Alligator Records artists Tinsley Ellis and Marcia Ball will bring their “Acoustic Songs and Stories Tour” to Caffe Lena in Saratoga Springs on Sunday, April 2, 2023. Each artist will play a solo set, then they will share some songs together. The concert will start at 7pm.
For the concert, Ellis plans to perform his most popular songs, plus Delta blues covers and classics by artists like Bob Dylan and Leo Kottke on his guitars. Ball will play the piano accompanying her singing. She will present her original songs full of the characters and places that shaped her. They will weave the music together with their stories on stage and on the road.
Georgia troubadour Tinsley Ellis has been immersed in music his entire life. He acquired his first guitar at age seven, then he developed and sharpened his skills as he grew up. During his career, Ellis has toured the world non-stop for 35 years, which was interwove in his music. He recently released his 20th album Devil May Care in 2022 which received Blues Music Award nominations for Blues Rock Album Of The Year (for Devil May Care).
Blues artist Marcia Ball released her lastest album, Shine Bright, produced by Steve Berlin of Los Lobos in 2018. This album contains twelve songs (including nine originals), and gathered the most musically substantial, hopeful and uplifting set of songs of her five-decade career. Now, with Shine Bright, Ball’s aggressively hopeful songs are energized by Steve Berlin’s inventive and exciting production, creating electrifying music that is daring, inspired, poignant and timely.
