I saw him in SF a while ago. He played a phenomenal set, his Mom at the side of the stage the whole show. Bringing him towels and water during the set. After the show, I messaged him on IG and said how it was such a great show and I’m thankful he’s playing some blues in today’s day. He messaged me back.. asked if I was still around. He invited me back stage to meet him and the band, and his Mom. All amazingly kind people just thankful I was there. I’ll never forget that. I love seeing this man succeed. Also Rest In Peace to his Mom..
I met him practicing his guitar sitting on the back of a pickup truck at the sunflower blues festival in clarksdale, mississippi. must have been 2012 or 2013. the lady with him (must have been his mom) was telling me he was going to be big one day...
When a buddy and I saw Kingfish in a small club in our town, my friend said of the bass player, “He’s standing there cooler than the other side of the pillow.” Kingfish is amazing and his band is tight. They sound amazing.
Somebody once told me Kingfish is just a shredder. 1. that person is an idiot. 2. How can you possibly use the word shredder in a negative way when talking about an awesome guitar player? 3. Kingfish is so much more than "just a shredder" but damn he can shred.
I see kingfish and the band in London a few years back for the first time and was completely blown away. What a talent and such a kind caring person aswell. He stayed behind after the gig and met some fans and had a chat. Amazing experience would recommend to anyone who is into their blues to go and see him
