"In the last five years, no one has released more consistently excellent blues albums than Atlanta's Tinsley Ellis..." - Philip Van Vleck, Billboard.com

"the most significant blues artist to emerge from Atlanta since Blind Willie McTell." -Atlanta Magazine

Hard-rocking blues-soaked guitarist/vocalist/song-writer Tinsley Ellis sings and plays with the energy and soul of all the great Southern musicians who have come before him. Ellis attacks his music with rock power and blues feeling, following in the tradition of Deep South musical heroes Duane Allman, Freddie King, Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes. His live shows feature extended fretwork filled with melodic and rhythmic experimentation in the spirit of jam bands like his friends Widespread Panic and The Allman Brothers.
If you like the Blues of: Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Allman Brothers & Johnny Winter, you'll love Tinsley.
Ellis shows off his full range of explosive fretwork on his newest release, "Midnight Blue," which will be available for signing after the show.
