If you’ve been living under a rock and need a refresher on who exactly this is, Chris Isaak is one of the most famous singers from the 90s that there is. Known for his ultra smooth signature vocals and radio hits such as Wicked Game, Only the Lonely, Blue Hotel and Somebody’s Crying, Isaak is a legend. Read the full Wikipedia article on Chris Isaak.
I’m looking forward to the evening in a big kind of way and can’t wait to play for Chris’ loyal fans and the many animals at the Oregon Zoo. See you all very soon!!
Here’s what the Zoo website had to say about Chris Isaak:
With the ability to croon ballads and dig deep to sing infectious rock ‘n’ roll, this singer–songwriter is a Grammy nominee, accomplished television and movie actor, and platinum–selling artist with 12 hit songs, including “Wicked Game.” He was the host of “The Chris Isaak Hour” on the Biography Channel, working with Stevie Nicks, Michael Buble and Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens). He most recently released “Mr. Lucky” in 2009. Getting lucky has rarely sounded so good. “Mr. Lucky” perfectly balances the ecstasy of great romance with the agony of pure heartbreak. The album offers passionate music that feels decidedly lived–in. Like some rocking Sinatra album for the 21st century, “Mr. Lucky” is a song cycle about the good luck we earn and the bad luck we just can’t seem to shake. Right from its killer opener — the wonderfully tortured “Cheater’s Town” — to the concluding and uplifting “Big, Wide Wonderful World,” Isaak takes us all on a dark but beautiful ride — one you will likely recognize as your own. “I have my dream job, and I’m still working,” Isaak says. “And you just can’t get any luckier than that.”
