 Chris Isaak plays himself as a low-key, nebbishy rock star fumbling sincerely with mundane neighborhood and bizarre rock god situations, with the help but more often, hindrance of his band and manager/ex-girlfriend (Kristine Dattilo). His TV band includes 3 of his real long-time back-ups (Hershel Yatovitz, Rolly Salley and the droll Kenney Dale Johnson). Frequent music biz guest stars play themselves and jam with sharply-dressed nice guy Chris, such as Trisha Yearwood and Billie Joe Armstrong.
