Very well done statue of the great bluesman, SRV. I teared up when I saw the picks that had been placed in his hand. If you are a guitar player ot a fan of the blues, it is a must while in Austin. South of downtown across the river.

Stevie Ray statue is a nice tribute to a true GREAT bluesman on the lake- he was definitely an Austin icon. The last time I saw him play was at Aquafest at Auditorium shores. The memorial has a lot of meaning to me.

Not much to say. It is a statue. It is of SRV. It is nice. Don't be in that area alone. Nice hike/bike trail. Pretty good restroom nearby.

If you are a music fan, particularly of rock and roll and the blues, then it seems a stroll over to the Stevie Ray Vaughan statue is a must when in Austin. We enjoyed listening to the music of SRV on our drive into Austin from San Antonio which set the mood. After a morning at the state capitol, we strolled through downtown Austin, crossed the river, and found ourselves at the statue. A place for a few photographs and to remember this great guitarist.

One can stroll and enjoy his statue. His music, talent, and passion for performing and sharing his music personify Austin. Enjoy taking pics with you family and friends.

I'm a huge SRV fan, I had to walk to this statue and take a photo. It's a beautiful piece of art in his honor.

A well deserved tribute to a great local musician. Austin can list it's garage bands and lay claim to the music capital of the world, but SRV was a true musician and Austin should be proud of his contribution to the local music scene. He played with the greats....he was one of the greats.

I enjoyed seeing the Stevie Ray Vaughn statue while strolling on a trail alongside the river. Beautiful view of downtown is behind the attraction as well.

A little bit lonely and not a good place to enjoy during summer since there's no tree near the statue. So just came, see the statue and go again.
