Christone 'Kingfish' Ingram plays The RITZ Ybor on 7th Avenue with his The Hard Road Tour.
Christone 'Kingfish' Ingram plays The Ritz Ybor on Thursday, November 5, as part of his The Hard Road Tour. He's a blues guitarist who's built a name on playing with a lot of fire and a heavy hand on the strings, and this is a headlining date in Tampa, so he'll have the full stage to himself.
If you've followed him for a while, you know the sound: deep, saturated blues guitar that doesn't hold back, usually backed by a tight band that lets him stretch out on the solos. The The Hard Road Tour is the current run he's taking across the country, and this stop brings that tour to Ybor. It's a night of jazz and blues, with Kingfish taking the lead on guitar throughout.
For those who haven't caught him live, he's known for a style that leans into the heavier side of the blues—lots of sustain and a strong, driving feel. It's the kind of show where the guitar does most of the talking, and he's not shy about taking his time with the solos. If you're into blues that keeps the energy up rather than just sitting back, this is exactly that.

Doors open at 7 PM and the show starts at 8 PM, so you've got an hour to get settled before he takes the stage. The Ritz Ybor is at 1503 E 7th Ave in Tampa, right in the heart of Ybor City. It's a Thursday night, so you'll be in the neighborhood for a weekday show rather than a weekend crowd.
