Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.
This is a list of awards received by American blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan. He debuted on the music scene in 1983 as the frontman of Double Trouble. Through his group and collaborative work, he became one of the first musicians to be inducted into the Austin Music Hall of Fame in 1982. He was also inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 2000. Winning many magazine polls, the guitarist was honored by former Texas governor Mark White in 1985. Vaughan has won 6 Grammy Awards, 10 Austin Music Awards, and 5 W. C. Handy Awards, being nominated for "Best Contemporary Blues Male Artist," as well as winning awards for "Entertainer of the Year" and "Instrumentalist of the Year."
The Austin Music Awards are presented annually in Austin by The Austin Chronicle. Vaughan has received 10 Austin Music Awards, along with an induction into the Austin Music Hall of Fame.
Although he became eligible for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008, he didn't appear on a nominations roster until 2014. In 2015, he, along with Double Trouble, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Jimmie Vaughan accepted the award on his behalf.
