Chris Cain

Guitar virtuoso, vocalist and songwriter Chris Cain will perform live at the Spire Center for Performing Arts in Plymouth on Friday, April 18, 2025. “Chris Cain,” the great B.B. King declared years ago, “now that boy can play the guitar.” With more than three decades of touring and fifteen previous albums under his belt, Cain, once known as “one of the greatest guitarists you’ve never heard,” is now celebrated by fans and fellow musicians alike as being among the blues’ most talented and exciting players. His original songs overflow with surprising hooks and feature razor-sharp lyrics that are moving and humorously insightful. With his powerful, soul man’s voice and his inventive guitar work–inspired by Grant Green and Wes Montgomery as much as by B.B. King and Albert King—Cain’s talents are unparalleled in the blues world. Cain’s second Alligator Records album, Good Intentions Gone Bad, is another giant leap forward for the man Living Blues says is currently “turning out the best work of his career.”
