DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) — A motorcycle parade honoring Stevie Ray Vaughan rolled through Dallas on Sunday. Then parade participants headed to a remembrance concert.
The Stevie Ray Vaughan Remembrance Ride and Concert honored the bluesman and raised money for the Stevie Ray Vaughan Memorial Scholarship Fund. The ride kicked off at 9 a.m. on North Lamar Street, while the concert at Cowboys Red River started at noon. An after-party at Diamond Jim's Saloon was scheduled for 6 to 10 p.m.
Among the acts listed to play the concert were the Levi Platero Band and Jimmy Wallace's Guitar Army "Oak Cliff Brigade," and Chris Babler Blues Band hosted the after-party.
General admission tickets were $25. The proceeds benefited the scholarship fund, which helps students interested in music pursue college educations, established by Stevie Ray Vaughan's mother, Martha, in 1993 at the Communities Foundation of Texas.
