Kris Allen sang these songs for the first time in 2018

Happy new year Kris fans! I thought for a little recap for 2018, I'd make a YouTube playlist of songs that were first sung by Kris in 2018. Since he mainly just did one-offs, the Idol tour and the holiday show, but didn't put out a full album, the playlist doesn't have too much on it. The two originals that haven't been released yet - hopefully we'll get official versions in 2019. (Kris said during meet and greets this year that he hopes to have new music out by the end of March.)



On this 2018 playlist, you'll find these songs (and I'll put in some mp3 links too for my favorites):

• When All the Stars Have Died [Apple Music | Spotify | Google Play | Amazon]
• Waiting on You (original - not released yet so no mp3)
• Safe Harbor (original - not released yet so no mp3)
• Freedom '90 (amazing cover with Delta Rae, Sean McConnell and Josh Jenkins) [mp3]
• Rainbow Connection (backing Maddie Poppe in the Idol tour)
• Folsom Prison Blues (backing Caleb Lee Hutchison in the Idol tour)
• There's Nothing Holding Me Back (Idol tour finale) [mp3]
• Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) (great cover from the Christmas tour) [mp3]

Be safe and Happy New Year. Here's to new music in 2019!

November 29, 2018

VIP: 4:45 PM Doors 6 PM Show 8 PM

Opener: Sawyer

Tickets and information

Kris and band head next to Washington, DC. They may not realize that this particular City Winery is in a dodgy neighborhood (it's next to the dodgy neighborhood my real-life office is in). If you go, don't go alone and definitely plan out your transportation, as you aren't going to be walking to the Metro. Driving/valet parking or Uber is the best bet. I'm sad that they didn't go back to the adorable place they had the show in last year. But I'll be there! I won the VIP Facebook contest. Going with one of the Dirty Minds, so you know this show will be fun!

Updated November 30: What a fun show! And a great VIP meet and greet. Lots of scoop. We met Kris' mom Kimberly too - she's in DC for a business trip and happily got to see her son's show. We do have a lot of videos and photos. I'm swamped and may not get them all up until later this weekend. But I'm on it!

Not to mention getting TWO set lists! Looks like Kris is taking requests for his solo spotlight so choose wisely people. Heartless is not the move for Christmas, y'know? All of the videos, set lists and big apple holiday fun is after the break!

Appearance: November 10, 2018: Kris Allen performs Live Like We're Dying at the Women That Soar Awards; Mentions New Music Coming Soon

I kind of slept on this one. I thought we wouldn't get anything out of it. Shows what I know!

Kris joined fellow idol Fantasia to perform at a Dallas-based awards show: The Women That Soar awards,  The event was taped for later airing on TV (in March 2019). We know he sang Live Like We're Dying:

When you’re front row and @kris_allen performs one of his top hits that happens to be one of your favorite songs. You are amazing Kris, and thank you for coming to Dallas to celebrate and honor Women That Soar! @womenthatsoar @scottkehn @americanidol #KrisAllen #Dallas #charity #womenthatsoar #music #livelikeyouredying #AmericanIdol #music

A post shared by Chuck Steelman (@chucksteelman) on Nov 10, 2018 at 10:02pm PST\

(Here's another video from IG of it.)

After the event, Kris was in his feels! And decided to do his first ever live Instagram. I happened to stumble on it and it was fun. He answered questions, gave some props to the fandom and performed his new song Safe Harbor. (Which he officially performed live for the first time the other night in Nashville but we have no video. Lucky Idol Tour VIP attendees actually heard it a few times this summer as he worked it out.) Most important, he announced he's got new music coming soon!

Thank you @SnapCracklyPop for capturing it!

Writer's Round: November 7, 2018: The Bluebird Cafe, Nashville, TN

In the Round for Musician's Corner

November 7, 2018

The Bluebird Cafe

Nashville, TN

9:00 PM CST

Kris will join some of his past collaborators for a songwriter's round at the famous Bluebird Cafe in Nashville. KS Rhoads has played and co-wrote with Kris on the albums Horizons (Lost) and Letting You In (If We Keep Doing Nothing). Marie Miller from Virginia was the opener for the Somethin' About Christmas 2017 tour and the two dueted (beautifully) on Wasting Away. Wish one of them would release it! They have already written one song for Kris' next album (scoop some of you got us from the last tour) and last week, Marie shared in an IG story that they were working on another one. I confess I had to google Emily Kopp; she's described as an indie-soul artist from Orlando.

It is sold out, but late-released tickets may be available at the door. Any good stuff from it (Kris has been known to debut songs at these rounds) will be in this post.

Updated November 9: Marie Miller and Kris' duet on Wasting Away is always the good stuff. Marie was kind enough to share it on IG.

View this post on Instagram

Man oh man! Always a gift to play at the @bluebirdcafetn thanks @kris_allen for singing this one with me and being such a good friend! #bluebirdcafe #krisallen and special thanks to @muscornernash for hosting!

A post shared by Marie Miller (@mariemillersing) on Nov 8, 2018 at 6:51am PST

Updated 11/11/18: Turns out Kris also live premiered a new song he sang during Idol tour VIPs, Safe Harbor. While we don't have video from this event, Kris did a live IG last night and sung it for us. I'll put the video in that post.

Kris Allen bringing the Somethin' About Christmas Tour back for 2018!

The Somethin' About Christmas tour is coming back in 2018 to an east coast, midwest or southern town near you! (Sorry west coast. Let's all hope Kris comes back in 2019 with new non-holiday music and a full USA tour!) 

This was a holiday highlight for me last year! Just seeing him perform Just Like Snow live was amazing and I am a summer girl who normally disdains winter weather.

Go to Kris' official website to view the tour dates, locations and grab your show and VIP tickets! And come back after Thanksgiving for show coverage!

Festival: September 29, 2018: Good Vibrations Music Festival, San Antonio, TX

Kris joins his friends in Parachute and Penny and Sparrow to headline Good Vibrations music festival in San Antonio for the benefit of hearing-impaired charitable organizations. The festival is advertised as Deaf accessible.

The full line up is here; Kris will be on from 8 to 9 pm Central Time.

Here's the festival's Instagram (Very active!) and Facebook pages.

Updated 10/3/2018: I'm so sorry for not updating this sooner! Many thanks to the amazing @krisjonin who is so good at collecting and saving all the IG stories! And to Linda (@krismicklin) for the set list and lots of videos too! All of it after the break.

Idol Tour 2018: September 16: The Finale! Kris Allen brings DC another hurricane and the 2.1 Idols

The tour finale is this Sunday in Washington, DC.

Not the first time Kris has brought a hurricane to DC (definitely click that link, the video is funny), just saying. I remember driving home from this show as Hurricane Sandy hit. We did get lucky this time with Hurricane Florence; however, the remnants are scheduled to hit DC on Monday. My best thoughts to anyone in the Carolinas reading this.

September 16: Warner Theatre, Washington, DC  - I did make the show! It was fast-paced and a lot of fun. We had a Periscope and another Kris fan took some videos. I'll keep adding them to the post as he uploads them (Thanks Eric!) You know DC always #givesgoodlist!

The set list is here.

Updated September 17 with my thoughts and the videos (after the break)! Hope Kris and the Idols don't have travel issues today. Florence is in SW VA and the outer bands are going to give DC a lot of rain. My thoughts are with all of you in the Carolinas.

Idol Tour 2018: September 14 and 15: the Idols play the suburbs of New York and Boston

If you missed the first time the Idol tour played the Boston or New York City areas, you're in luck, because the tour is coming back around!

September 14: Count Basie Center for the Arts, Red Bank NJ (Monmouth County) - Kris did not appear. See below.

September 15: Zeiterion Performing Arts Center, New Bedford, MA (south of Boston; east of Providence, RI) - Kris did not appear. Nick Fradiani subbed for him. See below.

The set list is here.

Updated September 13 with some sad news. Kris announced on his Facebook that a close lifelong friend had passed away unexpectedly. He will be returning to Arkansas for the funeral and will miss the show in New Jersey and per an email going out to ticket purchasers, the VIP in MA. My thoughts, prayers and condolences goes out to Kris, his family and friends.

Idol Tour 2018: September 12 and 13: Kris Allen and the Idols return to Pennsylvania!

Kris and the Idols return to Pennsylvania. They had a Philadelphia-area stop earlier, but now they'll play York (near Amish country in southern central Pennsylvania), and also the Pittsburgh area.

Updated September 14 with some Pittsburgh videos

Idol Tour 2018: September 9 and 10: Kris comes home to Nashville and then back out to Dayton

We are in the final ten days of the tour now! I'm so excited for Kris to play the historic Ryman, even if it is as host of the Idol tour 2018. After a stop in his adopted hometown of Nashville, the tour heads back out to Dayton, Ohio.

September 9: Ryman Auditorium, Nashville, TN - Nashville is just always a city that never shares video. 

September 10: The Rose Music Center at the Heights, Huber Heights, OH (Dayton area) - some video; not much

 The set list for the Idol tour concerts is here. 

Updated September 13 with a little from Nashville. Not much.  But some good stuff, especially for Idol 2.1 fans.

Idol Tour 2018: September 7: Kris Allen and the Idols play the Chicago Area

It's back to the Chicago area for Kris Allen on the Idol tour. The Idol Tour in 2009 played Rosemont, a western suburb. Back in those days, the tour played the Allstate Arena there and the crowd was allowed to be enthusiastic:



Let's hope this smaller theatre lets the 2018 Idols and their fans have some fun. Ticket link below; come back after the show for coverage. Set list is here.

September 7, 2018: Rosemont Theatre, Rosemont, IL

Idol Tour 2018: September 5 and 6: Up to Minnesota and Wisconsin for Kris Allen and the Idols

Kris and the Idols get a little break before heading north. (I'm guessing for Maddie to go home to Iowa since they play South Dakota on Sunday and Minneapolis on Wednesday.)  They play some shows in the midwest this week.

Idol Tour 2018: August 30 and 31 and September 2: Kris Allen Plays Montana for the First Time (?) (and Utah and South Dakota too) with the American Idols

The tour heads back across the country again! What's cool is that Kris is going to play for the first time ever (as far as I've been keeping track anyway) in Montana! It's your chance! They're also playing Utah, where Kris has done a few shows over the years.

(Update: Unfortunately, can't find any Kris media from the Montana show! I've added the 9/2 South Dakota show to this post in an attempt for South Dakota to pick up Montana's slack.)

August 30: Alberta Bair Theater, Billings, MT - Nothing. Crickets. If you were there and took a photo or video of Kris, please share with the world.

August 31: Dejoria Center, Salt Lake City, UT - A few videos.

August 27, 2018: Oregon State Fair - A few videos coming in. Thank you to Aunty CJ for giving us some set list notes. Maddie made another change. Most important, Kris soundchecked the Death of Mr. Jones! #gavegoodlist awarded for that tidbit. Here's a link if you are not familiar with Kris' side project, the Dames.

August 28, 2018: Evergreen State Fair (Washington) - Gorgeous videos have turned up! AND a new Kris song he has never sung before with video! #gave goodlist to you Evergreen!
