Hard Rock Live is set to host one of America’s most distinctive voices when Chris Isaak takes the stage on Saturday, February 28 at 8:00 p.m. With a career spanning more than forty years, Isaak has built a loyal following on the strength of his retro rock-and-roll style, smooth vocals, and the unmistakable atmosphere of songs like “Wicked Game.”
Isaak has spent decades touring the world with his longtime band Silvertone, performing the kind of shows that feel equal parts California cool and vintage heartbreak. Along the way he’s released a dozen albums, appeared in major films, and contributed music to fan-favorite soundtracks including Eyes Wide Shut, True Romance, and Blue Velvet. His résumé extends to television as well, from starring in The Chris Isaak Show on SHOWTIME to serving as a judge on The X Factor Australia.
This year marks the 35th anniversary of Isaak’s Heart-Shaped World album, which introduced one of the most recognizable songs of its era. Between that milestone and his 2022 Americana Lifetime Achievement Award for Performance, Isaak arrives in Sacramento as an artist whose legacy is still growing.
Fans headed to Hard Rock Live can expect the full Chris Isaak experience: the suit, the swagger, the timeless sound, and the kind of show that proves why he’s been selling out venues for decades.
