“Christone “Kingfish” Ingram has already made his mark as one of the best, and undoubtedly most exciting, blues guitarists in the world.”
–Guitar World
Grammy Award-winning guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Christone “Kingfish” Ingram will perform live at The Center for the Arts in Grass Valley on Saturday, August 5, 2023. 662, his latest Alligator Records release, won the 2022 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album, the Blues Music Award for Best Blues Album, and topped both the DownBeat Critics’ Poll and the Living Blues Critics’ Poll. Since his groundbreaking 2019 debut, Kingfish , Ingram has been nominated for a total of ten Blues Music Awards and has won them all. He’s also won nine Living Blues Awards and two Blues Blast Music Awards.
And the momentum has continued to build. In July 2022, The Washington Post Magazine ran a 5000-word story on the young bluesman as Kingfish simultaneously appeared on the cover of Guitar World magazine, who declared, “Kingfish is one of the hottest guitar players in the world…He’s a seasoned road warrior on a mission to spread the beauty and majesty of the blues. Ingram is the real deal, and he’s here to stay.”
Kingfish’s latest single is the groundbreaking song, Another Life Goes By (Mississippi Mix), the newly remixed track featuring indie rapper Big K.R.I.T. The song blends the urgency of hip hop with the timelessness of the blues.
