    Ive met chris 4 times and he always took the time to talk to his fans. He even let me play his guitar. He also went out of his way to find a sharpie to sign my nieces doll. Such a nice human being

    Hey Chris- Remember the good ole days of rocking out at the Spartan Pub at SJSU circa 1983? For all of us struggling students, you made our worlds a lot brighter. Always intrigued by your playing way back then and just as much now. Thanks you so much. Never forget you.

    The gentleman is a great musician without the ego that others have. I had the honour of playing on the same bill as he did in New Zealand 2017 Bluesfest . Cheers to you Norm for showing the world this humble and very talented man.

    I'm living in Minneapolis now, but for years I'd catch Chris in places like JJ's in San Jose and on up to Slim's in SF. Every single time I saw him and heard him play, I told myself the same thing: Never forget this. Chris Cain is a national treasure. Blessings to him.

    • @cargo2206
      @cargo2206 Před rokem

      I’ve been to the JJ’s club next to the Jose theater on 1st street. (long gone) Never been to the one on Stevens Creek.

    I've been following Chris Cain since I heard the buzz about him at a blues jam in Portland about 15 years ago. What sets Chris apart from other guitar players, besides the huge amount of raw emotion, is the way he slides chords around, all up and down the neck - amazing!

  • @deltafit
    @deltafit Před 4 lety +11

    He is the real deal. Simple as that.

  • @michaelloveland1330

    @Halliday7895 Před rokem

    Every medium to major city in the USA has a local celebrity guitar player who reveres Chris Cain and is his dear friend. He mixes jazz and blues in a tasteful way...he sings like a true old bluesman. He's a treasure - i saw him in a little club once when a outdoor stage was rained out....humble and solid AF!

    @stevecohn645 Před 5 měsíci

    Just saw Chris last night at Arts Garage on Delray Beach Florida. He breaks his high E string about 10 min into the second set and proceeds to finish the show playing on 5 strings…..including s few Albert King songs. Albert King on 5 Strings….wow. He is truly a master and one of the most humble and nice person you will ever meet…

    I'm lovin' the early 1990 Gibsons and Fenders. Nearly 3 decades old, and aging beautifully. Best kept secret for guitar lovers. Chris Cain could make a $500 guitar sound great.

    @Joshualbm Před 2 lety +1

    Such a great and humble musician and man. I looked at his schedule and he's got quite an amazing south American tour coming up. Hopefully they let him come home! One always wonders when our great artists go abroad as to whether they'll ever come home. Because it seems that the appreciation for this level of talent is so well understood and received by other countries yet largely lost on Americans. It's strange and unfortunate.

    I happened to be a little club in Redwood City, CA. The name on the Marquee was Chris Cain. This little guy walked out on stage in a three-piece suit and I wondered; Is this the club accountant or a very well-dressed roadie?😂
    The little man strapped on the guitar, and I wasn't laughing anymore!😮
    What a understated talent! Though... He looks like he's dressing more like Elvin Bishop lately!😂

    to be fair,, "channelling bb king"
    when I saw bb his guitar was out of tune the whole night,his tone was golden but his guitar kept going out of tune so bb just put a lil extra bend to be in tune or sang more(his voice was perfect)
