Texas Blues W/ T-Bone Walker, Gatemouth Brown, Jimmie Vaughan & More

November 11/13

Crossroads kicks off the November Texas Blues feature with music from one of the pioneers of electric Texas blues, the legendary T-Bone Walker - and from one of the stars of the contemporary Austin blues scene, Jimmie Vaughan, with music he did with the Fabulous Thunderbirds, with Omar Kent Dykes, at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads festival, on an album just out from the Knickerbocker All-Stars celebrating Texas blues connections, and in a House of Blues Special in hour two of the show.

Also birthday salutes to Dave Alvin and Mose Allison, a concert preview, and new music from Kenny Neal.
