Correct me if I’m wrong but this is the most impressive teenager in the world. His out of this world talent in guitar and singing, coupled with the obvious difficulties with his weight. Still the most humble and respectful performer I’ve come across. To me this is the definition of an inspiration.
joey alexander is fairly impressive as well... if they should ever play together on the same stage, i have a feeling we'll stop trying to rank teenagers and just listen instead
Hope he's been checked by a good doctor. I know someone who had weight issues and got diagnosed in her 20s with some gland issue. Medicine fixed her, and she won some big pageant later in Georgia.
+Travis H Ay man! That's me in the video! It's all good. Quinn is a great friend of mine and a fantastic guitarist! I respect your opinion. lol. Everybody's not the same. lol.
Don't get me wrong you are amazing. I was just letting North Olmsted know that you aren't the only young upcoming guitarist that is a genius/ future guitar great. I shouldn't have said quinn is better than you because I just found you and have a lot of listening to do. That was kind of ignorant of me to compare 2 different amazing artists so i apologize for that haha. You are both killing it and would love to see you and quinn play together sometime.
BB king was an upper. Above legends. He loved music, and he was really Nice dude. I don't know... I don't believe in reincarnation at all, but if all that stuff is true, then he might have been BB the Kingfish.
There's been some Outstanding Blues Musicians...SRV, Albert Collins, Albert King, Buddy Guy. But it's AWESOME to see someone so young and talented as this kid.
This kid Christone "Kingfish" Ingram knows how to make a guitar sing, cry, laugh, cough, yell, scream, shout, groove and everything the emotion can do he manifest in the guitar. Thank you God for this genius.
I'm not sure whether I heard a better blues guitarist than this guy. He seems to do with the guitar whatever he wants to do with it. This is fuckin unbelievable.
Tewks! TRUE THAT!! GIVE the ALMITY GOD " CREDIT! .im an old ALVIN LEE fan".. This kid s great! Please.. google " ROMANS 10V9..10 GOD LOVES YOU ALL! ..hope your blessed" Takecare..
Jim Pugh, on keys, played with Cray for years, before that with Etta James and Elvin Bishop, Chris Isaak and others. John Mazzocco on bass played with John Lee Hooker's Coast to Coast band, later with Curtis Salgado and Paul deLay. And Tony Coleman, on drums, played with BB for a couple of decades, and before that with everyone from Albert Collins and Little Milton to Albert King and Bobby Bland.
That's sort of what Albert King used to say to those who can play really fast. He'd say, "But they ain't sayin' nuthin" LOL! How very true. Albert or BB, i forget which one was also quoted saying, "Sometimes the what's in-between the notes are more important than the notes themselves"... lol Think about that one. Genius!
He’s an alien!! How can one play guitar in this way. He breathes blues from birth How can you play the guitar in this way with a lot of heart and soul at 17? Pure talent
prince was 19 when he appeared on American Bandstand and said he didn't sign with the record company and when asked why, he said, because they wouldn't let me "produce"
This is a crime that I'm just not hearing this 4yrs later....this boy is the chosen one the eyes closed notes are clean and the sound is dirty and the boy can sang SANG check all boxes
I saw this fella play at the Briggs Farm Blues Festival & of course he was the headline/highlight of the weekend. Today I wake up on a Sunday morning, put this on & I cannot stop crying. Wow & he makes it look so ez too!
This cat right here every video I watch I'm just more impressed.. He almost over plays riffs he's so fast and clean but his turnarounds make it all worth the while.. For his age to be that skilled and keep it in some sort of moderation is pretty amazing not to mention he's got it awesome blues tone coming out of his vocal cords.. Kingfish you just keep on doing what you're doing God bless you young man you've inspired me to up my game...
Kingfish energy levels are absolutely thru the roof in this performance. How he makes that guitar sing, just can't find the words. Much love from Amsterdam!
I can only imagine how better he will sound in about 10 years, after he " lives" a little . That is God given talent mixed with hard work. WOW, I love this guy!
Love the sound, this is a standard illustration of how to display the art of Blues. Amazing, coming from a young performer. Sky is the limit. Thanks to all the musicians on that stage. Thumbs up....
Es un maestro no tenía ocasión de escucharlo es verlo y un gusto el gran artista que es usted su más admirador Juan José Alcántara Edo de México m México 😊😊😊😊😊
I love this dude, he's got whatever it is that makes some guitar players special. They said (this is true) Einstein was one of the best violinist of his generation. “Life without playing music is inconceivable for me ... I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music … I get most joy in life out of music.” He's got that real joy.
Avant de le voir et l'entendre, on pensait que des prodiges du blues comme lui n'existait plus. 16 ans sur cette vidéo à l'époque, maintenant il est juste hallucinant!!!!!!!!!!
It's perfectly clear to me this young man didn't sit around feeling sorry for himself as a child and it's obvious what he studied that was certainly in a positive manner. OMG I wish I could play a tenth that good
I met Cristone when he was 10 at the Carlyle Library in Clarksdale MS while he was playing in the Delta Museum Band. It was impressive, he switched between base, guitar & drums...as did the other kids. He's in his mid 20's now and you can find his stuff all over the internet. Hes played with most of the current hot performers all over.
Just when I think my jaw can't drop any lower, whammo, he rips out another killer line, then another, then ten more. Yow! And sings sooooo funky. And that band is killing it as well. Keep 'em coming, please!
Being old & no more ice cream, This the best kid on the block, Hope he live longer than Jimi H and all the others who died at 27 years, fame & fortune does not buy good health, Great stuff, keep it on.
His cover of Hey Joe is so natural. This kid is incredible. Great band ensemble too; must have been a real treat to be there. I love looking at the pure happiness he is bringing so obviously to some in the crowd; the look on their faces is pure joy.
Watching this again in 2024! Kingfish was freaking 15 years old here!!! His baby lick thrown in @ 2:22 is Jimi, Ernie, Albert...all of them and Stevie. Tasty😊
God this guy is good when all this Covid crap is over I would go to America from England just to see him in the flesh play that guitar,god given talent you got there mate,
I hear so many of my favorite players in his playing. Great to get such inspiration from a young guy that can sound like Freddy King and Bill Nelson in ten seconds.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE BLUES AND HIS MUSIC 🎶!!!! HE'S ON HIS WAY!!!! HE'S GOING TO BE ONE OF OUR GREAT GREATS LIKE BB KING!!! I JUST FEEL IT!!!! YOU GO BOY GITRDUNNNNNN!!!! AND DON'T ANYONE DARE TWIST MY DAMN MEANING!!!!!
Saw him live years ago. Lived blocks from the festival and music was loud so decided to just go at the spur of the moment to check it out. I remember the goosebumps and feeling in awe.
Such a vast Blues vocabulary for such a youngman. how did he have time to soak up all this obvious knowledge, much less play like a seasoned pro . there are guitar players all over making a good living playing music that aren't as half as good as this kid. I am totally blown away by his guitar skills WOW!
Maaaaaaaaaan ! This kid is the truth ! His sound reminds me of Bernard Allison (Luther Allison's son). Can you imagine what he'll sound like at 30-35 ? He already sounds like a veteran . Damn !
this kid is a True Blues master can you imagine what he's going to sound like in about 15 years amazing BB King Muddy Waters and all the greats I looking down upon him because this boy can play and when I say play I mean play go ahead Kingfish go ahead my man play that thing True Blues thank you bro
Chris, I've been emailing these YT links to all of my music-loving friends. We're all dumbfounded by your brilliance on guitar. Keep it up - and come to Vermont!!

First listen ! 🎵
Great job and love your playing and the rest of the band too. We want to see you around a long time.
Teenage 17 yr. oid body,17,000 yr old soul,🎸.
Talents like this come along once or twice every thirty years. This is GOD given talent.
Wow ...... I can't believe it , I been playing blues for 40 years and my new guitar hero is a 17 year old , holy shhh
jjohn341 That's right jjohn
This Kid is Amazing.
he was 16 at that time
jjohn341 .... I'll give you lessons, and take your money...bring lots!
@Natmanprime 16 when this was filmed. Born in 1999. Astounding. What a player and singer.
I never thought I'd hear music from a modern teenager that would inspire me. It turns out I was wrong.
+North Olmsted Quinn Sullivan is better and is the same age.
+Travis H Ay man! That's me in the video! It's all good. Quinn is a great friend of mine and a fantastic guitarist! I respect your opinion. lol. Everybody's not the same. lol.

It's all good. Thankz....
Christone Ingram I know it doesn't mean much but keep on keepin' on. You've got some soul. I like what you're doing.
Nobody can compete with Kingfish, the King of blues. Nobody ever played and sang the soul out like this.
This the cat from Old School?
BB king was an upper. Above legends. He loved music, and he was really Nice dude. I don't know... I don't believe in reincarnation at all, but if all that stuff is true, then he might have been BB the Kingfish.
There's been some Outstanding Blues Musicians...SRV, Albert Collins, Albert King, Buddy Guy. But it's AWESOME to see someone so young and talented as this kid.
From Jimi to Stevie to B.B. Kingfisher is keeping the spirit of blues rock alive
This kid Christone "Kingfish" Ingram knows how to make a guitar sing, cry, laugh, cough, yell, scream, shout, groove and everything the emotion can do he manifest in the guitar. Thank you God for this genius.
What can I say Your description of the way he has controls the guitar portray in every sense of the act Nothing more nothing less
I'm not sure whether I heard a better blues guitarist than this guy. He seems to do with the guitar whatever he wants to do with it. This is fuckin unbelievable.
The biggie of rock n blues genre.
Agreed , the most naturally talented young blues player ive seen , great voice too .
He is amazing my 2nd favorite to Joe bonamassa
Yep, every so often ol God reaches out and taps somebody and says "YOU". Wow.

BB King's drummer is playing with this youngster. Makes him even more legit
Didn't know that, wow?! #mademan
Keyboard player has been with Robert Cray about from the beginning bass player also played with Cray

Blues isnt something that you can learn. This dude is born with a soul enchanted by all the great blues artists. Wow.
Lots of people can play the notes, few can give those notes life.
That's sort of what Albert King used to say to those who can play really fast. He'd say, "But they ain't sayin' nuthin" LOL! How very true. Albert or BB, i forget which one was also quoted saying, "Sometimes the what's in-between the notes are more important than the notes themselves"... lol Think about that one. Genius!

prince was 19 when he appeared on American Bandstand and said he didn't sign with the record company and when asked why, he said, because they wouldn't let me "produce"
After watching this, decided to turn my guitar into a coffee table.
holy moly i am still laughing, Man you got game.
As long as you leave room for a slide I don 't see the issue in that ... ;-)
I've got six of 'em, Wonder if anybody needs a good coffee table
@@George19532009 six coffee tables you mean? heh..
Lol
I am so pleased to see a young brother singing and playing the blues so wholeheartedly. I am really digging this young cat! Give him a lotta love.

Christone is Simply Outstanding. A big THANK YOU to jesterpro for posting this concert video. Great Job !
I can only imagine how better he will sound in about 10 years, after he " lives" a little . That is God given talent mixed with hard work. WOW, I love this guy!
that is a lot of time spent in the woodshed for sure but yes, he has natural ability too!
Hell he better thin b b king you ain't nerven herd bb king play like that
I have come here from the future to inform you that he will only get better and better.
Love the sound, this is a standard illustration of how to display the art of
Blues. Amazing, coming from a young
performer. Sky is the limit. Thanks to all the musicians on that stage. Thumbs up....
Can I get some help pickin my jaw up off the floor? Amazing!!
I hate the thumbs down trolls! This guy is a badass!
Es un maestro no tenía ocasión de escucharlo es verlo y un gusto el gran artista que es usted su más admirador Juan José Alcántara Edo de México m México 😊😊😊😊😊
Just as I lost hope in today's youth and music I find this dude. Keep it up lil dude keep rocking
Don't forget Robert Randolph and Samantha Fish.
Greta Van Fleet
I am just so impressed with this young man, I have to comment again , B.B. Jimi and Stevie would be proud.
tilliekay56 all 3 shaking there head smiling and slapping there knees
Great to hear a blues guitarist his own licks!
I love this dude, he's got whatever it is that makes some guitar players special. They said (this is true) Einstein was one of the best violinist of his generation. “Life without playing music is inconceivable for me ... I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music … I get most joy in life out of music.” He's got that real joy.
I love to see young people in the audience, rocking out to authentic music. There's hope after all!
This guy is amazing! BB and Freddie King would be proud!
Keep them blues alive Kingfish!
I Never Thought Id Ever Hear Anyone Play Blues As Good As Stevie Ray Vaughan, But This Young Man, Makes Me Believe I Have!!!
Avant de le voir et l'entendre, on pensait que des prodiges du blues comme lui n'existait plus. 16 ans sur cette vidéo à l'époque, maintenant il est juste hallucinant!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely love this man. His new album is awesome. What a joyous celebration
It's perfectly clear to me this young man didn't sit around feeling sorry for himself as a child and it's obvious what he studied that was certainly in a positive manner. OMG I wish I could play a tenth that good
What have i just witnessed? this young man is AMAZING Raw talent the real deal , the feel is off the chain. bloody hell !
My first time hearing this magnificent Brother !
23:11 You know it's good when you start clapping watching at home. By yourself.
I met Cristone when he was 10 at the Carlyle Library in Clarksdale MS while he was playing in the Delta Museum Band.
It was impressive, he switched between base, guitar & drums...as did the other kids.
He's in his mid 20's now and you can find his stuff all over the internet. Hes played with most of the current hot performers all over.
Your playing brings tears to my eyes and gives me chills.
The NEW KING of Blues !
Medicine for my ears!

Being old & no more ice cream, This the best kid on the block, Hope he live longer than Jimi H and all the others who died at 27 years, fame & fortune does not buy good health, Great stuff, keep it on.
His mom travels with him and takes good care of him..
He has been losing weight...
@@jesterpro Good, the good die young, unfortunately . Hopefully see u in 5 years then.
I must be wicked then?. 4.5 years to go.
Born in Jan 99, so he's only 16 here. Amazing.
His cover of Hey Joe is so natural. This kid is incredible. Great band ensemble too; must have been a real treat to be there. I love looking at the pure happiness he is bringing so obviously to some in the crowd; the look on their faces is pure joy.
Joe Bonamassa Pay attention!!! There is a new young gun in town!
FABULOSO!
Joe can never have the soul this kid has!
Watching this again in 2024! Kingfish was freaking 15 years old here!!! His baby lick thrown in @ 2:22 is Jimi, Ernie, Albert...all of them and Stevie. Tasty😊
the way he throws in chromatic movement to his solos is incredible.. what a fucking animal
God this guy is good when all this Covid crap is over I would go to America from England just to see him in the flesh play that guitar,god given talent you got there mate,
This kid is phenomenal! Truly an amazing talent.
wow..Kingfish you rocked it again on this one....AND that organ player was FIRE too. :) Luv it...
Awsome I love that the blues is still alive in this generation That's right Kingfish you are all that
Bloody hell... Must have sold something at the crossroads...
He was born only 10 miles from the crossroads!
LOL
One of the grates, performance in the American blues music .
AT FIFTEEN ABSOLUTELY A GENIUS AMONG US !!! Just tremendous and outstanding !!
He may only be a young teenager but his soul is as old as the Blues
Holy shit! I think this kid is the best I've ever seen.
The greatest blues prodigy since Stevie Ray Vaughn perhaps.
@@kramalerav it took four years to get a response 😆
I hear so many of my favorite players in his playing. Great to get such inspiration from a young guy that can sound like Freddy King and Bill Nelson in ten seconds.
GUAUUUU MANNN GREAT FREDDIE KING RETURN !!!! FROM ARGENTINA 2020
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE BLUES AND HIS MUSIC 🎶!!!! HE'S ON HIS WAY!!!! HE'S GOING TO BE ONE OF OUR GREAT GREATS LIKE BB KING!!! I JUST FEEL IT!!!! YOU GO BOY GITRDUNNNNNN!!!! AND DON'T ANYONE DARE TWIST MY DAMN MEANING!!!!!
That was a stellar performance of Purple Rain ☔️
This is unreal. I'm a big critic of phrasing and this dude nailed it and went beyond
I feel like Kingfish is the best of all the newcomer blues players! For me, he is a young Freddie King whose skills are on that level!
Saw him live years ago. Lived blocks from the festival and music was loud so decided to just go at the spur of the moment to check it out. I remember the goosebumps and feeling in awe.
The best blues musician alive i swear!
Love his music!
This is the best line up Ive seen him with.Lovin that funky bass.The Portland crowd seem to be well up for it.....
With the loss of B.B King and Bobby Bluebland, this young man is going to fill those shoes :-)
Every now and then up pops a force of nature
its got to be said this Fellas great
Such a vast Blues vocabulary for such a youngman. how did he have time to soak up all this obvious knowledge, much less play like a seasoned pro . there are guitar players all over making a good living playing music that aren't as half as good as this kid. I am totally blown away by his guitar skills WOW!
HAWHONU He is from Clarksdale,MS in the Delta. Nothing to soak up or vocabulary to accumulate. He is
THE BLUES😬
HAWHONU Born in the Mississippi Delta where blues culture is so thick you can taste it in the air.
this is my neighbor's new favourite concert.
Nice, B.B.King can rest easy from his one fear of the Blues dying with this kid around.
That drumming i knew it from the beginning.. That's one of BB.King's drummers. Tony Coleman!
And I'm pretty sure that's Robert Cray's keyboard player.
I find myself applauding each time I watch this! This video will play at my New Year’s Eve party next weekend! Chris you are truly awesome..
Been diggin' blues since but this is something of a teenager . . . He's big and he's great . . . YEAH!
This young man kicks Some serious ass He will be a blue's legend
Fabulous. That band are all seasoned old pros and they're clearly enjoying every minute of playing with him.

He Rocks , and every band should have a organ player ! It makes the difference !
A Legend is born
Wow🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝GOD BLESS YOU🎸🎙🙏
Maaaaaaaaaan ! This kid is the truth ! His sound reminds me of Bernard Allison (Luther Allison's son). Can you imagine what he'll sound like at 30-35 ? He already sounds like a veteran . Damn !
BlackMusicGenre He will sound the same.

He was 15 years old here. Unreal.

Wow I am speechless, 🤩
The riffs just flow out of him and what is he, 17 or 18? Just unreal talent.
