Allen, who is originally from Tennessee and began singing in a children’s choir when he was in kindergarten, was invited to perform at The Village School to help recognize the school making it through a year of the pandemic. “We wanted to mark the one-year anniversary being able to have school face-to-face with a local celebrity,” said Dennis Chapman, head of the Village School, which is just off Goodlette-Frank Road, and north of Pine Ridge Road. Allen also will headline the private Christian school’s annual gala fundraiser April 23. He actually gave two performances Wednesday — one before the lower school and the second before middle- and upper-school students.
