a few of the lovely pictures shared from the taping plus a video for which MPT tweeted a link to us (after the jump) and more:
