662
Since the release of Kingfish, Ingram’s career has taken off like a soaring blues riff. The Clarksdale, MS, native hit the road for his first national tours, playing 75 dates in packed clubs and theatres, plus festival appearances and opening slots for Vampire Weekend, Jason Isbell and his mentor, Buddy Guy. Only the pandemic could stop him from scheduled tours to Europe and Australia.
Â
He received an avalanche of international press, with reviews and features in the UK (New Music Express, MOJO, Blues Matters, Blues & Rhythm, Blues In Britain), Germany (Blues News, Musikansich, Lust for Life), Benelux (Bluesmagazine.nl, Jazzism, Back To The Roots, Concert Monkey, Blues On Blues), Canada (CBC Radio, Gonzookanagan.com, Maple Blues, Sax & Violins), France (Soul Bag, Rolling Stone, Paris-Move, ABS, Bluesagain.com), Australia (Guitar, Guitar World, Rhythms, Australian Musician) Japan (Yahoo News, Blues & Soul) and more. Â
662 (the area code of his Mississippi Delta stomping grounds) is a powerful and personal album, a fiery coming-of-age record. The lyrics reflect Ingram’s newfound maturity and how your roots inspire where you’re heading. Musically, the record delivers a heaping helping of the deep, visceral Ingram guitar magic his fans love, fueling a combustible mix of molten blues rock, down home shuffles and soulful grooves.Â
