Last summer’s Tinsley Ellis show was cancelled by the San Diego County Department of Heath after officials found a bird that tested positive for the West Nile Virus. This year, we’re hoping nothing stands in the way of what may be the hardest rocking nights of the entire TGIF Jazz In The Park as Ellis drowns Calavera Hills Park in his own brand of southern fried blues, tonight August 14, 2009 from 6-8 PM.
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.
