CRITIC’S PICK: Tinsley Ellis, City Winery—Atlanta’s favorite blues rocker unplugged for the first time in his career for 2024s Naked Truth and supporting solo shows. He has crisscrossed the country with just two guitars and a van with thousands of miles now on it and he’s still at it a year later. On this homecoming gig he promises to pull out some obscurities from a catalog of a few dozen albums released over the past forty years, plus some seldom played covers. He’s accumulated plenty of stories during that time, making his between song patter as entertaining as the music. Let’s welcome him back. — Hal Horowitz
From the venue:
Tinsley Ellis, Atlanta blues guitarist and singer, unveils his first solo acoustic album, Naked Truth, marking both a departure and a return to his roots. Over four decades of recording and global touring, Ellis has delivered electric blues-rock to growing audiences worldwide. Naked Truth delves into folk blues traditions, channeling influences from Muddy Waters to Leo Kottke. For Ellis, this album fulfills a long-standing desire, featuring his famed guitar skills on a mix of originals and covers, including a poignant rendition of Son House’s Death Letter Blues. With over 100 solo performances in the past year, often alongside label-mate Marcia Ball, Ellis continues to captivate fans with his intimate, acoustic performances.Tinsley Ellis | 01/17/2025 8:00 PM
