Tinsley Ellis
(1957, Atlanta, Georgia) is an American blues musician who spent his early years in Florida. Inspired by his idol, B. B. King, he was determined to become a blues guitarist. In 1975 he returned to Atlanta and joined his first band, The Heartfixers, with the singer and harmonica player, Chicago Bob Nelson. [1] The group recorded three albums for the small Landslide record label, one with the singer, Nappy Brown before breaking up in 1988. Ellis graduated from Emory University in 1979 with a degree in history. Following on from the Heartfixers Ellis formed a new band and signed a recording contract with Alligator Records.
His peers include Derek Trucks, Widespread Panic, and the Allman Brothers. His song "Hell or High Water" was given away as a 'discovery download' on iTunes.
