Best Jazz & Blues in Wilmington

Christone Kingfish Ingram at The Queen

Christone Kingfish Ingram

Mississippi-born Christone 'Kingfish' Ingram first learned about the blues at the age of five and was playing professionally by the time he was a teenager. This might sound like the story of an older blues musician, but, at the time of writing, this highly acclaimed bluesman is still under 30! With his 2022 album '662' being a Grammy-winner, the traditional blues prodigy is on the road once again, bringing his Muddy Waters-inspired talents to a stage near you.

Robert Cray Band at Grand Opera House

In 2017 he released a new record with Hi Rhythm.
