Chris Isaak

Chris Isaak brings a distinctive blend of rockabilly, country and roots rock, framed by a smooth croon and ringing, reverb-rich guitar. His breakthrough “Wicked Game,” from the album Heart-Shaped World, turned a slow-burning love song into one of his signature recordings; “Blue Hotel” and “Somebody’s Crying” showcase the same knack for pairing spare guitar lines with yearning melodies. A platinum-selling, Grammy-nominated artist, Isaak has spent decades performing with his longtime band, Silvertone. The appeal lies in the contrast: songs steeped in vintage sounds delivered with a voice and guitar style unmistakably his own.
