Blues sensation Christone “Kingfish” Ingram is set to perform three times in Connecticut next weekend. He’s celebrating the release of his dynamic second Alligator Records album, the recently Grammy-nominated “662” , which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues chart.
Kingfish has a performance at the Warehouse at FTC in Fairfield Feb. 10; at Infinity Hall in Hartford Feb. 11; and at Infinity Hall in Norfolk Feb. 12.
In his short career, the 22 year-old Ingram has already become the most celebrated blues musician of his generation, and for good reason. Buddy Guy called him, “the next explosion of blues.” Rolling Stone declared him to be “one of the most exciting young guitarists in years, with a sound that encompasses B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix and Prince.”
NPR Music described his music as “blues at its raw and powerful best.” He also received an avalanche of national and regional press, in major dailiesincluding the New York Times, Washington Post, national publications such as DownBeat, Relix, MOJO and just about all the guitar magazines, and a host of online media.
Ingram appeared on PBS-TV’s “American Creators” series, NPR’s All Songs Considered and World Café, and XM/SIRIUS’ Bluesville channel. Besides his Grammy nomination for his self-titled Alligator debut, “Kingfish”, released in 2019, the album earned five Blues Music Awards and four Living Blues Awards, including Album Of The Year in both competitions.
Ingram also had the honor of being named an NPR Music Slingshot Artist as a breakout artist to watch. For tickets, call 203-259-1036 to or 866-666-6306.
