Christmas Tour 2018: Kris and the band return to DC on November 29 for Christmas


City Winery DC
November 29, 2018
VIP: 4:45 PM Doors 6 PM Show 8 PM
Opener: Sawyer

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!



PR:
Kris took over the City Winery DC's Instagram on Wednesday, November 28.

Meet and Greet:
This was the best one I ever went to - informal and Kris was open and maybe a little more revealing than usual. We learned the last show he went to was Paul Simon and that Safe Harbor is about Rosie and Oliver (puts a whole new spin on the song, although he liked my suggestion to sell it to Kenny Chesney, lol). His favorite songs from each post-Idol album are Alright With Me, Teach Me How Love Goes, Prove it to You (because of the production) and Faster Shoes. Monster is inspired by his inner dark thoughts (the kind that everyone has at times). And best scoop of all ... new music probably by end of March!

Here's Kris singing Safe Harbor for the VIP meet and greet:
