Kris Allen

If you don't know this or can't tell, I have two men in music that I heart. Adam Levine, and Kris Allen! I always call Kris a cutie-pa-tootie on the air, and it's so true!

The Get Up & Go show welcomed American Idol season 8 champ Kris Allen to Central Minnesota this morning. Kris stopped by the Mix studio exclusively to chat about his tour stop at the Cedar Cultural Center tonight and play some new music.

American Idol season 8 champ Kris Allen will make a stop in Minneapolis tomorrow night at the beautiful Cedar Cultural Center. Look for Kris to play hits like "Live Like Were Dying" and "The Vision of Love" off his sophomore album "Thank You Camellia."

Tonight I will be playing Kris Allen's new album, "Thank You Camellia," from start to finish starting at 10pm! I hope you can join the party! Here is my review on his sophomore album.

While Adam Lambert prepares to release his second album, Trespassing out May 15) to great fanfare, Kris Allen (who won  Season 8 of ‘American Idol‘ and ALSO has a new album out, Thank You Camellia, out in stores May 22) continues to work hard to stay in the spotlight. Allen performed an awesome acoustic medley of songs by Rihanna, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga.

Each weeknight from 8-Midnight I feature up and coming artists or artists we know with new songs being released and I give them the “spotlight.” Tonight’s ClubMix Spotlight features an artist we know and love, Kris Allen.

We love new music here at Mix 94.9 and love when our listeners give us feedback on what THEY want to hear!  That said, Kris Allen fans have spoken loud and clear.  We added his new single "The Vision Of Love" last week and received numerous requests via our website, Twitter and Facebook pages.
