Georgia troubadour Tinsley Ellis has been immersed in music his whole life. Born in Atlanta in 1957

and raised in southern Florida, he acquired his first guitar at age seven, inspired by seeing 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. 20 albums (and millions of

miles traveled) later on record labels such as Alligator and Capricorn, Ellis has become an elder

statesman of the blues world.

With his new project Tinsley Ellis – Acoustic Songs And Stories, Ellis performs many of his most

popular songs (plus delta blues and classics by artists like Gregg Allman, Bob Dylan, and Leo

Kottke) on his 1937 National Steel and 1969 Martin D-35. Ellis weaves the music with

exciting and sometimes spicy stories from over 40 years of a life spent on stages and in

motels and truck stops. Ellis shows no signs of slowing down and is headed your way with his

newest and perhaps most unique project.
