Cincinnati, OH (4/8/25) – Grammy-winning guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Christone “Kingfish” Ingram is back on the road with The Hard Road World Tour. Fresh off a triumphant run with the Experience Hendrix Tour, Kingfish is set to bring his incendiary, impassioned performances to fans at Taft Theatre on October 8.

Tickets will go on sale to the public beginning at 10am on Friday, April 11 at Ticketmaster.com. Tickets will also be available at The Taft Theatre box office during normal business hours.

This highly anticipated international headline tour kicks off on April 11 at the Tampa Bay Blues Festival and will travel across Australia, North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom, running through Thanksgiving. Fans can expect a celebration of Kingfish’s journey from local juke joints and blues clubs to international stages.

“I’m really looking forward to The Hard Road Tour,” said Ingram. “I’m grateful for the chance to make and play the music I love. These shows will be a celebration of both the long, sometimes tough journey I’ve taken in this industry and the amazing fans who’ve supported me every step of the way. I’ve got new songs to share and some great friends joining me. I’m truly ready to party with y’all.

A limited number of VIP packages will also be available, offering an exclusive pre-show experience with Kingfish, including a signed collectible. For complete details, visit www.callmekingfish.com

Fans attending The Hard Road World Tour will be among the first to hear tracks from Kingfish’s upcoming album – his first since his Grammy Award-winning 662. The new record, due out later this year, marks the debut release from Red Zero Records, the label co-founded by Kingfish and his longtime manager Ric Whitney.

ABOUT CHRISTONE “KINGFISH” INGRAM

“Ingram plays guitar with dramatic, searing tone and sure-handed authority. And that’s just in the studio; he’s even scarier live.” –NPR Music

“Kingfish is one of the most exciting young guitarists in years, with a sound that encompasses B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix and Prince.” –Rolling Stone

In just six years since his GRAMMY-nominated debut album Kingfish, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram has become a global blues sensation. Born and raised in Clarksdale, Mississippi — a town steeped in blues history — Ingram grew up just 10 miles from the legendary crossroads of Highways 61 and 49. Surrounded by a family of singers and musicians, his passion for music ignited at a young age. Starting with drums and bass, he soon found his true voice on the guitar.

Through classes at the Delta Blues Museum, Kingfish not only learned the rich history of the blues, but also honed his technical skills. Mentored by Richard “Daddy Rich” Crisman and the late Bill “Howl-N-Madd” Perry, he developed his own distinctive sound, blending influences from Robert Johnson, Lightnin’ Hopkins, B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Jimi Hendrix, and Prince. Perry also gave him the now-iconic “Kingfish” moniker. His talent quickly took him from local stages at Clarksdale’s Ground Zero Blues Club and Red’s Lounge to venues across the U.S. and abroad — all while still in high school.

Kingfish’s rise to fame was fueled by his electrifying live performances and viral videos, which amassed millions of views even before his debut album. One of several breakout moments came when his performance videos caught the eye of the Luke Cage producers, leading to a guest spot in the show and a subsequent NPR Tiny Desk Concert appearance alongside rap legend Rakim. After his debut album Kingfish topped the Billboard Blues Chart for 91 weeks and earned a GRAMMY nomination, Ingram followed up with his 2021 release 662, which also debuted at #1. The album earned him his first GRAMMY for Best Contemporary Blues Album and was hailed by NPR as “astounding.” Since then, Kingfish has been honored with 12 Blues Music Awards and 11 Living Blues Awards.

In 2023, Kingfish continued to solidify his place in contemporary blues with the release of Live in London. Capturing the raw energy and passion of his live shows, the album showcases his powerful guitar work, soul-stirring vocals, and the connection he forges with his audience. Praised for its authenticity and emotional depth, Live in London stands as a testament to Kingfish’s growing influence and his ability to bring modern blues to a global audience.

Kingfish’s natural talent continues to flourish through his relentless touring, writing, and recording. With his jaw-dropping guitar prowess and captivating vocals, he delivers contemporary blues that resonate with audiences worldwide. Whether headlining his own tours or sharing stages with legends like Buddy Guy, Jason Isbell, and The Rolling Stones, Kingfish remains a dynamic force in modern blues — a young artist who respects the past while blazing his own trail.

Joe Bonamassa Announces Fall 2025 U.S. Tour

Blues-Rock Icon Returns to Theaters Nationwide This November

With New Music and Fan Favorites

Public On Sale Starts Friday at 10 am Local Time at jbonamassa.com

Blues-rock titan Joe Bonamassa has announced his highly anticipated Fall 2025 U.S. Tour, bringing his electrifying live show to theaters and performing arts centers across North America with one stop in Canada. Kicking off November 3rd in Columbus, OH, the 21-date run includes stops in Detroit, Toronto, Austin, New Orleans, Savannah, and more, before wrapping Saturday, December 6th at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, FL.

The Fall Tour announcement arrives on the heels of a prolific season for Bonamassa. Last week, Bonamassa announced his brand-new studio album Breakthrough which is now available for Pre-order and will drop on July 18th via his J&R Adventures label. The title track, a soulful, hard-hitting anthem about letting go, moving forward, and finding your fire again, is available today on all streaming platforms. He has previously released two powerful new singles— “Still Walking With Me” and “Shake This Ground”—offering an exciting preview of his next studio album. Co-written with Tom Hambridge and produced by longtime collaborator Kevin Shirley, the songs reflect a genre-blending musical journey of Bonamassa’s persona.

Bonamassa stays true to the moniker “always on the road,” with recently kicking off his Spring Tour across Europe which is garnering high praise from fans and critics alike. In June, Bonamassa will reunite with Glenn Hughes, Jason Bonham, and Derek Sherinian for a special European tour with his powerhouse supergroup Black Country Communion which will headline shows in 10 select cities across the continent.

While overseas for his EU Summer Tour, Bonamassa will also perform an exclusive three-night run in Cork, Ireland, paying tribute to the legendary Rory Gallagher. The special engagement—organized by the iconic Aiken Promotions in collaboration with Gallagher’s family—marks the 30th anniversary of the beloved guitarist’s passing.

Looking ahead, Bonamassa’s 2025 U.S. Summer Tour will feature a limited run of outdoor performances at iconic venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre, the Greek Theatre, and Vina Robles Amphitheatre and many other iconic venues. Come September, the hardest-working man in show business returns for a handful of special stateside shows including a Bourbon & Beyond Festival set before setting sail on the sold-out, inaugural Keeping the Blues Alive at Sea ALASKA cruise. The star-studded lineup for this unforgettable voyage includes Marcus King, Little Feat, Marc Broussard, The Record Company, The Heavy Heavy, Sue Foley, and many more.

Even with a packed performance calendar, Bonamassa continues to make time for his many philanthropic and entrepreneurial pursuits. His Keeping the Blues Alive Foundation has raised more than $2.8 million to date, funding music education programs and providing critical relief to musicians in need. With over 50 albums, a relentless touring schedule, and an unmatched work ethic, Bonamassa shows no signs of slowing down. This Fall’s U.S. tour promises to be another powerhouse run, showcasing new material alongside fan favorites in venues known for their acoustics, intimacy, and history.

Following his historic three-night stand at New York City’s Bowery Ballroom earlier this year — hailed by BILLBOARD as “a religious experience” and moving NPR to rave “Paul McCartney has so much swag it’s ridiculous” — Paul McCartney and his acclaimed Got Back Tour will make their wildly anticipated return to North America this fall.

Got Back’s 2025 run of 19 newly announced dates marks Paul’s first extensive series of shows across the US and Canada since 2022. The tour kicks off September 29th with Paul’s Greater Palm Springs area live debut at Acrisure Arena and runs through to a November 24-25th finale at the United Center in Chicago. Got Back 2025 will feature Paul’s long-awaited return to Las Vegas, Denver, Des Moines, Minneapolis, Tulsa, New Orleans, Atlanta, Nashville, Columbus, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Montreal, and
Hamilton – plus a few cities that will be hosting their first-ever Paul McCartney concerts, Albuquerque and the aforementioned Greater Palm Springs area.

General on sale for these Got Back tour dates will begin July 18th at 10am local time. For further information, pre-sales etc., check paulmccartneygotback.com.

Irrefutably one of the most successful and influential singer-songwriters and performers of all time, McCartney’s concerts bring to life the most beloved catalogue in music. With songs like “Hey Jude,” “Live and Let Die,” “Band on the Run,” “Let It Be” and so many more, the Paul McCartney live experience is everything any music lover could ever want from a rock show and more: hours of the greatest moments from the last 60 years of music – dozens of songs from Paul’s solo, Wings and of course Beatles songbooks that have formed the soundtracks of our lives.

Paul McCartney launched his Got Back tour in 2022 with16 sold out shows across the US that led up to his history-making set at Glastonbury in June 2022. In 2023 Paul performed 18 shows as Got Back rocked through Australia, Mexico and Brazil. In 2024, Paul amazed capacity crowds at more than 20 dates spanning from South America and Mexico to the UK and Europe.

Paul McCartney’s live shows have continued to wow fans and inspire new levels of acclaim from critics the world over, with recent raves from the U.S. media including:

“Seeing Paul McCartney live remains a bit of a religious experience” — BILLBOARD

“Remarkable… This is the magic trick I was talking about, something The Beatles mastered before anyone else: to be pure showbiz and shockingly new at the same time, to know your biz completely and still, somehow, not be bored… To make genius look effortless, funny and fun… he played piano, bass, guitar and ukulele; he spun out indelible riffs without fuss or fanfare, and when he rolled up his sleeves and leaned into the innuendo of ‘Let Me Roll It,’ the years fell away and his hyper-competence turned into that swag, an unfaded allure.” — NPR

“These songs appear to have a restorative effect on McCartney, as if he draws from the same well of youthful energy and happy memories that all Beatle fans do upon hearing their music… No wonder he never stops. Neither have his fans, who seem to grow younger every year.” — PEOPLE

“It was among the most touchingly normal miracles I’ve ever experienced… ‘Some of us have to get some sleep, you know,’ McCartney said, after ‘Let It Be.’ But he didn’t look like an old man in need of sleep. He looked like Paul McCartney. Forever returning for another curtain call, another formal bow before the crowd, a man soaking in the energy emitted by fans like a cat in the sun.” — PITCHFORK

“Everybody in the room was having the night of our lives — but nobody was having more fun than Paul… all boyish energy and vigor… it was devastatingly powerful to hear Paul sing ‘Now and Then’ in the city where John wrote it, bringing it all back home. It was a moment that felt intensely private — as if we were eavesdropping on the two of them — yet massive… the whole show was a joyful explosion” — ROLLING STONE

“An icon among icons… a vision of graceful nonchalance” — USA TODAY

“As always, McCartney switched between bass, guitar and piano, and he was in strong voice, hitting essential high notes with ease… a once-in-a-lifetime moment” — VARIETY

Paul and his band have performed in an unparalleled range of venues and locations worldwide: From outside the Colosseum in Rome, Moscow’s Red Square, Buckingham Palace, The White House and a free show in Mexico for over 400,000 people to the last ever show at San Francisco’s Candlestick Park where The Beatles played their final concert in 1966, a 2016 week in the California desert that included two headline sets at the historic Desert Trip festival and a jam-packed club gig for a few hundred lucky fans at Pappy & Harriet’s Pioneertown Palace, two Glastonbury Festival headline slots, rocking the Bowery in New York City for a week of spontaneous club shows, and even one performance broadcast live into Space!

Featuring Paul’s longtime band – Paul “Wix” Wickens (keyboards), Brian Ray (bass/guitar), Rusty Anderson (guitar) and Abe Laboriel Jr (drums) – and constantly upgraded state of the art audio and video technology that ensures an unforgettable experience from every seat in the house, a Paul McCartney concert is never anything short of life-changing. The Got Back Tour also features the Hot City Horns — Mike Davis (trumpet), Kenji Fenton (saxes) and Paul Burton (trombone) — who first joined Paul in 2018 to perform at Grand Central Station ahead of embarking on the Freshen Up World Tour in the same year.
