Music from High Cotton: Tinsley Ellis

Enjoy a special solo/acoustic performance by Southern blues-rock legend Tinsley Ellis. Ellis has been immersed in music his whole life. Born in Atlanta and raised in southern Florida, he acquired his first guitar at age seven, inspired by seeing The Beatles perform on The Ed Sullivan Show. He took to guitar instantly, developing and sharpening his skills as he grew up. He's been on the road for 40 years, performing all around the world. WUGA FM recorded this live performance from the stage of High Cotton Music Hall, in front of a sold out audience.

Tinsley Ellis appeared at High Cotton Music Hall on December 3, 2022.
