Come see Miss Blues:
Miss Blues is a living blues legend. This lady CAN SING!!! Songbirds have nothing on her.
If you like your blues with attitude and spice, you'll love Miss Blues. And she can cook!!!
Miss Blues and her blues band have played festivals all over the United States and the world! She was inducted into the Oklahoma Blues Hall of Fame in 2004! In 2007, Miss Blues was voted the Best Blues Band in Oklahoma and received a "Woody" award from the Oklahoma Gazette which called her "the state's first lady of the blues - all soul and she lets you know it! Belting out songs in a signature way that her many admirers have come to call the Texas Shout!" Miss Blues has been featured (cover story) in both the February 2000 and October 2007 issues of Southwest Blues Magazine. She was also a featured artist at the 2007 Arkansas Heritage and Blues Festival (formerly known as the King Biscuit Blues Festival), in addition to headlining many other blues venues and festivals all over the United States and Europe. One blues reporter recently said:
"[Miss Blues] was probably the most sincerely performed set of the long weekend that I
witnessed. It was drenched in authenticity and performed with a passion that I haven’t
seen in years! These are the moments I cherish most about the King Biscuit."
Dave Warford, Professional Freelance Music Reporter,

For Dorothy Choncie Ellis, the road from Direct, Texas has been a long glorious trip. Orphaned at an early age, self determination and love for life and people has led her into many adventures of living. Think for a minute about the young girl from Direct, whose Mama carry instilled in her a love and respect for books and learning. From the cotton fields to servant quarters, Dorothy pursued education, earning a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Central Oklahoma. Her journey has brought her close to a Doctorate, but she has other passions as well. All along the way, Dorothy belted out Big-Time Blues, and self-published “For Blacks Only†a collection of memories in 1979. Dorothy became “Miss Blues†when ‘You is one black rat†was blaring on the wind up Victrola. She has performed with Richard “Groove†Holmes, Little Joe Blue, Drink Small and others; she opened for Bo Diddley, has appeared at many blues festivals including Arcadia Blues Festival, Pinedale Blues Festival, Southwest Blues Heritage Fest, Dusk til Dawn Blues Festival and more. Miss Blues, Dorothy Ellis, has the soul of the blues inside her.
So welcome ... step inside the blues .... come hear what the blues really are: Miss Blues
