Preview:
Cleveland tends to get scorned by Kris more often than not, but not tonight as the Comfort and Joy tour rolls in!

Updated 12/22/2016: Our friend @kt_cle reports that Kris really slayed Blue Christmas and I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas. She shared a picture and I found an IG video so those are linked!

Show and List Preview:
Kris performs a lunchtime show for Cleveland State University students (free food with student ID!). Several students will open for him. My guess is that this will be pretty informal so if you're in Cleveland and you just happen to stroll onto that campus plaza.... As far as the list goes, Cleveland State kids seem to tweet a little more than Rockhurst University ones.

Unfortunately, this is during a workday and I may be very busy at the time of the show, so I may not be able to add any last minute flaily tweets to the list. Sorry.


Pre-Show/Event Press and Publicity:
Various campus twitters and the opening acts have tweeted a lot about the event.

Show and List Preview:
Kris finally plays a show in a major city in the state of Ohio! This venue is in the city of Cleveland. Hopefully, we will get some live tweets and videos befitting the city that is home to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! I will be on a business trip and likely out to dinner with colleagues when the show goes on, and unable to add last-minute folks, but fear not, just like the show, the list will go on as well!

Pre-Show Press and Publicity:

• Interview with Cleveland.com
• Kris performance and interview in the am with Fox 8 News that was livestreamed. (The always awesome birthday baby p_eleph has posted it here and the station has posted it here.)
