abbreviated as
was an
American musician,
best known
as the guitarist
and frontman
of the
blues rock trio
Stevie Ray Vaughan
and

Although his
mainstream career
spanned only
a Brief
seven years,
he is considered one
of the most
influential musicians
in the history of
blues music,
and one of the
greatest guitarists
of all time.
He was the
younger brother
of guitarist
Jimmie Vaughan.
Born and raised in Dallas,
Vaughan began
playing guitar at age seven,
initially inspired by
his brother Jimmie.
In 1972,
he dropped out
of high school
and moved to Austin,
where he began
to gain a following
after playing gigs
on the
local club circuit.
Vaughan
joined forces
with
Tommy Shannon
on bass
and
Chris Layton
on drums
as
Double Trouble
in 1978.
The band established itself
in the
Austin music scene
and soon became o
ne of the most popular acts
in Texas.
They performed at
the Montreux Jazz Festival
in July 1982,
where
David Bowie
saw
Vaughan play.
Bowie contacted him
for a studio gig
in December
where he played
blues guitar
on the album
Let's Dance
(1983).

heard a demo album
that Vaughan
and
Double Trouble
had recorded and
interested
major label Epic Records
in signing them
to a record deal
in March 1983.
Within months,
they achieved
mainstream success
for the critically acclaimed
debut album
Texas Flood.
With a series of
successful network
television appearances
and extensive concert tours,
Vaughan became
the leading figure
in the blues revival
of the 1980s.
Vaughan struggled with
alcoholism and drug addiction
for most of his life.
He also struggled with
the personal and
professional pressures
of fame
and his marriage to
Lenora "Lenny" Bailey.
He successfully completed
rehabilitation and began
touring again
with Double Trouble
in November 1986.
His fourth and final
studio album
In Step

most critically and
commercially

only number-one hit,
"Crossfire".
He became one
of the world's
most popular
blues performers,
and he headlined
Madison Square Garden
in 1989
and
the Beale Street
Music Festival
in 1990.
Vaughan and four others
were killed
in a helicopter crash
in East Troy, Wisconsin,
after performing with
Double Trouble
at Alpine
Valley Music Theatre.
An investigation
concluded that the cause
of the accident
was pilot error.

to achieve commercial success
with several posthumous releases
and has sold over

in the
United States alone.

among the top
twenty guitar players
