International Touring Bluesman TINSLEY ELLIS to Play in Gainesville FL Sunday, Feb 22, 2015

Continuing a Decade* of Bringing THE BEST in the Blues
North Central Florida Blues Society Presents 



Sunday, February 22, 2015 
Doors open at 6pm.
“ non-stop gigging has sharpened his six-string to a razor's edge... his eloquence dazzles...he achieves pyrotechnics that rival Beck and Clapton." -- Rolling Stone

"Ellis unleashed a torrent of dazzling musicianship pitched somewhere between the exhilarating volatility of rock and roll and the melancholic passion of urban blues." -- Los Angeles Times

According to Billboard Magazine, “nobody has released more consistently excellent blues albums than Atlanta’s Tinsley Ellis. He sings like a man possessed and wields a mean lead guitar.” 

Tinsley Ellis has been one of the most exciting Blues artists over the past three decades and hasn’t played Gainesville in many years but is finally back in town!  Ellis is a hard-touring Bluesman that has honed his skills on the road, having played all 50 states.  

Most of you know the opening act, the Pete Karnes Blues Band.  Karnes played with the legendary John Lee Hooker for many years, among other Blues giants, and makes every show as exciting as theirs.
