The Victoria Fine Arts Association (VFAA) and Victoria College’s Leo J. Welder Center for the Performing Arts are partnering to present Jimmie Vaughan & The Tilt-A-Whirl Band on Thursday, October 19, 2023 at the Leo J. Welder Center for the Performing Arts, 214 N. Main Street, downtown Victoria. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the concert starts at 7:30 p.m.
In true Texas fashion, four-time Grammy-winner Jimmie Vaughan has helped breathe new life into the music that has been his lifeline all these decades, becoming a hero to those who cherish America's real gift to musical history. "When I talk about country and blues, they're the same thing," Jimmie Vaughan says.
Vaughan is performing at Texas venues fresh from a West Coast tour with Eric Clapton and the Crossroads Guitar Festival. This year, Jimmy Vaughn celebrates his life in the blues and on the road with THE JIMMIE VAUGHAN STORY, a special limited-edition box set and book including over 200 photos covering his life and the breadth of his remarkable career. And yet Vaughan still feels like he is just getting started, devoted to making sure he is able to give back to the music that has given him so much.
The blues is in Jimmie Vaughan's blood, has been there since the start, and will stay there forever. Tickets for the Oct. 19th performance are $65 for premium seating and $50 for standard seats. The Welder Center Box Office is the only authorized ticket seller, with tickets available in-person at the box office or online here.
A limited number of student seats are available for $20 each, only at the box office. No refunds or exchanges are offered on tickets. Box office hours are Tuesday–Friday from 12:30-5:30 p.m.
