Chris Cain @ Wildey Theatre

Chris Cain offers up a soulful stew of Memphis style electric blues. His powerfully deep vocals and jazz inspired, blues guitar riffs are unforgettable; uniquely his own, while reminiscent of the legendary BB King and Albert King.

Over the years, Cain has been invited to share stages with blues legends old and young. He’s performed with Albert King, Albert Collins, Buddy Guy, Eddie “Cleanhead” Vinson, Johnny Copeland, Jimmy Witherspoon, Joe Bonamassa, Charlie Musselwhite, Elvin Bishop, and most recently, GRAMMY-winner Christone “Kingfish” Ingram.

Today, blues musician, songwriter and vocalist Chris Cain is playing guitar better than he ever has. “I’ve stopped overthinking,” he says, “and now just play and sing what I feel.” With more than three decades of touring and fifteen previous albums under his belt, Cain, once known as “one of the greatest guitarists you’ve never heard,” is now celebrated by fans and fellow musicians alike as being among the blues’ most talented and exciting players. His original songs overflow with surprising hooks and feature razor-sharp lyrics that are moving and humorously insightful. With his powerful, soul man’s voice and his inventive guitar work–inspired by Grant Green and Wes Montgomery as much as by B.B. King and Albert King–Cain’s talents are unparalleled in the blues world.
