Singer songwriter drummer Doyle Bramhall is a mainstay of the Austin, TX music scene and is known for his days with the Vaughan Brothers. He is also frequently confused with his guitarist son Doyle Bramhall II of the Arc Angels. He was born Feb. 17, 1949 in Dallas. He grew up listening to the blues on the radio. In high school he joined The Chessmen which included Jimmie Vaughan on guitar. They opened for Jimi Hendrix in Dallas in 1970. They moved to Austin and formed Texas Storm. Jimmie's brother Stevie Ray Vaughan joined on bass. Jimmie left to join The Fabulous Thunderbirds and Bramhall & Stevie Ray started The Nightcrawlers. Eventually this led to Stevie Ray Vaughan signing with Columbia and the hit album Texas Flood. Bramhall contributed several songs to the album. He also worked on the Vaughan Brothers 1990 album Family Style. Bramhall played drums for Marcia Ball and played a lot of sessions in the Austin blues scene. He finally signed a recording contract with Antone's and his debut Bird Nest On The Ground was released in 1994. It featured his son Doyle Bramhall II on guitar along with the Vaughan Brothers. It's recommended to those who like the Austin blues rock sound. Doyle Bramhall continues to produce and record other artists like Marcia Ball & Jennifer Warnes. He records occasionally for Yep Roc and his latest CD Is It News was released in Sept. 2007. Here's the video for Change It by Doyle Bramhall featuring Doyle Bramhall II on guitar.
