Kris Allen and Marie Miller sing Wasting Away.

Kris Allen has announced a Christmas tour that kicks off Nov. 29 in Annapolis.

The Somethin’ About Christmas tour runs through Dec. 22 and also includes stops in Washington, D.C., and Pittsburgh.

The tour will also feature Marie Miller, and the two recently posted a duet of Marie’s song, “Wasting Away” that you can check out below.

Kris last released a major project this summer in the form of a five-track EP that featured acoustic versions of four songs from his “Letting You In” album plus a new original called “Venice.” He’s since released acoustic versions of “Lost” and “In Time” as well.

And, if you hadn’t heard, he launched a side project this year called The Dames with band mates Cale Mills, Chris Torres and friend Jordan Wright. They’ve since release four singles. Be sure to check out “The Death of Mr. Jones” is you haven’t heard it.

The Christmas tour kicks off at Ram’s Head on Stage. Tickets are $27.50 and a VIP meet and greet is available.

Other shows in the area are Thursday, Dec. 7 at the Miracle Theatre in Washington, D.C., and Friday, Dec. 8 at Club Cafe in Pittsburgh.
