Night at the Ritz: American Idol Winner Kris Allen

American Idol Season 8 Winner Kris Allen will make a stop on his North American tour at the Historic Ritz Theatre on Friday, September 27 at 7pm.

In 2019, Kris celebrated the 10th anniversary of his American Idol win by releasing “10,” an album of reimagined acoustic versions of some of his most beloved songs of the previous decade, including fan- favorite “Waves” and his platinum-selling single “Live Like We’re Dying.” In 2021, Kris followed this up with the release of “Don’t Stop Dancing” and 4 other singles that launched a new era of music for the Arkansas-born musician. Songs like “Hallelujah! For Now” and “Different Bridges” feature the imaginative songwriting and stunning vocals that put Kris on the map and pave the way for his upcoming album “Pole Vaulter.” When not making music and playing it live across the world, Kris lives in Nashville with his wife Katy and three kids. Kris just released his 5 th studio album.

Joining Kris on tour is Walker Burroughs who is best known for his achievement as a top 8 finalist on American Idol 2019. Originally from Birmingham, AL, he is a graduate of Belmont University with a degree in voice and an emphasis in songwriting.
