Mix these sounds: A little B.B. King, a touch of the Rolling Stones, and maybe even a dash of Cream, and the end result will be a simmering hot, hard-rocking blues musician by the name of Tinsley Ellis. Born in Atlanta during the late ‘50s, Ellis knew his fate was sealed as a musician after B.B. King handed him a string from a guitar he was playing that broke during a set. He still has that string, and he’s still banging out his blend of bluesy rock that has taken him on tours all over the country, averaging 150 performances per year, with a stop in Buffalo every time. Come to Nietzsche’s for a fun night this Thursday (tonight, April 26), because this is the kind of blues that won’t get you down. Ann Philippone opens the show at 8pm
