Throwback Thursday and a March Show Preview!

When we don't have a show to track, on Thursdays, we like to take a look back at Kris' career via video.

This month of course, we have shows, just none until Saturday! The big ones of course are three upcoming showcases he has at the famous annual SXSW Festival in Austin, TX. So I thought for throwback Thursday, we'd take a look back at his showcase during the 2013 SXSW Festival with this great video of Better With You from headonfire1105:



Fun! If you want to see more of this show, here's a YouTube playlist.

But looking at the blog posts from last March, not much was going on. Different story this year! Here's the concerts and events you can look forward to being covered this month by KAL (click the links to find out how to attend in person):

March 8 - Private charity performance for fans who purchased an "intimate experience" at Rancho Las Palmas, Palm Springs. (Tickets available for $600 here.)

March 12 - Fleming Artists Showcase - Official SXSW event, Austin, TX (SXSW Badge needed)

March 13 - Heart of Austin, TX - SXSW showcase being sponsored by Sony, various radio stations and other media firms. (RSVP required to attend.)

March 14 - Quantum Collective - an "unofficial SXSW" outdoor concert atop a roof with a fantastic lineup. All ages event! Free RSVP is all that's needed to go. Contest to win VIP passes - Enter here!

March 20 - Kris judges "Darton Star" (a college version of American Idol) at Darton State University in SW Georgia (Need university ID to get in.)

March 29 - Kris plays "Major Event" - the annual spring festival for Juniata College in central Pennsylvania. This is open to the public, with reduced prices for students. Buy tickets here.

After that, he returns to a regular touring schedule in April with a slate of shows the first week of that month.

List: SXSW Festival, Austin, TX, March 2013











South by Southwest Festival: March 12-17 (Music)

Kris' Official Gig:
Antones
Austin, TX
March 16, 2013
8 pm CDT


Kris is playing SXSW! This is huge news, as he is one of the first Idols to play this well-known music festival, which showcases indie and up and coming artists, but is also known for surprise shows featuring well-known superstars.

To get into the official SXSW shows, it's not easy. It requires buying a badge or a wristband, or lucking out if a venue does not fill up with industry insiders with badges and wristbands. Luckily, many are able to attend the many unofficial shows that spring up during the festival. At this writing, it is unknown if Kris will play any surprise or unofficial shows. We do know he will participate in the Fleming Artists showcase at the historic Antone's venue, on Saturday, March 16.
