Biography

Formed in 1979 with drummer Chris Layton, Stevie Ray Vaughan fronted the band which he named Double Trouble. The band was joined in 1981 by bass player Tommy Shannon & 1985 by keyboardist Reese Wynans. Stevie Ray Vaughan tragically died on August 27, 1990 in a helicopter accident, having taken the seat that his brother Jimmie Vaughan would have been sitting in. He had a wide range of influences, most notably Albert King, Freddie King, Albert Collins, Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton & Jimi Hendrix. Only a handful of blues guitarists have had the same impact on the blues genre.
