An Evening with Chris Isaak
February 13th
ACL Live
More than a quarter of a
century into his career, Chris Isaak has finally created the
album he's always wanted to make. Now, PBS will tape the An Evening with Chris Isaak concert event on Monday, February 13th, at ACL Live
in support of the new album, Beyond
the Sun.
As a child spinning
his parents 45s in their Stockton, CA, home, Isaak became
obsessed with the glory days of Memphis' Sun Studio and the
visionary artists who got their starts there - including Elvis
Presley, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee
Lewis. All were discovered and nurtured by the late,
great Sun Records founder, Sam Phillips.
Isaak has acted on this
lifelong obsession, recapturing the transformative hep-cat
sound of the classic sides cut by the greats at Sun with
Phillips during the mid-1950s. Isaak's first Vanguard
Records, Beyond the Sun was released on October 18th.
Isaak will perform
with special guest Wanda Jackson, in The Moody Theater at ACL
Live, starting at 8 p.m. Tickets will be $39 to 59 and
will go on sale this Friday, January 27th at noon.
ACL Live is located at 310
W. Willie Nelson Blvd - on the corner of Guadalupe and W. 3rd -
next door to The W Hotel. Tickets will be available in store at
Waterloo Records, by phone at (877) 435-9849 and online at www.ACL-Live.com.
