Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram and Samantha Fish

Grammy-winning guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Christone “Kingfish” Ingram has quickly become the defining blues voice of his generation. From his hometown of Clarksdale, Miss. to stages around the globe, the young blues star has already headlined multiple U.S. and European tours, and amazed fans in Australia, New Zealand, and India. Selected in summer 2022 to open for The Rolling Stones in London’s Hyde Park, Ingram has also performed and toured with friends including Vampire Weekend, Jason Isbell, Steve Miller and Buddy Guy, a mentor of his, with whom he appeared on Austin City Limits.

Since he burst onto the scene in 2019, Ingram has been nominated for 10 Blues Music Awards and won them all. 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.” In September 2023, Ingram released his jaw-dropping third album, “Live In London.” Recorded on June 6, 2023, in front of a sweaty, sold-out, standing-room-only crowd at the famous UK club The Garage, “Live In London” is the guitar-driven live album Ingram’s fans around the world have been clamoring for since they first watched him perform as a teenager on YouTube.

Samantha Fish has had an action-packed two years, including a Grammy nod for Best Contemporary Blues Album for her record “Deathwish Blues,” being handpicked by Eric Clapton for his prestigious 2023 Crossroads Festival, kicking off the first leg of SLASH's 2024 S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival tour, joining the 2025 Experience Hendrix Tour, and landing the support slot for the Rolling Stones on what might be their final North American date.

Known first and foremost for her fretwork, Fish’s secret weapon is her astute and nuanced storytelling and ultra-vivid detail from carefully honing her craft. Growing up in Missouri, Fish first found her love of songwriting in her late teens, mining inspiration from Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen. She took up the guitar at age 15 and began seeking gigs by cold-calling countless local bars. Over the years, Fish has maintained her reputation as a phenomenal live act and repeatedly turned out critically acclaimed albums, earning an ever-growing number of accolades.
