Nellie Tiger Travis

Nellie "Tiger" Travis couldn’t be more destined to sing the blues. She was born deep in the delta of Mississippi in the early 60’s. As in most small towns, the church was a main focal point and Nellie grew up singing gospel music. Originally hailing from a small town in Mississippi, Travis now calls Chicago home. In her new surroundings, Nellie has chosen to demonstrate her ample vocal talents in the highly competitive Chicago blues scene, performing at venues such as Kingston Mines and Koko Taylor's Celebrity Room.
