Dorothy “Miss Blues” Ellis is not only musically accomplished, but academically — having earned a Master’s Degree in Psychology from the University of Central Oklahoma — but it’s her passion for singing the blues that we celebrate her for. Whether you know her from her many blues festivals or her induction into the Oklahoma Blues Hall of Fame, Miss Blues’ signature song style is easily recognized by her fans as the “Texas Shout”.
