Jimmie Vaughan To Be Inducted into the 2011 Grand National Roadster Show Hall of Fame in Pomona, CA
The Grand National Roadster show in Pomona, California is getting down in it’s 62nd year and decided to pull Jimmie Vaughan into the occasion as an inductee into their Hall of Fame. Started in 1960, the Hall of Fame was established to give props to those that take the idea of hot rods and customization to a whole new level. Check out the image below from the 15th Anniversary Issue of The Rodder’s Journal and you’ll understand why Jimmie is more than deserving of being one of the few in the entire country to gain this kind of recognition. Congrats Jimmie!
You can check out more of Jimmie Vaughan’s customs and worthwhile proof for this recognition here.
The Grand National Roadster Show will go down January 28th – 30th in Pomona, California. This year’s show theme is an homage to the all-American trail better know as Route 66. GNRS is the longest running indoor car show in the nation but also claims fame to the Grand Daddy Drive-In and Cruise, an outdoor show around the fairplex to feature more than 700 cars and customs. Custom Meet and Greet autograph signings, historical creations for all your chopped-up viewing pleasure and enough to Doo-Wop, Rockabilly and authentic Blues music to make your momma proud will shape out the event. If you’re lucky enough to make it to this one, show up and show off the ride you got or or drop your jaw as you eye the ones you don’t. For those of you that can’t make it out, keep an out for later posts about the wrap-up of antics at this years Grand National Roadster Show.
Information about tickets, parking, and all the show’s features can be found here.
Jimmie’s newest album “Plays Blues, Ballads, and Favorites” is nominated for Best Traditional Blue Album at the 2011 Grammy Awards. The awards ceremony will air on CBS on February 13th, 2011 at 8:00 pm ET/PT.
This is what Margaret Moser over at The Austin Chronicle had to say about the new album:
“File Jimmie Vaughan in that prestigious group of musicians who don’t make bad albums, but that does him a disservice. Co-founding the Fabulous Thunderbirds set up the master guitarist for a Grammy-winning solo career that’s produced four rock-solid LPs, never hurried and never overdone. New offering Plays Blues, Ballads & Favorites leads with “The Pleasure’s All Mine,” grinning atop Vaughan’s signature guitar and the invitation to dance. Sole original “Comin’ & Goin’” needs no words, its sublime horn-driven shuffle suggesting the local six-stringer has a jazz disc in him, but it’s the understated choice of vintage covers that makes this eclectic album so friendly…. It’s the kiss after the dance, and truly, Jimmie, the pleasure’s all ours.” Read the full review here.
Get it Jimmie….Congratulations!
