Tinsley Ellis
“Feral blues guitar…his eloquence dazzles…”
ROLLING STONE
“Ellis’ playing underscores the emotional depth in the lyrics. His meaty solos dig deep.”
AllMusic
"Incendiary...Scalding guitar and banshee solos. Ellis mixes soul and fire."
Premier Guitar
"Rugged, burning and riveting...Tinsley Ellis is a powerful and commanding presence, both on guitar and as a gruff, full-throated vocalist. He’s the hardest-working man in blues-rock...It’s impossible to not enjoy the ride."
Blues Music Magazine
Georgia troubadour Tinsley Ellis has been immersed in music his entire life. Born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1957 and raised in South Florida, he acquired his first guitar at age seven, inspired by watching The Beatles perform on The Ed Sullivan Show. Like many kids his age, Ellis discovered the blues through the back door of British Invasion bands like The Yardbirds, Cream and The Rolling Stones as well as Southern rockers like the Allman Brothers Band. Twenty albums later - on record labels such as Alligator and Capricorn (and millions of miles traveled) - Ellis has become an elder statesman of the Blues world.
