Texas born Ted Vaughn, heads up the band on blues harp and vocals. Ted was heavily influenced by the local music scene in his hometown of Dallas that included musicians like Bugs Henderson, Anson Funderburgh, Sam Myers and Stevie Ray Vaughan. He studied music from the age of twelve and played trumpet in various bands including a stint in the Navy Jazz Band. As the son of a funeral director and grandson of a Baptist preacher, he honed his vocal skills in church choirs across the region. Although the blues is in his blood, he is also a fan of country music, especially artists like Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard and the Texas swing of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys. Ted incorporates elements of those musical styles into his songwriting and playing. He became friends with and was mentored by the late Texas blues icon Willie Willis , a member of the legendary Freddie Kings touring band. After leaving Texas and traveling the country , he garnered tips from some of the worlds top blues harp players including Sam Myers, James Harman and Charlie Musslewhite.
