If you’re ever strolling through the Boston Commons on a sunny day, you may hear some irresistible acoustic pop coming out of a battery-powered amplifier. And if you’re lucky—it may be the music of Kris Roche. The son of wayfaring hippies, one from New York, one from Tokyo, Kris moved to Boston at age 19 and has been making a name for himself ever since. One part Jason Mraz, one part Jack Johnson, and one part playing the hell out the guitar like it was a djembe, his music is fun but sensible, sing-along-able but honest. His new EP Anything But Alone is due out this summer, and the heartfelt tunes could make you do a lot of things. Dance. Sway. Listen. Think. Just don’t forget to tip the man when you see him out on the Commons.
