A SET OF TEN 13” X 19” SIGNED LIMITED EDITION PRINTS OF STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN BY TRACY ANNE HART TAKEN BETWEEN 1983-1990

Photographer's notes: This Set consists of ten of my favorite images of SRV from the first show I photographed at Fitzgerald’s in Houston, TX on March 25, 1983 to the last full show on Auditorium Shores in Austin, TX on May 4, 1990. The latter was Vaughan’s last show in his adopted hometown.

I have attempted to represent some of the changes Stevie went through: the guitar slinging kid in the Chinese beer cap given to him by David Bowie in the first shot, the Clint Eastwood hatted tough guy in the next, on to his album release party for his first record, “Texas Flood” and last band appearance at a small club-Fitzgerald’s again- on June 20, 1983. He’s playing a Gibson ES 335 in that picture, not his usual weapon of choice in the mid-eighties. The next photos are two from his first “clean” show in Houston at Sam Houston Coliseum January 31, 1987. Many miles on the road and much of the high and hard life between those last two concerts to be sure! He came back looking and sounding even better than before. On to his show outside that old Wonder of the World, the much debated Houston Astrodome on a typical scorching hot Labor Day weekend, a show that produced several of my all-time favorite photographs ever, especially the close up of his hands. Then that one from the last Vaughan full show I was fortunately able to be at: Auditorium Shores in Austin at the Rites of Spring concert. The intersection of our artistic lives in ten prints.

In keeping with Stevie’s generosity to one of his favorite charities, a percentage of the sales will be donated to the Food Bank.
