[Editor’s Note: This event has been cancelled due to a dead bird.] Get ready for what will probably be the most hard rocking night of the entire TGIF Jazz In The Park as Tinsley Ellis drowns Poinsettia Park in his own brand of southern fried blues, tonight July 25, 2008.
Tinsley Ellis sings and plays with the energy and soul of all the great Southern musicians who have come before him. Ellis attacks his music with rock power and blues feeling, following in the tradition of Deep South musical heroes Duane Allman, Freddie King, Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes. His live shows feature extended fretwork filled with melodic and rhythmic experimentation, in the spirit of jam bands like his friends Widespread Panic and The Allman Brothers. Atlanta Magazine declared Ellis “the most significant blues artist to emerge from Atlanta since Blind Willie McTell.”
We’re going to guess that means he’s amazing. Show starts at 6 PM at Poinsettia Park and remember to bring earplugs for the kids.
