I recently became a fan of Stevie's last year after viewing "Llive at Montreaux 1982 and 1985." Stevie had an incredible sound and it was huge. As Eric Clapton stated his playing was loud. But anyway, How tall was Stevie Ray Vaughan. I believe he was called "Little Stevie." Just curious. |

Welcome to the forum SRVgirl!
I think the "Little Stevie" came from him being so young and hanging out in the blues clubs in Texas. He would sit in with the "big boys" so to speak, so they all called him Little Stevie. JLV being his bigger bro probably had something to do with it. SRV was a tag along in his younger years, LOL. But if he was short, that probably had a lot to do with it as well!
I have heard rumors that he was a short little dude. Like around 5'4" or something. I have no idea if thats true though. I've never read anything about his height.
But could you imagine how much all of those custom outfits cost if he was such a short guy, LOL. He would have to get all of his clothes tailored and stuff, must have been inconvenient Oh well, his soul and playing most likely made up for the lack of altitude!
Cheers,
Troy |

Thanks for answering my question on SRV's height. I am like you though, I have not read anything on his height (read the biography by Patoski and Crawford); however, its obvious from viewing videos and picture, that he along w/the drummer are short compared to Tommy and Reese. Thanks Troy! |

The arrest record was wrong, Stevie was short. more like 5'5". I saw him play with Buddy Guy and I'm 6'2" and a head taller then Buddy and Stevie was even shorter.
Craig Hopkins, the Prez of the SRV fan club, at guitar shows has a life size SRV picture you could stand next to. I stood next to it in Craigs house and believe me, Stevie was small guy, he didn't even hit my shoulders. But his hands were huge.

Ok sorry this is way late but a new member,if you see pictures of srv with others who you know there height's roughly,say eric clapton is 5ft 11 ive read or so,and see him and srv together in pictures,some srv is a bit smaller,5ft 9 or smaller,and others similar heights,but that is because you cant see it all,like srv leaning up maybe etc....But also srv wore cowboy style boots alot that added a few inches,so maybe he was 5ft 9 in boots and without shorter,but i think he was around the 5ft 9 height,sounds and looks right. |
