sullysue Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I'm very fortunate to be from the land of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmy Vaughan, Toadies, Steve Miller, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Freddie King, Lead Belly, Demi Lovato, Meat Loaf (that's right. Meat Loaf is from Dallas. So is Demi Lovato, but who cares?), Michael Nesmith - the Monkey's member is from Dallas., of course Pantera (love, love, love, love.... :heart: :heart: , Charlie Pride! ( I did not know that.), Boz Skaggs, Michelle Shocked (didn't know that either... interesting.), Usher? (what? Is he really? Sweet! He's hot. But, I digress.....). T-Bone Walker. My town is a super cool hotbed of good music, past and present. What you got? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod in Toronto Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Sepultura and Angra. And tons of other metal bands that nobody in TRF would know about, so I'll stick to those two. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushCanuck Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I did a google and London Ont is the birthplace of several NHL players amongst other famous people. But, OH NO, Justin Bieber was born in London. I am embarrassed. London is only two hours away from Toronto, please remember that... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible airwave Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) I grew up in Claremont,CA so I have to mention Ben Harper. Tom Waits was born nearby in Pomona. There's too many SoCal and L.A. to list so I'll stick to the inland area I lived in most of my life. Cracker - RedlandsQueens of the Stone Age - the desertSammy Hagar - born in Fontana,CAFrank Zappa - Went to my alma matter, Chaffey College, in Rancho Cucamonga,CA for a semester. Also, Rowland Heights was my birth residence and apparently Van Halen played at parties in that area before they hit the big time.
