TUNICA, Miss. (Oct. 14, 2025) — Gold Strike Casino Resort, the Mid-South’s premier casino resort destination, will host Texas Flood, a Stevie Ray Vaughan Experience, at 8 p.m. on March 13 at Gold Strike Theatre inside the casino.

Hailing from Dallas, Texas, the trio stands as one of the most authentic Stevie Ray Vaughan tribute bands in the world. Texas Flood has captivated audiences worldwide with its uncanny recreation of the blues legend’s sound, energy and soul. The group’s commitment to authenticity and respect for Vaughan’s musical legacy makes every performance a heartfelt homage to one of the greatest guitarists of all time.

At the heart of this extraordinary trio is guitarist and vocalist Tommy Katona. Originally from Hungary, Katona channels the spirit of Stevie Ray Vaughan with astonishing precision. His guitar work mirrors SRV’s blistering solos, soulful bends and iconic tone, while his vocals capture Vaughan’s raw emotion and distinctive phrasing, leaving audiences spellbound.

Supporting Katona are Steve Buckner on bass and Travis Montoya on drums, who form the powerhouse rhythm section that drives the band’s electrifying sound. Buckner’s deep, resonant basslines and Montoya’s dynamic, shuffle-infused drumming deliver the perfect foundation for Katona’s fiery guitar.

Together, this Dallas-based trio has brought the magic of Stevie Ray Vaughan to stages across the United States and around the world, from major festivals to intimate venues. Each performance is more than a concert; it’s an experience that transports audiences inside the soul of Texas blues and the spirit of the legendary Stevie Ray.
