Christone "Kingfish" Ingram

A guitarist whose music is based in the blues but also reflects the influence of rock, R&B, and hip-hop, Christone "Kingfish" Ingram was just 20 years old when he released his first album and had already earned a reputation after being cited as a talent to watch by a number of respected rock and blues artists. Ingram had been performing in public since he was 11 and had already appeared on-stage with the likes of Buddy Guy, Robert Randolph, and the Tedeschi Trucks Band when he issued 2019's Kingfish, where he showed off a full-bodied style that ran the gamut from the tough, rumbling attack of blues-rock to the gentle but potent touch of classic acoustic blues. Kingfish established Ingram as a force in modern blues and he consolidated its success with 2021's sophomore set 662. Live in London followed in 2023.
