Welcome to Biscuits and Jam from Southern Living. I'm Sid Evans, editor-in-chief of Southern Living magazine.

And my final guest this year is a 23-year-old blues musician from Clarksdale, Mississippi, who has already won a Grammy.

Chris Stone Kingfish Ingram started playing at a very young age, but it was a class at the Delta

Blues Museum Arts and Education program in Clarksdale that taught him the basic fundamentals of the

genre. He cut his teeth as a young musician playing clubs like Ground Zero Blues Club

and Reds Lounge when he was still in high school, accompanied by a very protective mom,

and he eventually went on to play for huge crowds at music festivals, at one point opening for

the Rolling Stones. Today on the show, Kingfish talks about his latest album,

662, the story of how he got his blues name, and what he learned being on the road with his

mentor, Buddy Guy. All that and more this week. I'm Biscuits and Jam.

Well, Kingfish, welcome to Biscuits and Jam.

Thank you, brother.

I'm happy to be here, most definitely.

So, listen, I've got to start out by asking you about your name, or maybe I should say your blues name.

You were born and raised as Chris Stone Ingram.

How did you come to be called Kingfish?

Well, I attended the Delta Blues Museum,

arts and education program back home in Clarksdale,

and two of my teachers, who are also nationally known bluesmen,

one of them, Bill Hallamette Perry,

used to give all the kids in the class different nicknames,

and we thought of them as stage names.
