Christone Kingfish Ingram Scoops Jazz FM Award Nomination ahead of Live UK Tour
JLTT was very fortunate to witness Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram earlier this year at BST Hyde Park opening for The Rolling Stones where he entertained a sizeable crowd with two sets. Read about his nomination and UK return below:
Fast becoming an icon of his musical generation, American Blues guitarist and singer Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram blasts onto British shores for his UK tour this October, tightly clutching a highly coveted Jazz FM award nomination for ‘Best Blues Artist’ 2022.
Following his sell-out London show earlier this year, ferocious public demand will see Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram return to the UK stages with a full headline UK tour this October. The 6-date tour which will see the singer perform in Sheffield, Birmingham, Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester and London.
Since the release of Kingfish, his Grammy-nominated 2019 Alligator Records debut, guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Christone “Kingfish” Ingram has quickly become the defining blues voice of his generation. From his hometown of Clarksdale, Mississippi to stages around the world, the now 22-year-old has already headlined two national tours and performed with friends including Vampire Weekend, Jason Isbell and Buddy Guy (with whom he appeared on Austin City Limits). He was interviewed by Sir Elton John on his Apple Music podcast, Rocket Hour, and released a duet with Bootsy Collins. In January 2021, Ingram was simultaneously on the covers of both Guitar World and DownBeat magazines and graced the cover of Living Blues in late 2020. Rolling Stone declared, “Kingfish is one of the most exciting young guitarists in years, with a sound that encompasses B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix and Prince.”
