Tinsley Ellis

CRITIC'S PICK:
Fri. Jan. 30
Tinsley Ellis, Eddie's Attic - Atlanta's blues-rocking icon, known throughout the world, brings the stripped-down, one-man acoustic show he started over two years ago back home with another go-round in this intimate venue. His new album, Labor of Love, the much-anticipated follow-up to Naked Truth (2024), is also released on this date. It continues his late-career, unplugged examination of Delta and Chicago blues delivered with Ellis' tough vocals and a retro guitar style that makes it seem like he was born and raised in the Mississippi Delta. No matter how often you've seen him, Ellis always captivates with his honesty, colorful stories of decades on the road and undying love for the blues. - Hal Horowitz
