An Acoustic Evening with blues legend Tinsley Ellis who brings raw guitar fire, soulful vocals & deep Southern roots to Caffè Lena!
About this Event

Hailed as “one of modern blues’ greatest performers” (Vintage Guitar) and “a legend of American blues music” (Premier Guitar), Tinsley Ellis brings his Naked Truth Tour to Caffè Lena for a powerful evening of raw, soul-stirring acoustic blues.

For over four decades, this Atlanta-born, internationally acclaimed blues guitarist and singer-songwriter has electrified audiences with his searing electric performances. Now, Ellis strips it all back—just his voice, two guitars, and a lifetime of stories told through song.

His first-ever solo acoustic album, Naked Truth, showcases Tinsley’s fingerpicked finesse and passionate slide work on a beloved 1969 Martin D-35 and a 1937 National Steel. The album pays tribute to blues legends like Son House, Skip James, and Muddy Waters, while delivering brand new originals filled with wit, grit, and vulnerability.

Expect the full Ellis experience—only quieter, closer, and more personal than ever before. This is blues with nothing to hide, and everything to say.
