10 Years, 1 Night Tour | Kris Allen's 10th anniversary acoustic tour concludes with Michigan stops, November 21-23, 2019

Kris Allen finishes up the 10 Years One Night tour with a swing through Michigan. He plays Ann Arbor on November 21, Orion Charter Township on November 22, and ends the tour with a show in Grand Rapids on November 23. Hoping his old Idol friend Matt Giraud is there for that one!

The basic 22 song set list for the tour is in this post. Kris has added Written All Over My Face to that set, and has dropped in a few surprises occasionally (Parachute and Paul Simon). He's also getting brave with doing songs he NEVER does in VIP, like Turn the Pages! Even more awesome, he's occasionally performed a few new songs (More Machine, We Will Change and Whenever You Are Here).

Come back after the shows as I'll put the highlights from these final stops in this post!

Updated November 23 with whatever I found from Grand Rapids plus a few more videos from Lake Orion. Lake Orion earns #gavegoodlist.

Flashback Friday: Hit Me Baby One More Time Edition!

On Fridays during non-tour periods, we try to catch up on tour media around here! We'll check out a video to catch up on the Out Alive Tour. Plus I'll try to give you a bonus video - maybe one that got overlooked or one that is just worth watching again.


Of course, our big news this week was the arrival of Oliver Neil Allen on July 30. Congratulations to Kris and Katy, and welcome to the world Oliver! So I thought for this week's Out Alive Tour video, we'd check out a baby banter video! And it includes a nice clear audio/video of Unique too! Here's kmt8871's video of Unique from the April 22, 2013 Ann Arbor, MI show.






For our bonus video, continuing with the baby theme, I thought it would be fun to go way back to when we saw the birth of the Kris Allen Band! Here they are in Yendiders' awesome video at the Miami Dolphins Tailgate in October 2009, performing Britney Spears' Hit Me Baby One More Time!



Enjoy! We'll keep having these catch-up posts on Thursdays and Fridays to tide us over until Kris' next show on August 18 in Hershey, PA!

List: April 22, 2013: The Ark, Ann Arbor, MI

Jillette Johnson opening

The Out Alive Tour moves to Michigan tonight for a show in Ann Arbor. The main thing Kris fans would know about Ann Arbor is that it is the headquarters of Kris' booking agents at Fleming Artists (although Kris' agent at Fleming, Jordan Burger, is in New York according to his Twitter bio). Also, I always have a hard time remembering this, but Michigan is in the eastern time zone, so the show is 8 pm EDT (7 pm CDT, 5 pm PDT).

List Preview:
Although it's not quite as epic a list as Chicago was (one of the best ever), Ann Arbor listees are flailing and excited to be going. And we have a bunch of people from David Cook fandom coming, which is great! I also see that we have at least three and probably more folks coming who are quite handy with the video camera. So no worries on that front.

Update: This turned out to be quite an epic show and featured the debut of an "Idol songs medley" including Falling Slowly, Ain't No Sunshine and Heartless. Check out the videos and set list here!
