Christone “Kingfish” Ingram received some serious accolades for his Grammy-nominated 2019 Alligator Records debut.

In the wake of its release, he headlined two national tours and performed with friends including Vampire Weekend, Jason Isbell and Buddy Guy (with whom he appeared on Austin City Limits). He was interviewed by Sir Elton John on his Apple Music podcast, Rocket Hour, and recently released a duet with funkmeister Bootsy Collins.

Originally slated to come to the Kent Stage last year, Ingram will now play a rescheduled date on Aug. 11 at the venue.

Original tickets will be honored; remaining tickets for the Christone “Kingfish” Ingram concert at the Kent Stage go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday.
