Christone “Kingfish” Ingram at 52 Sumner

Join GRAMMY-winning guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Christone “Kingfish” Ingram as he brings The Hard Road Tour to Springfield's own 52 Sumner!

Hailing from Clarksdale, Mississippi, a city rich in blues history, Kingfish channels the spirit of the Delta while innovating for the future. His latest project, Hard Road, is his most introspective and ambitious yet, reflecting on his journey from local prodigy to global torchbearer of a new blues era.

He has expanded the blues genre by blending funk, soul, hip-hop, pop, and jazz, creating a modern fusion that resonates across generations. His debut album, Kingfish, earned a Grammy nomination and topped the Billboard Blues Chart for 91 weeks. His follow-up, 662, won the Grammy for Best Contemporary Blues Album in 2022. The fiery performance captured in Live in London earned him another Grammy nomination, solidifying his reputation as one of the most dynamic live performers in the genre.
