Biography
Anthony Charles McPhee (born 23 March 1944) is an English guitarist and blues musician, who released most of his music as Tony McPhee, but some of it as T.S. McPhee. In his early years as a musician he was founder of the blues rock band, The Groundhogs. An early version of this band backed Champion Jack Dupree and John Lee Hooker on U.K. concerts in the mid-1960s.
The name T.S. McPhee was given to him by the producer Mike Vernon who suggested adding 'T.S.' to his name when McPhee released a duet single with Champion Jack Dupree in 1966 entitled, 'Get Your Head Happy!', in order to make it look more like an "official blues name". The initials T.S. stand for 'Tough Shit'.
