Gold Entertainment is thrilled to announce an unforgettable night of live blues music with Christone “Kingfish” Ingram and Samantha Fish, two of the genre’s brightest stars, taking the stage on March 28, 2025. The outdoor concert will showcase the incredible talent of these two renowned musicians and provide an exciting opportunity for fans to experience their electrifying performances under the Florida sky. 

Christone KINGFISH Ingram
GRAMMY-winning guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Christone “Kingfish” Ingram has quickly become the defining blues voice of his generation. From his hometown of Clarksdale, Mississippi to stages around the globe, the young blues star has already headlined multiple U.S. and European tours, and amazed fans in Australia, New Zealand, and India. Selected in summer 2022 to open for The Rolling Stones in London’s Hyde Park, Kingfish has also performed and toured with friends including Vampire Weekend, Jason Isbell, Steve Miller and Buddy Guy, a mentor of his, with whom he appeared on Austin City Limits.

Since he burst onto the scene in 2019, Ingram has been nominated for 10 Blues Music Awards and won them all. Rolling Stone declared, “Kingfish is one of the most exciting young guitarists in years, with a sound that encompasses B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix and Prince.” In September 2023, Kingfish released his jaw-dropping third album, Live In London. Recorded on June 6, 2023, in front of a sweaty, sold-out, standing-room-only crowd at the famous UK club, The Garage, Live In London is the guitar-driven live album Kingfish’s fans around the world have been clamoring for since they first watched him perform as a teenager on YouTube.
 
“Ingram plays guitar with dramatic, searing tone and sure-handed authority. And that’s just in the studio; he’s even scarier live.” –NPR Music

Samantha Fish
As an artist, singer, songwriter, and guitarist, Grammy-nominated Samantha Fish has earned numerous accolades for her unique self-expression, which she channels through explosive riffs, visceral rhythms, and spine-tingling vocals. Her talent has been recognized by none other than Eric Clapton, who invited her to perform at his Crossroads 2023 in Los Angeles. She also helped kick off Slash’s S.E.R.P.A.N.T. Tour, and is currently performing in the Hendrix Experience Tour.

“Making albums is one of my favorite things to do, it’s an opportunity to reinvent myself and my sound… but the stage is where we go to really bring the songs to life. I feel like I connect the most with my audience from the stage. There is something so special about that kind of energy. It’s raw, no frills… no big fixes or edits. It’s what you can do with the moment” …….. Samantha Fish

“She’s got this cool swagger and incredible blues tone and style. She’s a real natural, and somebody that sort of surprised me when I first heard her play. I was like, ‘Wow, this is great!” ——-Slash / Guitar World

Al Di Meola - Electric 2025 Land of the Midnight Sun Tour in Clearwater at Bilheimer Capitol Theatre January 16, 2025

The Nancy And David Bilheimer Capitol Theatre 

Presents

GRAMMY® Award-Winner

Al Di Meola


Thursday, January 16, 2025
Land of the Midnight Sun 2025 Tour
at
The Bilheimer Capitol Theatre
405 Cleveland Street, 
Clearwater, FL 33755
VIP EXPERIENCE AVAILABLE

GRAMMY® Award-Winning American jazz fusion and Latin jazz guitarist/composer, Al Di Meola returns to the Bilheimer Capitol Theatre with his band as part of the Land of the Midnight Sun Tour! A bona fide guitar hero and perennial poll-winner, Al Di Meola has been recognized internationally over the past four decades as a virtuoso of the highest order. A prolific composer and prodigious six-string talent, Di Meola has amassed over 20 albums as a leader while collaborating on a dozen or so others with the likes of the fusion supergroup Return To Forever (with Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke and Lenny White), the celebrated acoustic guitar trio featuring fellow accomplished artists John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucia, and the Rite of Strings trio with bassist Clarke and violinist Jean-Luc Ponty. While his dazzling technique on both acoustic and electric guitars has afforded him regal status among the hordes of fretboard aficionados who regularly flock to his concerts, the depth of Di Meola's writing along with the soulfulness and his inherent lyricism of his guitaristic expression have won him legions of fans worldwide beyond the guitar aficionado set.

The Nancy and David Bilheimer Capitol Theatre, located in downtown Clearwater’s Cleveland Street District, was constructed in 1921 and is one of Florida’s oldest operating theaters. In 2023, industry trade publication Pollstar named the Bilheimer Capitol Theatre the #1 club venue in Tampa, #1 in Florida, #1 in the United States and #1 in the world, of club venues with 800 seats or less. In 2013, the theater underwent a complete $10 million renovation and is the catalyst for downtown development. In 2019, Nancy and David Bilheimer donated $2.5 million to Ruth Eckerd hall as part of the theatre’s ongoing “Expanding the Experience” Capital campaign.  In recognition of the generous donation, the Capitol Theatre’s name was changed to the Nancy and David Bilheimer Capitol Theatre.

The Gainesville Big Band will bring Duke Ellington's groundbreaking suite, Black, Brown, and Beige, to life on Sunday, February 9, 2025 at Meizon Church in Gainesville, Florida.
