Performing to a jam-packed house, the Killtones and the Kerouacs, with special guests Tommy “Thunderin’ T” Smith and the Road Kings’ Jesse Dayton on guitars, rocked, rattled and rolled on two hours of Vaughan originals and adopted covers. The tribute, a last-minute event orga nized by Lippman Music owner Brian Lip- pman, was in memory of Vaughan and his music. Vaughan died last Monday in a tra gic helicopter crash, along with four others. The Dallas-born Vaughan traveled to Austin in the early seventies where he helped begin the “Austin blues syndicate,” a loose coalition of Texan blues performers that included, among others, his brother Jimmy and his band, the Fabulous Thun- derbirds, Omar and the Howlers and Lou Ann Barton (who Vaughan backed in his earlier groups, Triple Threat and the Co bras). After supporting David Bowie on Bo wie’s Last Dance album in 1983, Vaughan and his band Double Trouble (bassist Tommy Shannon and drummer Chris Lay- ton, and later keyboardist Reese Wynans) signed with Epic Records. The Epic part nership lasted until Vaughan’s death, yield ing five albums, including the classics’ Texas Flood, Can’t Stand The Weather and the latest In Step. In Step earned Vaughan and Double Trouble a Grammy for Best Contemporary Blues. Vaughan also received a Grammy for Best Traditional Blues Recording for his work on Blues Explosion. Vaughan recently completed a collaboration with brother Jimmy. The album, Family Style, is set for release on Sept. 25 on Epic. The fi nal project for Vaughan, and first effort with brother Jimmy, has re ceived high praise in early reviews and should arrive to heavy interest and extensive visibility. Wednesday night, the Killtones were first to perform after the weekly Lippman Jam, an open- stage ensemble for local musicians. Led by Had Binnion, who per formed a very impressive stint on guitar and vocals, the Killtones smoothly tapped into Vaughan’s emotional Texan blues style for a quick half-hour set. After the Killtones, Binnion stayed to jam with his group, the Kerouacs, joining guitarist Dru Wilson, bassist Brian Lippman and drummer Jon Hamilton. Wilson and Binnion paired with guests’ Dayton and Smith for a surpris ingly tight and full performance of Vaughan material. Smith, a long-time admirer and coverer of Vaughan, gave a smooth delivery on vocals, hyping the audience, many adorned in past tour shirts and other Vaughan regalia, including his trademark hat. The ensemble, arguably the best musi cians in Bryan-College Station, did an out standing job on “Love Struck Baby,” “Cold Shot,” “Testify,” “Pride and Joy” and other Double Trouble tunes. In light of the over night arrangement and one late-night prac tice session, the performance was excellent. Dru Wilson and Brian Lippman of the Kerouacs jam in a musical tribute to the late guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan held in Mama’s Photo by Scott D. Weaver Pizza. Local artists shared the stage to play classic Vaughan songs as a memorial. Ja\ The crowd was also primed and very ac tive, displaying an uncommon level of sup port for B-CS artists. The local collaboration for the Vaughan- tribute was probably the best performance by local musicians I’ve seen. Under the cir cumstances, including the show’s short pre paration, the Kerouacs teamed perfectly with Dayton and Smith to remind the B-CS audience to not only appreciate the works and music of a legend such as Stevie Ray Vaughan, but to also recognize the talent (and there are a few great musicians here) we have in our own backyard. In comparison to the late-night candle vigils of Austin, Houston and Dallas, Wednesday night’s tribute at Mama’s was more in line with how Stevie Ray Vaughan should be remembered — fans and f riend! partying with an old friend one last time Afterwards, Lippman recited the night' best eulogy (and there were many). "To night was great, and I really miss Stevie. He was one of the best. But I can’t be too upset ’cause I just know he’s up there now jam min’ with Jimi (Hendrix) right this minute That’s really what Stevie wanted.” By JC Underneai and makeup poratized mu tissue of San alternative ey San Franc: L.A.’s grand; gon” mental regurgitated of Poison, R San Franciso purgatorial i inga nepotist mental “sister Without th major-label a orch for m; ■ank and Hoi has cultivatec known thras groups.
