Blues + Brews III: An Evening With... Kingfish

16 year-old Clarksdale, MS guitar prodigy Christone “Kingfish” Ingram headlines live at Young Avenue Deli

Memphis, TN – The third installment of the “Blues + Brews: An Evening With…” concert series showcases the future of the Blues to the Mid-South. On Friday, February 27, 2015, musical wunderkind Christone “Kingfish” Ingram will headline his first live performance in Memphis, Tennessee.

After an appearance at the White House and touring dates in France, Kingfish is coming back to Memphis to thrill audiences with his soulful, Delta sound.  Since he last took the stage in Memphis, opening for “Blues + Brews II,” his career has catapulted to the national stage as he has been featured on the Rachael Ray Show, numerous news outlets, as well as, shared and liked across all major social media.

Kingfish Ingram is extraordinary talent and has a huge personality to boot.  Kingfish is a true descendent of music legend Charlie Pride.  Originally from Delta blues country in Mississippi, he picked up the bass guitar at the unexpected age of 5.  Under the tutelage of music legends Richard "Daddy Rich” Crisman and Bill “Howl-N-Madd” Perry he learned the history of the Blues genre and honed musical chops far beyond his years.

Ingram is a one of a kind showman and his live performances are not to be missed.  Event doors will open at Young Avenue Deli at 9pm and live music will begin at 10pm with Christone “Kingfish” Ingram performing two full music sets. Craft and domestic beer specials will be provided by AS Barboro and Young Avenue Deli all night long.
