Presented by the New Mexico BioPark Society, this show is a special Go Wild fundraiser concert benefiting the ABQ BioPark.Throughout his impressive recording career—from his stunning 1985 debut to this latest release—Chris Isaak has tunefully and artfully explored the good, the bad and the ugly of love, as well as other matters of profound human interest.
“This concert is a chance to see an amazing artist at a really good price,” said Maryann Torrez, Special Events and Operations Manager. “The great value benefits Chris Isaak fans and the BioPark since this is a fundraiser.”
One of his best known songs, “Wicked Game,” reached No. 6 on the 1991 Billboard pop charts and featured in David Lynch film “Wild at Heart.” The song’s black and white video, directed by Herb Ritts, featuring model Helena Christensen frolicking on the beach with Isaak, won MTV Video Music Awards’ Best Male Video and ranked #13 on VH1’s 100 Greatest Videos.
