About the Artist

“Ingram plays guitar with dramatic, searing tone and sure-handed authority. And that’s just
in the studio; he’s even scarier live.” –NPR Music

“Muscular guitar and gorgeous vocals…[there is] an intense rolling melodicism in Ingram’s
singing and soloing” –AllMusic

“Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram has already made his mark as one of the best, and undoubtedly
most exci3ng, blues guitarists in the world.” –Guitar World

GRAMMY-winning guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Christone “Kingfish” Ingram has
quickly become the defining blues voice of his generaEon. From his hometown of
Clarksdale, Mississippi to stages around the globe, the young blues star has already
headlined mulEple U.S. and European tours, and amazed fans in Australia, New
Zealand, Japan, Canada and India. Selected in summer 2022 to open for The Rolling Stones in
London’s Hyde Park, Kingfish has also performed and toured with friends including
Vampire Weekend, Jason Isbell, Steve Miller and Buddy Guy, a mentor of his, with
whom he appeared on AusEn City Limits.

Since he burst onto the scene in 2019, Ingram has been nominated for 12 Blues Music
Awards and won them all. Rolling Stone declared, “Kingfish is one of the most exciEng
young guitarists in years, with a sound that encompasses B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix and
Prince.” In September 2023, Kingfish released his jaw-dropping, GRAMMY-nominated, third
album, Live In London. Recorded on June 6, 2023, in front of a sweaty, sold-out, standing-roomonly
crowd at the famous UK club, The Garage, Live In London is the guitar-driven live
album Kingfish’s fans around the world have been clamoring for since they first watched
him perform as a teenager on YouTube.

Sparked by his non-stop touring, wriEng and recording schedule, Kingfish’s natural talent just
keeps growing. With his jaw-dropping guitar playing and his reach-out-and-grab-you-by-thecollar
vocals, he performs every song with unmatched passion and precision. To see him live in
person is an onstage snapshot of the young singer, songwriter and guitarist creaEng musical
magic in real Eme, leaving his listeners spellbound and always wanEng more.
