From local blues prodigy to celebrated global phenomenon: The guitarist and singer from Clarksdale, Mississippi, has impressed audiences worldwide with three albums, including his Grammy-nominated debut “Kingfish” from 2019, his Grammy-winning follow-up “662,” and his introspective current album “Hard Road,” as a blues musician at the intersection of tradition and modernity. Influenced by legends such as B.B. King, Freddie King, Muddy Waters, and Prince, Ingram distills his very own sound, which, thanks to his rousing live shows, also inspires a young audience to discover the blues.
