Mat Kearney has been heard everywhere from "Grey's Anatomy" to on tour with Keane. The next place the singer/songwriter hopes to hear his work is the debut of "American Idol" winner Kris Allen.
Kearney teamed up with Kris in early August to write a tune (watch interview with MTV News below).
Amid a flurry of the usual "Idol" collaborators, Allen surprised many when he announced that he was also working with Kearney according to MTV. The singer/songwriter was just as surprised. "I think [Kris] was just a fan," Kearney said of how they ended up collaborating. "What he told me was that he was just picking bands that he liked." (Those bands apparently include Semisonic, Daughtry, the Fray and the Calling — members from each of those groups have all been mentioned in connection with Kris' album.)
