 Executive Producer: Jerry FlanaganStephen Ray Vaughan was an American musician, best known as the guitarist and front man of the blues rock trio Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble. Although his mainstream career spanned only seven years, he is considered one of the most influential musicians in the history of blues rock music, and one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Vaughan's deep admiration for his older brother Jimmie sparked his passion for music, leading him to experiment with various instruments before committing to the guitar. Vaughan's grandfather, Thomas Lee Vaughan, married Laura Belle LaRue and moved to Rockwall County, Texas, where they lived by sharecropping. Sharecropping is an agricultural system where individuals cultivate land in exchange for a share of the harvested crops, which they use to support themselves and their families. Vaughan’s early years were marked by relentless dedication to music, honing his skills through bands like Southern Distributor and Krackerjack. His dedication to learning by ear and following blues and rock legends shaped his early style. Despite challenges at home and low-wage jobs, his relentless pursuit of music led him to join bands and perform professionally, ultimately cementing his commitment to a career in blues rock music.Although dissuaded from a professional blues career, Vaughan’s commitment remained steadfast, his technical virtuosity consistently impressing peers, exemplified by collaborations such as a remarkable jam session with ZZ Top that highlighted his advanced expertise. In February 1970, Vaughan joined a band called Liberation, which was a nine-piece group with a horn section. Having spent the past month briefly playing bass with his bother Jimmie Vaughan in Texas Storm. Impressed by Vaughan's guitar playing, Scott Phares, the Texas Storm group's original guitarist, switched to the bass guitar to allow Stevie to play lead guitar. In mid-1970, they performed at the Adolphus Hotel in downtown Dallas, Tezas where ZZ Top asked them to perform. During Liberation's break, Stevie jammed with ZZ Top on the Nightcaps song "Thunderbird". Scott Phares later described the performance as, "they tore the house down; it was awesome. It was one of those magical evenings. Stevie fit in like a glove on a hand". Despite struggles in school, Stevie's passion for music took precedence, shaping his path toward a legendary career.Stevie's father, Jimmie Lee Vaughan, was born in 1921. Known as Big Jim, he dropped out of school at age sixteen and enlisted in the U.S. Navy during World War II. After his discharge from the military, he married Martha Jean Cook in 1950 during the Korean War. They had a son, Jimmie, in 1951. Stevie was born at Methodist Hospital, Dallas, Texas in 1954. Big Jim secured a job as an asbestos worker. The family moved frequently and lived in other states such as Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Oklahoma before ultimately moving to the Oak Cliff section of Dallas, Texas. A shy and insecure boy, Stevie was deeply affected by his childhood experiences. His father struggled with alcohol abuse and often terrorized the family and friends with his bad temper while drinking. In later years, Vaughan recalled that he had been a victim of his father's violence. His father died on August 27, 1986, four years before Stevie Ray Vaughan died on the same day.AD: The Arturo Fuente Hemingway Between The Lines cigar is a distinguished blend of vintage Dominican tobaccos wrapped in an African Cameroon and Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro barber-pole wrapper.

In 1972, Stevie 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 the group Double Trouble in 1978. The band established itself in the Austin music scene and soon became one of the most popular acts in Texas. They performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival in July 1982, where David Bowie saw Vaughan play.
