Livestream | Kris Allen plays Letting You In and a new song for fans, March 18, 2020

Hope all of you are healthy, washing your hands and staying safe! Kris Allen is self-isolating just like the rest of us in these times of COVID-19. Of course, on March 18, 2016, one of his best albums, Letting You In, was released. And to celebrate, and raise money for his team who is not working at the moment, Kris threw a livestream show on Instagram on March 18, 2020.

If you missed it, you missed a fun party! A highlight for me was seeing Kris' bandmates and former bandmates in the chat, including Torres, Cale (who was hilarious), Devon, and Brad.

Also awesome: Kris sang his new song called Mr. Right Next Door, about an older neighbor who passed away. For those who enjoyed it, and those who missed it, @Shazamy had your back and grabbed the audio of the new song! You can download it here.

Summer Plans for KAL!

Hoping Kris is enjoying his "paternity leave" and family time! While he's doing that, I thought I'd post a short update on my summertime-and-beyond plans for this blog and its related social media accounts.

For Twitter and Instagram, while I'm not going to be spamming your timelines quite like I do during tour times, I do intend to do so on #ThrowbackThursday and #FlashbackFriday, using retweets and reposts of things I spot on there. (Links to my Twitter and Instagram accounts, and Kris' accounts too, are on the right hand side of the blog.)

My YouTube account has been the neglected stepchild and needs some real organization. So I'll be working on that when time permits. I also want to get videos linked on to the master song list.

As for the blog itself, summertime is always a great time to catch up on media you may have missed. To help Kris fans do just that, I'm planning to write some occasional posts to highlight different shows from the Letting You In Tour, with a focus on some performances or videos that are great and might have been overlooked.

So those are my plans for the site this summer! Let me know via Twitter or in the comments if you have any post or video suggestions, or any other thoughts or ideas! I hope you all have a great summer and stay tuned!
