When legendary blues guitarist Buddy Guy take the stage at Capital One Hall on April 2, 2022, he brings with him a blues prodigy Christone "Kingfish" Ingram. Just as Buddy Guy was one of the defining blues voices of his generation, Kingfish has quickly become the defining blues voice of his.
Christone "Kingfish" Ingram - 662
Ingram first caught the attention of blues lovers on the national scene in 2019 when Kingfish was released. In the two years since Kingfish was released, there have been major events that have altered his life both personally and professionally. “There has been much change, happiness and despair in my life,” Ingram says of his last two years. Right as his career was taking off, he lost his mother and biggest champion, the late Princess Pride Ingram. Christone toured for 13 months non-stop, until the pandemic halted live performances and forced him to take stock. As he was thinking about the man he was becoming and the new directions his life was taking, he began writing songs for his next album, 662. The number 662 is the telephone area code for Ingram’s northern Mississippi home, and it first came into use the same year he was born—1999.

Ingram's appearance is part of his 2022 tour in support of his Grammy nominated and critically acclaimed album 662, appropriately entitled Christone "Kingfish" Ingram Presents 662: Juke Joint Live. Ingram says of the tour, “I’m very excited to continue my ‘662 Juke Joint Live’ tour and to partner with Outback Presents to reach current and new fans in larger, more iconic music venues across the country. Just like a Mississippi juke joint, these shows will be high-energy, jumping, and lots of fun.”
Upon its July 2021 release, 662 debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart, and it's remained on the chart ever since. NPR's Morning Edition ran a 7-minute feature on release day. Tastemaker UK magazine MOJO recently named it #1 Blues Album of 2021 and called it "an exceptional album" filled with "astonishing creativity." Influential website Under The Radar said, "Kingfish is one of the torchbearers for the blues, with his bellowing voice and shrieking, nimble solos."
Here is what others have said about Ingram.
