The singer-songwriter, musician, actor and talk show host is a perfect fit for JetBlue with long-running hits in his repertoire including "Wicked Game," "Forever Blue," "Baby did a Bad, Bad Thing," "Somebody's Crying."  His music was also featured in the films "Blue Velvet" and "Eyes Wide Shut."  Isaak himself has appeared in several films including "Little Buddha" "That Thing You Do," "Silence of the Lambs" among others. Isaak's newest album, Beyond the Sun, is a self-described labor of love paying tribute to the influential sound of Sun Records and the artists who helped shape Rock n' Roll.
