Hailing from Stockton, California, Isaak had an impressive run at school, being the class president for three years, and winning the Student Body President in his senior year. He was also the valedictorian. At the University of the Pacific, he earned himself a bachelor’s degree in communications graduating 1981.
Signing to Warner Bros. Records in 1984, Isaak led with the debut single “Dancin” which was also his debut music video too. It was from his debut album “Silvertone” that spawned the other singles “Gone Ridin” and “Livin’ for Your Lover”, both of which were featured in the movie, Blue Velvet. Isaak was fortunate enough to have his contract renewed in 1988, as he moved to another division of Warner Bros. called Reprise Records. It was the following year that Isaak released his song “Wicked Game”, from the album, “Heart Shaped World” released in June 1989. The song reached the top twenty of nine different countries whilst the album went on to be certified 3x Platinum by the RIAA. It peaked at number 7 on the Billboard 200. From the following album, “San Francisco Days”, released April 13th 1993, until his release “Always Got Tonight”, released February 12th 2002, Isaak’s albums were an international chart success. As was his album “Beyond the Sun”, which was released on October 18th 2011.
That’s not it though, as Isaak was the composer behind the theme song of The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn. He even starred in his own television show, The Chris Isaak Show, which aired from March 2001 until March 2004.

Chris Isaak is hot, sexy, and talented. Did I mention he's an amazing live performer? He is the entire package! Mr. Isaak gets the crowd involved. He is personable and acts like he is talking to you.
I have seen him from small indoor clubs to large outdoor venues and he sounds amazing in all settings. He gets the crowds energized. Chris get personal with the people, shakes hands, sits on laps, takes photos, and does small talk. Who does that these days?? What a guy! I love when he sings the classics......Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis. No other performer can pull that off. I think his Pretty Women is just as good as the original. His best live performance is Great Balls of Fire. I love his music too especially San Francisco Days, Somebody's Crying, and Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing. Chris Isaak would be a perfect Vegas performer! People will come all over the world to see him because he's that good.
Let me finish by saying that you will not be disappointed when seeing a Chris Isaak show since he is very entertaining and has an amazing live voice. One more thing......awesome costumes.

Chris Isaak and his band have been together for something close to 30 years. Their unique blend of rockabilly, country and blues still sounds great. They are such a well-oiled machine that even their deviations from the script are routine for them. That said, it's far from a by-the-numbers show. The set list includes his big hits like "Wicked Game" and "Baby Did A Bad, Bad Thing," covers of his hero, Roy Orbison, as well as Elvis and Merle Haggard, and songs off of his new album. But, really, when you go to his concert, you're there for the show. And the show is mostly him. He's personable and funny and he makes sure he gets the crowd with him from the get-go with his banter with the band. His frequent self-deprecating digressions in-between songs. And, on this occasion, his foray into the crowd itself, walking the aisles, jumping seats and taking selfies with the fans. You'll never walk out of a Chris Isaak concert and say that you didn't get your money's worth.

BEST CONCERT EVER!!! Chris Isaak was amazing! Not only did he perform his own songs, but also did some Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis! The way he interacted with the crowd made it feel like you were there with a friend. He even went out into the audience and talked to people. He was so personable, friendly, and very very funny! And his voice-simply amazing. Sounds exactly like his albums-pure talent. I would go see him over and over again. My friends and I are going to be talking about this concert for a long time! And I've been to plenty of concerts-there is no one I would recommend more than the pure joy and love you feel watching this man perform.

Fantastic, very entertaining show. I have seen Chris three times before and I think he was even better this time. Even more energy and great musicianship. He seems to have expanded his vocal range, if that is possible. In addition he is a very funny guy and did a number of observations about the audience being full of Texans at an Oklahoma casino. The band was top notch as always and the sound quality was great. He has so many great songs they can't fit them on one concert, but he does the expected favorites and then some. Everybody should make a point of catching a Chris Isaak show. Lots of fun.

My friend and I can honestly say that we were probably the only people there under the age of thirty! But none the less we LOVED IT. Such a great atmosphere. Such good vibes. We boogied the night away! He played so many classics. And although he was slightly before my time music is good music. The entire band put on a phenomenal show. Dressed in dazzling suits they surpassed my expectations of how well they would play. Highly suggested show on my behalf.

I have been a fan for may years. It brought my now wife together when we dated as we both love his music. First time seeing him live. It was a rush when he first opened. Wish we could have shook his hand. It rained a little, but it never bothered us, lol. 1.5 hrs was a little short listing to him and the band. And no Encore.... shame on him. But it was fun!

Chris Isaak is not only a great singer, song writer and musician but he is still one of the greatest entertainers of all time!
Who knew a kid from Stockton could turn out to be ...well, Chris Isaak!
There is a reason his fellow musicians stay with him and that his fan base is so diverse.
Love, love, love you Chris!

I always enjoy his show, I've seen 6 or 7 over the years. This show was pretty mellow, no audience women on stage or Chris making it through the crowd. I love hearing the oldies, but with so many albums there's no way to get everyone's favorites. It seemed short I guess, but he came out on time.

First off, Chris Isaak is great.
He put on a helluva show.
Two hours of incredibly well choreographed rock and roll.
Repertoire of amazing range.
So damned talented.
Great songwriter.
Not to mention the sparkle suit and the mirror suit.
RUN to see him!

Good show but unfortunately cancelled after 35 minutes due to lightening and rain storm. It was an outside venue. Otherwise it was looking to be an entertaining show. We drove 400 miles there and back to see Chris. My wife was very disappointed.
