I'm sorry, but it didn't take courage for Tommy to leave his homeland, Hungary and play SRV in Texas, it took talent and he was a brilliant musician. As a Hungarian, you are proud to have such a fantastic guitarist and singer in my country, who stands his ground in the homeland of the blues, they recognize his knowledge and talent! (I'm sorry if my English isn't perfect, but I'll write my comment with the google translator)
@@nemes-49 Hey man this guy is so awesome he sounds so much like SRV it's crazy I close my eyes and think I'm listening to Stevie himself really nice job.
There is only one Stevie Ray, but Tommy sure can come very close to Stevie’s tone and mannerisms. You can certainly tell that he is a great fan of the GOAT. Great tribute to Stevie. Would love to see you live!!
If you didnt see Stevie this is as close as it gets. My favorite of em all. I have family from abroad and it takes guts to leave home and start over in a strange land. Respect!
There is only one Stevie Ray Vaughan my number hero. But Tommy does An outstanding job paying tribute to his hero Stevie Ray rock on my brother rock on
Omg I'm in amazement not only do you look like SRV you sound like him too singing and playing and even have his manarisms down !!!!! WOW just WOW you're awesome man and I'm sure the Blues man himself is looking down and very proud 💗💗💗much love brother keep on pickin n grinnin my friend 🎸🎶🎸🎵🎸🎶🎸🎵
@@jshkings89 In Big D listening to all these guys copying Stevie is boring.But I saw him in the 70s.I remember seeing Stevie in The Cobras when Denny Freeman was the lead guitar player.lol AINT IT FUN BEING FROM TEXAS!
All players “cover”their idols;so,as Tommy covers Stevie,Stevie covered Jimi&the 2 Alberts❤The man’s point is,of the many players covering Stevie,Tommy,perhaps is the best
@@tonebrennan8475 I'd rather hear somebody doing their own stuff and having their own tone....nothing worse than sitting through a copycat set of "Pride and Joy" and "Couldn't Stand the Weather".Most of your older folks from Texas who have been around share this opinion.
Wow! That was incredible. He has completely distilled Stevie's style and made it his own. Very passionate player and singer with totally amazing chops.
I met him in 2004, just came to the U.S.A. on a SRV Tour and you could Tell this Guy had something, just the way he carried himself, if you know What I Mean!!
david friesen heck yeah I know what you mean! And the best part...he was a humble nice guy who was more than happy to chat with me after gig about his rig. I even got on stage and saw all his settings up close. You could tell he’s just a nice guy. Can’t wait for them to come back to town.
@@Topjunkie-r4sit’s not just the fact that he’s an excellent guitar player. It’s his singing… it’s so exactly the same voice as Stevie’s that it’s nearly impossible for me to wrap my head around the fact that it’s not Stevie. This dude Tommy is gifted
It’s a good copy but to master it takes the deep pain that Stevie understood and vented and causes me to cry when I hear it. Nothing like it and not possible to fake
This guy is the best SRV cover to ever grace this old man’s ears. He is definitely an accurate study of the master, a true disciple. Live on, stay clean and sober, and have a long career. Oh, and like some of the others in this comment section have said “ STAY AWAY FROM HELICOPTERS AND SMALL CHARTER PLANES.” They seem to be a deadly poison to stars, an actual bane; most recently, Kobe Bryant and his daughter, along with several others.
Had a couple whiskey and listened to this video without looking who is playing just listened and I swear it's like listening to the big man. You are not here to finish what he started because he gave us his all he had and it was so intense and beautiful and all I can say you are here as a recarnatioon to expand what he could have done, so keep up the amazing work and you will show us what Stevie had for us in the future. Blessed!! 🙏
This is the second day in a row I've seen them. Never heard of them before yesterday. I'm just in awe. I'm in NYC. I'm actually considering going to see him in Texas.
Stevie was great when he was alive he's my number one guy but people for forget it's always somebody coming along just going to be better flatout plain and simple this man playing right here has the opportunity to overcome and be one of the better best guitarist ever cuz he's still alive too man he's still kicking it
Actually thought this was early footage of SRV, thinking how he was bit heavier in his youth. Only halfway through did I begin to scrutinize the spot on impersonation. I was listening to SRV box set, thinking how I want to play as well as Stevie, then this Katona dude. Wow! This gives me a lot to strive for.
hemidesign yeah man it was intense and I finally feel like I had a chance to experience what I could only imagine being at Stevie’s gig! Enjoy...I think I posted more too! Great show.
Just dreaming, but it would have been cool if both Tommy and Stevie would have shared the stage and had a duel.....just dreaming.....Tommy and Chris...you listening to this guy?
I can almost close my eyes and believe srv is playing very impressed very I'm following this man. There's alot of guys that try to imitate srv John mare and any others but this guy is closer not close but bravo
Imitation is the ultimate form of flattery. Any one whose ears don't want to soak up this beautiful music, especially live, just isn't right in the head.
*Great playin' mister Katona... I wonder what kinda fender is that ? Looks to me it's something like Fender Custom Shop Limited '59 Strat Relic Super Faded Aged Chocolate 3 tone sunburst? ( With hand wound texas special pickups? )*
He taking off where Stevie left us to early, now I feel like this dude can keep what Stevie would have kept on giving us, only thing is stevie was making all this music himself, but I'm sure this dude can make his own stuff too being able to play like this.
This is respectful homage, not blind imitation. Outstanding talent and skill and confidence.
Takes a lot of guts to go to Texas and play SRV. Respect.
I'm sorry, but it didn't take courage for Tommy to leave his homeland, Hungary and play SRV in Texas, it took talent and he was a brilliant musician.

@@nemes-49 Hey man this guy is so awesome he sounds so much like SRV it's crazy I close my eyes and think I'm listening to Stevie himself really nice job.
Tommy is fantastic he can play Stevie Ray Vaughan well his Jimmy Page is spot on as well he has the tone and feel of a master guitarist
@@nemes-49I never knew he was from Hungary
@@couthlazer His father is also an excellent guitarist, not so well known, but Tommy (Tomi) had someone to learn from 🙂
Tommy is by far the most convincing SRV tribute artist around.
There is only one Stevie Ray, but Tommy sure can come very close to Stevie’s tone and mannerisms. You can certainly tell that he is a great fan of the GOAT. Great tribute to Stevie. Would love to see you live!!
If you didnt see Stevie this is as close as it gets. My favorite of em all. I have family from abroad and it takes guts to leave home and start over in a strange land. Respect!
I watched until the singing began. And then I kept watching!
They need to do a SRV movie and this dude should be in it PERIOD
He’s great but he has a Hungarian accent. Seriously
Ah, that would be a hard NO.
I agree!!!
There is only one Stevie Ray Vaughan my number hero. But Tommy does An outstanding job paying tribute to his hero Stevie Ray rock on my brother rock on
His Vocals!
Stevie would be So Proud !!
Definitely
..don't think so....he would say to him: Come on boy, if you want to copy me , you should buy cool clothes first and throw away this bum suit...
Yes no doubt!
Both stevie.. Stevie Ray vaughn and stevie wonder 😂 this is stevie Ray wonder... He is amazing...
He has the dedication, voice, he has the feel and the sound and he looks like him
Omg I'm in amazement not only do you look like SRV you sound like him too singing and playing and even have his manarisms down !!!!! WOW just WOW you're awesome man and I'm sure the Blues man himself is looking down and very proud 💗💗💗much love brother keep on pickin n grinnin my friend 🎸🎶🎸🎵🎸🎶🎸🎵
Tommy Katona don’t stop playing the blues please don’t I will die without your blues play. I will not live without your blues. I will not.
Most excellent wow beautiful, 🎸⚡💥⚡🔥🔥🎸stevey loves you brother 😮😢😢😅😂 💪💥⚡🔥💥🎸 thankyou for what y'all do and to yhe one whoo posted this 👍✌️😎
this is the most impressive cover of an artist ive ever been blessed to see.
Lol This was a cover for Stevie.This is a Buddy Guy tune, genius.Get a clue.
@@knifelyfe6565 lol, okay? tommy is covering SRV covering BG, what's the problem?

His tone is infuckingcredible 🤏👻
Wow! That was incredible. He has completely distilled Stevie's style and made it his own. Very passionate player and singer with totally amazing chops.
Id say it take a lot of balls to not just cover SRV in San Antonio, but to capture his image. I think you pulled it off dude. well done.
This isn't Stevie's song.Stevie covered it.Its a Buddy Guy tune.Buddy does it lots better than Stevie....and Stevie would agree.He adored Buddy.

Tommy, please stay off them helicopters!
Funny story, thought this was SRV at a rare performance.....SRV was the GOAT....but this dude is 2nd. Wow! For my bday we get to see him!
Son, you’re scaring me. I don’t believe in ghosts but there’s something happening here that ain’t of this world. This is literally amazing.
Same here bro. I have chills right now.
Ohhh ya little Stevie on the stage but him self nice clean and slick I like it when he goes solo once in a while you realy here his talent
@@Topjunkie-r4sit’s not just the fact that he’s an excellent guitar player. It’s his singing… it’s so exactly the same voice as Stevie’s that it’s nearly impossible for me to wrap my head around the fact that it’s not Stevie. This dude Tommy is gifted
These are the best SRV covers ever.
I turned my screen off and listen to this at work and completely forgot this wasn't ACTUALLY SRV sounds just like him in every way great job man
Undistinguishable from the real man.... Haven't heard anyone sound EXACTLY LIKE Stevie. Stevie looking from above and smiling
Tommy Katona you’re awesome my brother 🤟
It’s a good copy but to master it takes the deep pain that Stevie understood and vented and causes me to cry when I hear it. Nothing like it and not possible to fake
So proud that this guy and the band is from where I live and I can go see him live several times a year!! ❤️

I agree with you Tommy can play anything he wants and have great tone and feel
This is the second day in a row I've seen them. Never heard of them before yesterday. I'm just in awe. I'm in NYC. I'm actually considering going to see him in Texas.
Thank you brother
This dude can freaking PLAY HOSS!!!
This guy is great - BUT - it's unfair to this guy to compare him to SRV - there was only ONE Stevie
Really,the dude is playing like SRV,singing like SRV,dressing like SRV and playing a tune SRV played,.....how could you NOT compare him to SRV!!🤣
@@thepirhomancer9745 just my opinion. as good as this guy is - he doesn't need to impersonate anyone
@@elvez1231 Now that's a fact,but can he find his own style?
Stevie was great when he was alive he's my number one guy but people for forget it's always somebody coming along just going to be better flatout plain and simple this man playing right here has the opportunity to overcome and be one of the better best guitarist ever cuz he's still alive too man he's still kicking it
This impersonation stuff is just wrong. Stevie Ray Vaughan will always be the ONLY one.
She won't Leave Me Alone♥️♥️😊😊
Awesome Tommy,
And great band ❤❤❤ 🔥 🎸
❤play that thing don’t stop playing that thing the blues I need it so bad
Damnnnnn! This was so righteous. SRV would grining from ear to ear seeing this.
Mad respect he's got balls and he's earned them he made me smile if I look from the side I see Stevie he sounds like srv
Actually thought this was early footage of SRV, thinking how he was bit heavier in his youth. Only halfway through did I begin to scrutinize the spot on impersonation. I was listening to SRV box set, thinking how I want to play as well as Stevie, then this Katona dude.
Wow! This gives me a lot to strive for.
Best Stevie Ray cover I've ever seen
I love this guy 🤙🤙 I love him for keeping Stevie Ray Vaughan alive 🙏
He's great as is his bass dude and drummer 2022! 🙌
What did I just watch. Wt/heck. Wow....👏👏
Great job by everybody .man the lead singer has Stevie down pat from the singing the playing and the clothes .Great job .
Holy Jesus! That’s amazing!
Holy shit. No way. He's fn awesome
About to go see him tonight!
holy crap man, this guy is INSANE!!! same as SRV!
hemidesign yeah man it was intense and I finally feel like I had a chance to experience what I could only imagine being at Stevie’s gig! Enjoy...I think I posted more too! Great show.
@@jbgoode2009 I was at many SRV shows and This Tommy guy has definitely got it down.
Never gonna happen!!
Just dreaming, but it would have been cool if both Tommy and Stevie would have shared the stage and had a duel.....just dreaming.....Tommy and Chris...you listening to this guy?
@john cash I agree… it’s one thing to mimic someone but it’s an entirely different thing to be the one to come up with it.
Wow, hes got the Steve spirit. Respect this . Godly
I can almost close my eyes and believe srv is playing very impressed very I'm following this man. There's alot of guys that try to imitate srv John mare and any others but this guy is closer not close but bravo
Sign Tommy with Jimmy and the fabulous thunderbirds
Imitation is the ultimate form of flattery. Any one whose ears don't want to soak up this beautiful music, especially live, just isn't right in the head.

Man he’s so talented Stevie would’ve definitely love this!🖤

Way to wail, Tommy! You've got your own thang!
dad wants me to play little wing for his 60th, might have to hire this man and get him to wear a mask of me
He taking off where Stevie left us to early, now I feel like this dude can keep what Stevie would have kept on giving us, only thing is stevie was making all this music himself, but I'm sure this dude can make his own stuff too being able to play like this.
Tommy you must play a role as Stevie, on the big screen, it’s time.
it can and should be done,
awesome pickin, singing and the band was top notch.
