Subscribe If You Dare @disasterstories It was a fateful day, August 27, 1990, when an unimaginable tragedy took place at East Troy, Wisconsin. The world was still buzzing with excitement and admiration after witnessing an electrifying concert at the Alpine Valley Festival that featured legendary performers such as Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, and the immensely talented Vaughan brothers, Jimmie and Stevie Ray. Stevie Ray Vaughan was no stranger to the music world. Born on October 3, 1954 in Dallas, Texas, he became inspired by music at an early age, especially by the guitar playing of his older brother Jimmie. Even before he reached puberty, Stevie had taught himself to play guitar. During his high school years, Vaughan stayed up at night playing guitar at clubs in Deep Ellum in Dallas. He recorded a song for Stax Records in 1969 with a local band. In his sophomore year, he enrolled in an experimental arts program at Southern Methodist University specifically for talented high school students in the field of art. However, the program could not motivate him to stay in school.
