Sprung from the same earth as so many of the Delta blues masters, Kingfish comes bursting out of Clarksdale, MS, just ten miles from the legendary crossroads of Highways 61 and 49. He is acutely aware of the musicians and the music that emerged from the Delta. "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."
Playing guitar since age 13, Kingfish has grown his audience organically. His mentor, Buddy Guy, has been publicly praising Kingfish and guests on the new album, as does Keb' Mo'. Funk musician Bootsy Collins began sharing Kingfish's YouTube videos - some with millions of views each - explaining, "this is how a child can influence others."
