A stalwart of the Bluegrass scene going on forty years, Tony Ellis got his start with the legendary Bill Monroe and His Blue Grass Boys back in the fifties. Fortunately, the years have been kind to Ellis: his voice still rings with warm country undertones and his tunes dance with bright-eyed bluegrass enthusiasm. But it's really the banjo playing that will capture your heart. Subtle and yet energetic, Ellis creates a polished sound that doesn't sacrifice the hard-edged energy that makes bluegrass so distinctive. Edgy and complex, these tunes bristle with hard-won, down-home joy.
