In this episode of jack Dappa Blues Radio, I speak with Brother Christone Ingram, better known as King Fish. Clarksdale, Mississippi Blues legend in the making! King Fish discusses the culture, history, and meaning of the blues as it relates to fans, the industry, musicians, and the Black Community!   Once a generation, an artist comes along who not only reminds mainstream audiences how deeply satisfying and emotionally moving the best blues music can be but shakes the genre to its core. With both eyes on the future and the blues in his blood, 21-year-old guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Christone “Kingfish” Ingram continue to take the music world by storm after his 2019 release of his debut album, KINGFISH. Sprung from the same earth as so many of the Delta blues masters, Kingfish comes bursting out of Clarksdale, Mississippi, just ten miles from the legendary crossroads of Highways 61 and 49. A student of the Delta’s musical history, he is acutely aware of the musicians and the music that emerged from his corner of the world. “I do think I have an old soul, that I’ve been here before,” he says. “I’m moving forward with one foot in the past.”   "Is Christone "Kingfish" Ingram the future of the blues? The blues savior is one of the most exciting young guitarists in years, with a sound that encompasses B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix & Prince." —Rolling Stone    “You don’t see too many kids into blues music,” says the nascent star. “In my town, every kid wants to be a rapper – I wanted to do something no one else was doing.”  And although he grew up near the crossroads where Robert Johnson allegedly cut a deal with the devil, Kingfish insists he didn’t do any of that to make his guitar howl the blues. “I just practice all the time,” he says, “that’s the only deal I made, and it’s with myself.”   To learn more about KING FISH read here: https://www.christonekingfishingram.com/bio  For our health and wellness collection  https://lamontjackpearley.itworks.com/ https://denisepearley.itworks.com/  To Donate to The African American Folklorist Newspaper Campaign   https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-african-american-folklorist-newspaper#/  To Register for our Black Folk Narrative Crowdfunding Concert https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-african-american-folklorist-newspaper-fundraising-concert-tickets-141364217179
