Tonight’s mystery artist was hired by The Rolling Stones to play at a private party. Can you guess who it was??

It is not unusual for this star and the Rolling Stones were not the first musicians to single him out. Story tells back 1982 he was seen as an unknown at a Jazz Festival by David Bowie who immediately  asked Stevie Ray Vaughn to record with him. It is Stevie’s lead guitar brilliance you hear on Bowie’s ‘Let’s Dance’. Musician John Mayer is such a fan he has a tattoo of Stevie on his arm.  Tragically, after finally kicking his drug and alcohol addiction Stevie was killed in a helicopter accident just shy of his 36th birthday.

And here is our entertainers entertainer with tonight’s featured song. A song he dedicates to his guitar.
