CARMEL, Ind. – Touring after the release of an acclaimed career-spanning box set, guitarist Jimmie Vaughan will deliver his signature brand of the blues Sept. 9 at the Center for the Performing Arts.

 

Known for his chart-topping success with the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Grammy-winning collaborations with his late brother Stevie Ray Vaughan and now a thriving solo career, Vaughan is a leading voice of Texas blues on the national landscape. His 2019 album, Baby, Please Come Home, earned him another Grammy nomination and a Blues Foundation Award for Best Male Artist. In 2021, he released The Jimmie Vaughan Story, a limited-edition, five-disc box set and book with more than 200 photos covering his life and career.

 

Indianapolis-based singer-songwriter John Boyle will open the 8 p.m. show at the Center’s intimate 500-seat Tarkington theater. Influenced by Americana, 1960s blues-rock and the acoustic singer-songwriter tradition, the smoky-voiced Boyle tours nationally and has released two albums: Early Lights in 2018 and Prelude in 2020.

 

Tickets at $40 and $55 will go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, July 22, at the Palladium’s Fifth Third Bank Box Office, online at TheCenterPresents.org and by phone at (317) 843-3800. The event is part of the Katz, Sapper & Miller Pop/Rock Series and the 2022-2023 Center Presents Season in partnership with Allied Solutions.

 

The 2022-2023 Center Presents Season features more than 50 performances in a wide range of styles. Subscription packages offering ticket discounts and other benefits are still available at TheCenterPresents.org/SubscribeNow.
