He was great opening for SM band in Houston

In 15 years of reading you tube comments sections I don’t think I’ve ever seen *one single thread where eventually someone didn’t post some hate,……until just now. Literally not one single negative comment about this young man. What a beautiful thing.

It’s impossible to not like this guy! What a gem!

His personality is gold

Kingfish is amazing humble young man. His mama raised him right! .True story. . We're hanging out at 152 Beale Street waiting for an Experience Hendrix Show at the Orpeum Theater at the end of the street. We hear somebody say see ya later Fish. We get to the venue and we're taking pictures of these amazing buses painted with Jimi Hendrix album covers. Who walks up as asks if we want him to take a picture of all of us? Kingfish! We still have no idea who he is, but we know he's going to the show. We didn't know he was IN THE SHOW. at the end of the 3 hours of Jimi tunes Buddy Guy hands Kingfish a guitar and says "play it kid". Fish played Hey Joe to close the show. Oh...and he was 17 and still in High School!

He is an amazing musician and has a old school blues soul💙🤘🏻🎸🎤

Hes got that rare soul in his music that has been lacking from most modern artists for 30+ yrs...

Please take care of your health, King! We would love to experience your talent for a long long time.

Hope this brother go a long way. Blessings to Him

Such a humble king🎸Dude is one of the baddest on the planet.

His guitar is directly plugged into his modest heart!

I've been watching him a long time. Hes a total badass.

I fucking love Kingfish. This man is the real deal. It hardly gets more authentic than him. This is a truly inspiring interview with a human being who completely embodies the music he exudes. What a beautiful soul.

I'm fortunate enough to have met this young man personally. He is nothing but a young man and he is exactly what you see. He is an impressive young man. He is a product of his family's understanding of talent, careful effort, supportive, and faithful ethics. He is so humble. He is a young man of solid character and integrity, wise for his age. He was a good influence on this old man. No doubt. Young Kingfish was an example of how wrong my attitude was towards the younger generations. I am a more hopeful man after a honest experience with the teenage Kingfish. It was a couple minutes that felt like a half hour. I am a grateful man. Knowledge through Music. ✌️

I wish he would tour in Germany. I would instantly buy a ticket.

I live in the deep south of mexico, and i know kingfish.

His voice is golden

This guy is legit. I love the fact he has integrity and humility. He talks so much sense and his stratocaster is so beautiful. Really cool to see the blues being propagated. If you don't have his album, it's a killer. I've had it on heavy rotation for months on Spotify.

My favourite young guitarist in YT. So pure and simple yet fulfilled already. Love the recognition he is receiving.

He's talented, he's a gift to the Blues, ..very fluid guitar playing , soulful voice, very humble man..

This kid is the greatest thing and has the finest sound I've heard since Hendrix, Freddie King, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, rolled into one. Simply Magnificent!! dave w.

Just came across your interview now in late 2023. Thanks for posting. I can't get enough of Kingfish's music and his new LIVE IN LONDON album is playing non-stop on my turntable. What a pleasure his talent is to behold.

My favorite musician of all time. I have to see him live. Come to Orlando!

This gentleman is the real deal. God bless.

He was destined for success I’ve done shows with 2 of his uncles his family lineage is incredible!! I think Larry influenced him the most you can really hear it in his voice. And what a song writing machine. Sold my sole for rock n roll my all time favorite!!

Modest and kind, but he can play with the best of them - glad that his career’s taking off

...well, he can play like nobody's business.. But man, that cat has such a rich voice! Yasss baby!

Saw him open for Buddy Guy May1, 2019 in Nashville, & he blew me away.

Love this guy, he plays straight from the soul, and it doesnt seem like many others can do that nowadays. I can only wish him the best in the future.

He's got the goods... the hands and the voice. A gift to the blues world!
