**Buddy Guy recently performed at our Blues Jazz Scenes 2024 Festival with special
guest Christone “Kingfish” Ingram. The one-time-only show took place in Amsterdam.**

Anyway, this concert was truly a historical music event. Be sure to check the Official
Buddy Guy Website & Kingfish Website for music, news, merch, and tickets for all
upcoming tour dates.

Legendary. One word that perfectly describes this show. One certified blues legend
sharing the stage with an up-and-coming blues legend. Two undeniably hard-hitting
blues guitarists complimenting each other’s abilities. This was a perfect evening
in a beautiful setting. The venue is pristine.

Guy and his band started off the set with “Damn Right, I’ve Got the Blues,” “I’m
Your Hoochie Coochie Man,” and a cover of B.B. King’s “Downhearted.” Other songs
that stood out in the set included covers of Willie Dixon’s “I Just Want to Make
Love to You,” Al Green’s “Take Me to the River,” John Lee Hooker’s “Boom Boom,” 
and Cream’s “Strange Brew.” All of these songs were performed with Guy’s unique 
guitar interpretations. His backup band was phenomenal as well.

Guy played top notch blues music and told short stories in between songs for his
entire set. He is 87 + years old, but is full of energy and still kicked ass. Not
only is he a living legend—he is also a wonderful storyteller, and hilarious! He
did not hesitant to roast the crowd and even poke fun at himself at times. He literally
told a loud audience member to “shut the fuck up” while he was reminiscing about
his career and telling stories from his impoverished childhood. Of course, he said
that in a loving and somewhat joking manner.

Guy has had an astounding career and seemed to be grateful for the fans and his 
musical peers. He is careful not to forget his late contemporaries who inspired 
him along the way. “I went to sleep yesterday and woke up and all the great blues
players are no longer with us. Muddy, Wolf, B.B.—they’re all gone. Before they passed
away, when they were in their prime, we used to have a drink and a laugh and talk
about how when one of us is gone, the others have to keep it going. I’m trying to
do something to keep this music that I love so well alive.”

Both Guy and Ingram performed flawlessly and held most of the audience’s attention.
Some of the audience members were up on their feet and some were just rocking out
in their seat. A few of the staff members were also jamming along and feeling the
positive energy. The music was hypnotizing and basically compelled one to rock.

Christone “Kingfish” Ingram – If you’re unfamiliar with Christone “Kingfish” Ingram,
he is a Grammy-winning blues guitarist and singer from Clarksdale, Mississippi. 
Not only did he win a Grammy for “Best Contemporary Blues Album” in 2022, he was
also presented with five Blues Music Awards in May 2020. Rock on, brother!
