Chris Isaak with Alison Scott

He looks like a cross between Buck Owens and Morrissey—which, come to think of it, is a fairly apt description of the Chris Isaak sound. Whether you were drawn in by that bare-chested babe who pranced about the video for his biggest hit to date, “Wicked Game,” or genuinely fell for the man’s ethereal, rockabilly, and surf-styled ballads, an Isaak concert is a virtual lock to be a smooth, stylish, and thoroughly date-friendly affair. In recent years he’s done some acting and cavorted with Hollywood’s most reliable nip-slipper, Bai Ling, but with the release of last year’s Best of Chris Isaak CD, the finest of quavering troubadours seems to be once again turning his attention to what he does best. 651-989-5151; www.suemclean.com
