Crossfire: A Tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughn – March 10th
Crossfire has thrilled Stevie Ray Vaughan fans from all over the country for 5 years and continues on a mission to seek out fans and bring them as much of the passion, soul, and spirit of the original act that they possibly can. Alan Iglesias has been playing guitar professionally since 1969. Feeling a strong affinity for Stevie's music and stage show, he felt that endeavoring to reproduce a Stevie Ray Vaughan concert as close as he possibly could just seemed to be the right thing to do. He considers it a privilege and an honor to have the opportunity to play such soulful music in the style of someone who played so much from his heart, and would love to think that some small way, Crossfire are helping to keep the legacy of Stevie Ray Vaughan and his music alive.
