After moving to Boston at the age of 19 Kris started performing on the streets as well as in many venues across the East coast, Kris has journeyed from the parks of Boston to famous venues all around New York, from the Bitter End, the Living Room, and even Carnegie Hall. His debut EP Anything But Alone and his acoustic album Tales of Bufflebear are filled with songs that tell us how he got there. But most importantly, Kris’ music lets us know that despite his strong start, he is just getting warmed up. Kris, an active supporter of environmental causes, is proud to part of the Kiwi　Live series and SurfAid International's efforts.
