CHRIS ISAAK IN CONCERT:
When it comes to rock heartthrobs, iconic crooner Chris Isaak is the standard by which all other artists should be judged. Silky voice and shimmering guitar tones? Check. Baby blue eyes and lustrous pompadour? Check. Enough charm and charisma to swindle you out of your savings? Blank check. Starting with his 1985 debut, Isaak has consistently backed up his good looks with serious chops as a performer, and his 2014 tour dates should be no different. Whether he's breaking hearts with "Wicked Game" or casually chatting with his audience, Isaak's talent and magnetism always make for an unforgettable concert experience.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born to a blue-collar California family, Isaak was a high achiever from an early age, serving as student body president of his high school and graduating as class valedictorian. He signed to Warner Bros. in 1984, making his album debut the following year with Silvertone, a moderate success. His self-titled 1986 sophomore album fared similarly, but 1989's Heart Shaped World was a breakout hit, catapulting him to international fame with the steamy single "Wicked Game." Following a string of popular albums released in the '90s, Isaak had a successful run hosting his own talk show The Chris Isaak Show from 2001-2004. On tour once again in 2014, Isaak will treat fans to classics from his decade-spanning catalog as rumors swirl about the possibility of new material on the not-so-distant horizon.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Chris Isaak was, as usual, wonderful to watch, a delight to listen to, and fun, fun, fun. I love the way he works his way through the audience and interacts with as many people as he can. He is witty and shares stories."
"Chris is one of the best performers around. He really involves the audience in the show and you feel like you are participating - not just viewing."
"Chris played almost non-stop for a full two hours. He's an excellent showman: he did most of his well-known songs and joked with the audience. Great sense of humor and a beautiful voice."

Chris keeps getting better and better. I have attended several of his shows at Hoyt Sherman in Des Moines, IA. He comes out into the audience and even upstairs in the balcony while singing to individuals. His talk with the audience could almost be classified as a comedy show with songs in between. His band members are excellent as well. Will keep going back to see him every time I get a chance!!
Well worth the trip. Chris has not lost a beat and his voice is as great as ever.
Excellent entertainer..loved his interaction with the audience. Sounded amazing..so clear..great Venue to see him at. Looking forward to his next concert. ??????
??Love Chris Isaak shows. We have attended several years at Chateau Ste. Michelle. Music is great and he does a super job of connecting with the audience. Bonus: He’s got a sense of humor and seems to share more and more of it over the years! I have always enjoyed his opening acts, too.
Chris Isaac put on a great show last week!! His voice was still just as great performing live We always like how he interacts with his fans Stepping out into the crowds- letting them take a picture and just letting us know he appreciates his fans Will definitely buy a ticket next year at the Chateau to see him again!!
I have been going to concerts at St Michelle since 1984. The venue was awesome, the ambiance was incredible, and the pricing was very reasonable. That has all changed!! $50.00 to park your car, when it was $20.00 for years! $30.00 for a bottle of wine that you can buy in the grocery store for half, and yes, they pay their employees too! The lawn seating was the best part, and now they have cut that in half with reserved seating, plus the lawn slopes away from the stage so sitting in low back chairs makes it challenging to see anything. Besides that, Chris Isaak puts on a great show!
A great sense of humour, a great show. Chris really engages with the audience. One tiny request - please don’t play the absolutely saddest song as the last one of the concert - something with a bit more hope.
We have been going to his concerts at the winery for years now, it’s a tradition at this point. We absolutely love the atmosphere there and that he creates, he connects to the fans and entertains them beyond singing. It was such a good night we still talk about it. LOVE!
Fabulous. Very personable. His walk among the audience was great fun.
