Fan Casting Texas Flood: The Stevie Ray Vaughan Story

Dive into the electrifying, soulful journey of Stevie Ray Vaughan, a man who transformed the blues and left an indelible mark on music history. Texas Flood chronicles the meteoric rise of a Texas-born virtuoso who redefined what it meant to play the guitar. From the smoky dive bars of Austin to the biggest stages in the world, Stevie's story is one of passion, resilience, and redemption. Raised in Dallas, Stevie grew up under the shadow of his brother, Jimmie Vaughan, a blues prodigy in his own right. While their sibling bond fueled Stevie’s passion for music, it also ignited a competitive fire that would drive him to push the boundaries of his craft. We see Stevie’s fearless performances and his struggles with personal demons, including a battle with substance abuse that nearly ended his career. The film highlights the key moments that defined Stevie's legacy: the creation of Double Trouble, his breakthrough at the Montreux Jazz Festival, and the legendary albums that reignited the blues genre in the 1980s. His guitar solos weren’t just performances—they were cathartic confessions of a man pouring his heart into every note.
