Stevie Ray Vaughan Statue reviews
7If you're a fan of SRV, you have to see this statue. Right on the shore line with a nice backdrop of the city. I loved the shadow that was part of the statue.
Unless you’re a die-hard fan it’s not worth going out of your way to view. Area could do with some cleaning and also had a house-less person’s tent near it.
The Stevie Ray Vaughan Memorial statue is located on the shores of Lady Bird Lake a few hundred feet west of the S 1st Street bridge.
You'll see is a bronze statue of the late Texas guitarist in a standing, reflective pose. He is in hat, poncho and boots, balancing his guitar with left hand on the ground. Check out the bronze shadow behind him depicting him in a different pose, playing his guitar.
This is a fine monument well placed on the lake shore with the Austin skyline in the background, something nice to find if you are a fan of Stevie Ray Vaughan's music or simply passing by while taking in the lakeside trail.
SRV, I saw you in 1987 with Gregg Allman opening for you at Pine Knob in Michigan. I was so close I could see the settings on your amps. You changed how I thought of music during that show and have had a profound effect on me ever since. You are missed. Thank you.
I have enjoyed and continue to enjoy his music, and I felt something very special visiting his statue.
If you go through Austin, there is no excuse. You have to visit Stevie.
It would be nice if you get lucky and arrive just as the shadow lines up with the sculpture.
As a huge SRV fan this statue is an important tribute to one of the best Texas blues guitarists. While approaching the statue I was playing “Texas Flood” and it started to rain. How fitting. We miss you Stevie.
