CHRIS ISAAK

Despite being born in California, Chris Isaak is a modern ambassador for the rockabilly / country and rock traditions of Sun Records and, in particular, Roy Orbison. 

Isaak was born in 1956. While in college, he formed the band Silvertone. The group evolved into his backing musicians. In 1985, his debut album 'Silvertone' was issued. A single, entitled "Dancin'", dented the Australian chart. "Blue Hotel" widened his fan base. This single was on his self-titled 2nd album. 

In the meantime, Isaak pursued his acting aspirations in films and his own TV series. One project, the David Lynch- directed 'Wild At Heart', turned "Wicked Game" into a worldwide hit in 1990. 

Isaak has enjoyed other chart hits, including "Baby Did A Bad, Bad Thing" which benefitted from exposure in the film 'Eyes Wide Shut'.

The singer / songwriter / guitarist continues touring the world and recording new music. In 2015, he became a judge on the TV talent show "The X Factor Australia".
