Everybody is ready to sing and entertain. That’s what we are in the business for and we’re looking forward to doing that.”

Allen, who is working on his first cd compilation now, said he is trying to figure out the right songs for it.

“I can’t wait. It’s been a lot of co-writing,” he said. “I‘m happy about that.”

A gifted musician, Allen spent a number of years in orchestra, under the instruction of Principal Base Player for the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra, James “Jim” Hatch.

In a Tulsa Today exclusive, Hatch states, “My main idea of Kris is that he is very talented and has the ability to pick up on things right away--style wise. That is very evident. He has written songs on his own in the past and that will be something that comes easily for him.”

He continues, “I’m reminded of the quote, Don’t give me inspiration, give me a deadline. Kris will have to deal with that. He is the type that gets totally immersed in his work, so he’ll be able to handle those deadlines.”

One of the world’s leading viola players, Allen is also described as a musician that knows what to do with Mozart. “That is really part of his overall talent. He can pick up anything and play or sing it,” Hatch said.
