The venue holds approximately 1,000 fans, meaning every seat is close enough to feel the strings vibrate.
What separates Variety Playhouse from larger arenas and amphitheaters is its atmosphere.

Christone "Kingfish" Ingram Takes the Stage
Christone "Kingfish" Ingram is not simply the future of the blues — he is the present. Born in Clarksdale, Mississippi, the birthplace of the blues itself, Ingram picked up the guitar at age 11 and by his early twenties had already earned a Grammy Award, multiple Blues Music Awards, and the unanimous respect of legends including Buddy Guy, who publicly proclaimed Kingfish as the one to carry the torch of blues forward.
His debut album, Kingfish, released in 2019, announced him as a fully formed artist with a voice — both literal and musical — that cut through the noise of a crowded industry. His follow-up, 662, named for the Mississippi area code, doubled down on his willingness to blend traditional Delta blues with elements of soul, rock, and funk. The result is a sound that honors the past while refusing to be trapped by it.
Live, Ingram is a force of nature. His guitar work is fluid and ferocious, shifting from tender melodic passages to scorching high-register runs with the ease of someone who has been doing this his entire life — because he has. His vocals carry the emotional weight of the blues tradition with a conviction that connects with audiences of all ages and backgrounds. A Christone Ingram Atlanta show is not a nostalgia act. It is a living, breathing reminder of why the blues endures.
