📍 Place Saint-Nazaire, 11000 Carcassonne
À propos
Chris Isaak, the legendary California crooner, arrives for the first time at the Carcassonne 2026 Festival with a special date!
Gaudy suit, slicked-back hair, powerful voice: Chris Isaak, a child of the sixties lulled by the ardor of Elvis, swims against the tide to celebrate a rock that smells of yesteryear. Optimistic by nature, he makes light of the prevailing spleen to build an extraordinary musical empire. A true heir to Dean Martin, Bing Crosby and the great Elvis Presley, Chris Isaak is a headwind, freezing time with grace. This contemporary cowboy, ready to draw his second-hand Gibson J-200 at the slightest emotion, couldn't care less about trends and eras. With his charming smile, aerodynamic hairstyle and electrically colored clothes, this diamond in the rough from Stockton, a discreet town in California, sets his suave, languorous voice to velvety melodies in the tradition of his childhood heroes, such as Leadbelly and Hank Williams, whom he used to listen to on an old, barely functional electrophone.
In a way, Chris Isaak, from a very modest family, has always been a step behind, and therein lies the paradox. The American crooner, a talented former boxer whose nose still bears the scars, always strikes at the right time, and without warning, to break away from the crowd with hits that came out of nowhere, that nobody believed in. Blue Hôtel was heralded as a commercial failure by his label at the time, Wicked Game as a shipwreck: they became worldwide hits. Yes, this indefatigable lover of Roy Orbison, who defines himself as the median between a poet and a redneck, could have fallen back into oblivion many times over. But the legacy he has carried, and sculpted since the eighties, is his point of balance: Chris Isaak will never fall.
And so, always in a good mood, this extravagant dandy by nature, breaking with the codes of political correctness, marvelously resurrects the spirit of the sixties, injecting it with a dose of timeless modernity. Frugality, serenity, romanticism: Chris Isaak plays with adjectives to transform his adventures and anecdotes into a moving, energetic tribute to the rockabilly of yesteryear.
