Ellis, known for decades as one of the greatest electric blues-rock guitarists of his generation, is now also recognized as one of the best contemporary acoustic blues guitarists, songwriters, and performers in the world.
Tinsley Ellis’s style of blues is edgy, gritty, foot-stompin' southern blues.
