Tinsley wants to thank all of his fans that voted for Winning Hand as best Blues Rock Album in the 2018 BluesBlastMagazine.com Awards. Walter Trout won the category with an outstanding effort, proving that the Blues are alive and well.
Tinsley stopped over to see his friends at Chicago's very own WGN9 during his recent swing through town to promote his new Alligator Records release, Winning Hand. Check out this vid on the Midday Fix.
“ 'When they approached me, I was designated the rock guy of the tour.'
Tinsley Ellis at 56 was the youngest guy on the bill when he did the Blues at The Crossroads 2 tour in 2013 with James Cotton, Bob Margolin, Jody Williams, and Kim Wilson with The Fabulous thunderbirds backing. 'They were calling me Sonny Boy and Whipper Snapper and things like that. They really busted my balls, too, but I’m a better man for it.' "

"Throughout his career, Ellis has pursued tone and melody with Zen-like focus. 'I'm not a fast or flashy player,' he says. 'The people I hope to sound like are B.B. King on the blues side, and Billy Gibbons on the rock side - somewhere right in between there,' he relates. And throughout Winning Hand's 10 songs, he's in the zone." Read More

"Atlanta blues rocker Tinsley Ellis has a hot new album, Red Clay Soul, that debuted at No. 1 on Living Blues magazine’s radio chart in June...
Ellis is a longtime Atlanta fixture who played the blues before playing the blues was cool, and was among the first of the New Generation blues heroes that included Stevie Ray Vaughan, Robert Cray, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Duke Robillard and Ronnie Earl. Ellis founded The Heartfixers in 1981, and carried that band to regional fame before he broke away for a solo career and signed with Alligator Records, the groundbreaking blues record label. His new album was released on his own label, Heartfixer Music." Read More

A fine time was had by all.
