Chris Cain plays the blues in Olympic Valley

Brad Elligood

Memphis Blues | Aug. 15 | Bluesdays | Palisades Tahoe

Chris Cain is known for a soulful stew of Memphis-style electric blues with deep, powerful vocals and unforgettable guitar riffs. Blues music played continuously on his home stereo and family outings were often trips to concerts. He attended his first B.B King concert at the tender age of 3.

At age 8, Cain taught himself to play guitar and began playing professionally before he was 18. He burst onto the scene in 1987 with an award-winning debut album and has since released a dozen LPs, each filled with soul-stirring songs pulled from his own blues-drenched heart. | palisadestahoe.com
