By April Towery The Battalion W hen rhythm and blues musi cian Stevie Ray Vaughan gave his nephew a guitar, he un knowingly contributed to a new genera tion of Austin soul music. Breedlove guitarist Tyrone Vaughan- Fullerton, 23, said he felt pressure to live up to his father, Jimmie Vaughan, when he started playing with the band. “My mom was tired of the whole music scene and wanted it to be my decision,” he said. “I was lucky for hav ing that influence in my life. We’ve come so far that the pressure is starting to dissipate.” Vaughan-Fullerton is not the only Breedlove member with a musical bloodline. Drummer Jason White, 20, is the brother of Chris White, bassist for the Ian Moore Band, and Billy White, of the Billy White Trio. Rather than seeing the music as a competition between his brothers, White said he looks at it as musical col laboration. The three White brothers play a special “White Christmas” show of Led Zeppelin songs every year at Steamboat in Austin. Vaughan-Fullerton said family support has driven Breedlove in its musical career. “They’re such a strong backbone,” he said. “When you have your family be lieve in you, you can believe in yourself.” Another driving force behind Breedlove is the friendship among its members and the way they can feed off each other onstage and while recording. Vaughan-Fullerton said being close to one another has been an important ele ment to their performances. “Things are starting to really click,” he said. “We’re holding the crowd until the end of the show, letting it all hang out. We’re really together as a band, like a When & Where Breedlove is playing at The Dixie Theater tonight. brotherhood. We’re constantly being in spired by the other band members.” After Breedlove’s debut album, Reach Out, was released on the band’s label, Velvet Records, Austin Chronicle readers voted the group the Best New Band in a 1996 poll. The album was recorded in Willie Nelson’s old studio in Austin. White said the album has a soulful- jazzy-rock ’n’ roll sound. “It’s about the different aspects of life, very true, very honest,” White said. “We’re giving people new music to listen to. It’s not poppy or heavy, not the stuff on the radio.” Vaughan-Fullerton said Breedlove produces "feel-good” music. “It’s refreshing, like something you’ve heard somewhere, but you can’t pin point it,” he said. “There’s not a lot of ef fects. Dan (Dyer, vocalist) is like Van Morrison or Stevie Wonder and really has a soul about singing.” Breedlove once played a cover song by Van Morrison titled “Crazy Love.” The band thrives on originality, which Vaughan-Fullerton said will be projected to the audience tonight at the Dixie Theatre. “We’re definitely a sex-appeal band,” he said. “We get a little silly, very free, very loose.” Vaughan-Fullerton previously played with Dyer in the Austin band Rainshine, and began jamming with White and bassist Josh Dawkins in mid-1994. White and Dawkins had been performing Jimi Hendrix and Rolling Stones covers for the band Third Power. When Breedlove formed, Vaughan- Fullerton said the songs flowed easily. The band members are in their 20s — the oldest 25 and the youngest 20. Vaughan-Fullerton said they have heard little criticism regarding their age. “People are excited about it, that we can be this good this young,” he said. “In Fort Worth, we usually play to an older crowd 35 and up.” Breedlove has toured across Texas and will be touring Colorado for three weeks in January before making a trip to Nashville. White said the band members enjoy traveling and have high hopes for their future in music. “We’ll be recording an album next year, then we hope to tour nation wide,” he said. “We wanted our music to reach everybody — older and younger — and what was cool was that it did.” then n us of your ng days prior r abilities.
