King, Albert King, Ray Charles, and a pinch of Albert Collins. Add in dazzling blues and jazz guitar chops, a rich soulful baritone vocal delivering original, often wry and beleaguered lyrics with sophisticated chord changes and instrumentation, and skills on various horns and keyboards, all delivered with an uptown cool that never lacks searing passion. It all adds up to the one and only Chris Cain, who has gone from being a newcomer phenomenon bursting onto the blues scene in 1987 with a classic debut release, to being a legend, inspiration and long-established member of the blues pantheon.His jazz-informed blues guitar playing is fiery, emotional and always unpredictable. His vocals—gruff, lived-in and powerful—add fuel to the fire. His indelible original songs keep one foot in the blues tradition and both eyes on the future. The pure joy Cain brings to his playing and singing is palpable, and draws fans even closer in."Hands down my favorite blues player on the scene today. He’s an absolute blinder of a guitarist, with the voice of B.B. King and the chops of Albert King." –Joe Bonamassa"Chris Cain? Now that boy can PLAY the guitar!" –B.B. King"Chris Cain is a hot-shot guitarist and a singer with the maturity of blues masters like Bobby Bland and B.B. King." –The Washington Post - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/oakland/chris-cain/100001994092685903 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: all_ages - door_time: 2026-09-19T01:30:00Z - Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes - Location: The Sound Room - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 35.98, max: 35.98, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Oakland - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: The Sound Room - **lat**: 37.8190855 - **long**: -122.2615116 - **full address**: The Sound Room, 3022 Broadway, Oakland, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Chris Cain - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/3de263c04470993880e65329f4564b6b2ad492be6c2e5891366f1d6b5d114d0f-rimg-w1200-h1200-dc040303-gmir.jpg?v=1784180854 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Chris Cain being held? - **A:** Chris Cain takes place on Fri, 18 Sep, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Fri, 18 Sep, 2026 at 10:00 pm at The Sound Room, 3022 Broadway, Oakland, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Chris Cain? - **A:** Chris Cain is organized by Bay Area Jazz & Arts, Inc. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at Bay Area Jazz & Arts, Inc's events? - **A:** Attendees have given Bay Area Jazz & Arts, Inc a rating of 4/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
