Just back from the Chris Isaak concert at the San Michelle winery, I was a special guest with a VIP pass provided by my niece and her husband. His company is the premier sound provider for concerts in the northwest. Thank you so much Mark and Aimee.
The concert started with Nick, his brother, doing a 30 minute set. Younger brother came out and helped on a couple of duets. The act was okay. Then Chris comes out and does a two hour set – unbelievable!
Chris is not a singer he is an entertainer. He has the chameleon vocal ability to evoke Johnny Cash, James Brown, Jerry Lee Lewis and Roy Orbison. His best sound however is his own, the ethereal, haunting song Wicked Game. Listen to it! It will transport you to a different plane of existence.
He made several jokes about his rhinestone monkey suit and he came out into the audience several times. He also highlighted all the band members for one song or another.
It was an incredible evening.
