Jimmie Vaughan
It will be a full blown Texas Blues party when guitar legend Jimmie Vaughan from Austin, Texas plays during the opening day of the Notodden Blues Festival 2025 on Thursday 31 July.
The 4-time Grammy-winning artist Jimmie Vaughan returns to Notodden after taking the audience by storm at the festival in 2022. That concert was Vaughan's first at Notodden since 2007.
"Jimmie Vaughan is a rarity on the concert stages in Norway. He is always high on the list of desired artists for the audience at Notodden. It is therefore a pleasure to be able to fulfill expectations, and to announce that we will not let 15 years pass between concerts this time," says artistic director of Notodden Blues Festival Jostein Forsberg.
Jimmie Vaughan started The Fabulous Thunderbirds with Kim Wilson, but left to build his own solo career. Vaughan is today perhaps the foremost exponent of Texas Blues, and comes to Notodden with his Tilt-A-Whirl Band, supplemented by the legendary brass band The Texas Horns. Notodden Blues Festival 2025 will be filled with star concerts from day one. It's just to be wildly happy!
