"KINGFISH" Reigns at the Fountain Blues & Brews Festival June 14 & 15

Christone “Kingfish” Ingram has quickly become one of the most thrilling voices in the blues world. A GRAMMY-winning guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter from Clarksdale, Mississippi, Kingfish burst onto the scene in 2019 and has since taken the blues global—touring the U.S., Europe, Australia, and beyond. He's performed with The Rolling Stones, Buddy Guy, and Jason Isbell, and his electrifying stage presence has drawn comparisons to legends like Jimi Hendrix and B.B. King.
Praised for his searing tone and soulful vocals, Kingfish’s artistry was spotlighted again in 2023 with the release of his live album Live In London, a GRAMMY-nominated record capturing the fiery magic of his sold-out show at The Garage in the UK. With 12 Blues Music Awards to his name and a rapidly growing global fanbase, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram is not just keeping the blues alive—he’s pushing it forward with heart, grit, and astonishing talent.
