Kenny Vaughan - Live
Born in Oklahoma, raised in Denver, Kenny Vaughan's earliest memories of music are his father's jazz record collection:
"My dad listened to Jimmy Smith, Mose Allison, Count Basie, Woody
Herman, Miles Davis, Tony Mottola, and used to take me to hear Johnny
Smith play at Shaner's in Denver. My neighbor, Charles Sawtelle,
listened to Flatt and Scruggs and played Salty Dog on his Martin guitar
for me. I knew then and there that I wanted to do that! I got my first
electric guitar when I was twelve. The first thing I played was ‘Folsom
Prison Blues’. My first band played Stones, surf, '60's garage punk,
and Memphis soul. I saw the Stones, Jimi Hendrix, The Cream, Howlin'
Wolf, Captain Beefheart, Buck Owens and The Buckaroos, The Dead, The
Doors, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, Johnny Winter, John Mayall, and Led
Zep's first stateside gig, all before I was sixteen!"More Bio
