What others say about Chris.
Upon first discovering Cain in 1987, Guitar Player Magazine raved, “Cain is an impressive, top-notch guitarist. His full-bodied tone and surprisingly big voice packed a punch that had me reeling.” The Washington Post declared, “Chris Cain is a hot-shot guitarist and a singer with the maturity of old blues masters like Bobby Bland and B.B. King.” Guitar icon Robben Ford said, “Chris Cain is for real. He’s a great blues player with an intensity that keeps you on the edge of your seat, wondering what he’s going to do next. Plus he knows how to write a song you haven’t heard before, full of humor and insight. If you like the blues you’ll like Chris Cain. I am a stone fan.”
"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 is so talented. Great singer, great guitarist, great songwriter. And a wonderful entertainer. Never missed a chance to see him when he came to Sacto. Loved the mention of Fenton. Like Chris, one of the great unsung talents of the blues.
