Lil Ed
& The Blues Imperials
Friday, May 23, 2008
Lil Eds Web Site
Lil’ Ed Williams, although small in stature, is a true giant of the blues, and among the very last authentic West Side Chicago bluesmen. From smoking slide guitar boogies to raw-boned Chicago shuffles to the deepest slow blues, Lil’ Ed Williams is a master bluesman. A gifted guitarist and a remarkably gritty and soulful vocalist, Williams, along with his blistering, road-tested band, The Blues Imperials, has been tearing up clubs and festival stages all over the world for almost 25 years. Not since the heyday of Hound Dog Taylor and The HouseRockers has a Chicago blues band made such a consistently joyous, rollicking noise. Between the band’s wonderfully untamed music and Ed’s flying leaps, his back-bending, his toe-walking through the audience and his sliding across the stage on his knees, it’s no wonder The Boston Globe called Lil’ Ed and The Blues Imperials “the world’s #1 houserocking band.”

Tinsley Ellis

Tinsleys' Web Site
Guitarist/vocalist/songwriter
Tinsley Ellis ranks among the top blues/rock guitarists working today. Ellis
sings and plays with the energy and soul of all the great Southern musicians who
have come before him. He attacks his music with rock power and blues feeling, in
the same tradition as Deep South musical heroes Duane Allman, Freddie King and
Warren Haynes. Atlanta Magazine
declared Ellis “the most significant blues artist to emerge from Atlanta since
Blind Willie McTell.” Since first hitting the national scene with his
Alligator Records debut GEORGIA BLUE in 1988, Ellis has toured non-stop and
continued to release one critically acclaimed album after another. Tinsley’s
hometown paper, The Atlanta
Journal Constitution,
calls his music, “a potent, amazing trip through electric blues-rock.” Rolling
Stone said,
“feral blues guitar…non-stop gigging has sharpened his six-string to a
razor’s edge…his eloquence dazzles…he achieves pyrotechnics that rival
Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton.”
