Christone "Kingfish" Ingram

In the organizer's words:

In the six years since the release of his Grammy-nominated debut album "Kingfish", Christone "Kingfish" Ingram has become a global blues sensation. Born in Clarksdale, Mississippi - just 10 miles from the legendary intersection of Highways 61 and 49 - he has been familiar with the blues since he was a child. Supported by the Delta Blues Museum's Mentoring Program, he developed his unmistakable sound, which is influenced by legends such as B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Freddie King, Albert King, Jimi Hendrix and Prince. His Grammy award-winning album "662" and above all the gripping "Live in London", which perfectly captures the raw energy of his live shows, make him one of the most important voices of modern blues!
