Kris Allen Strumming It Up Overseas for American Armed Forces

Kris Allen is a little difficult to reach right now as he has been overseas for almost a week.  He's playing with the Air Force Central Command Band, that is permanently assigned to help entertain, maintain morale, and promote outreach for the armed forces stationed in the "area of responsibility".  So Kris has been in the Middle East, specifically at Al Udeid Air Base, 379th Air Expeditionary Wing in Qatar.  That happened today.  Previously, Kris performed at the Thirsty Camel for the 380th Air Expeditionary Wing in Dubai and Etihad Towers in United Arab Emirates.  

This guy has been busy!!  Isn't it inspiring to see Kris taking his music and goodwill to entertain and help uplift the troops stationed so far from home.  There is something about the way he carries and plays his guitar that is a comforting throwback to bare roots music.  A voice and a guitar (and back up musicians of course, ha ha).  No doubt the men and women serving in the Middle East who were able to hear Kris sing, enjoyed a couple of hours of respite through his music.

Kris will be back on U.S. soil soon as it looks like he's going to be performing at the Suncoast Casino in Las Vegas this coming Saturday, January 14.   This is indeed one busy man.
