79 years old (Born on April 18, 1946)
Happy Birthday, Tommy Shannon! Another year older, another riff wiser—legend has it that each birthday increases your bass-playing groove by exactly two and a half percent. Given your legendary vibe with Stevie Ray Vaughan's Double Trouble, you're already dangerously groovy; one more birthday could tip the scale to 'dangerously funky'!From commanding stages around the globe to delivering unforgettable rhythms on timeless classics like "Pride and Joy" and "Texas Flood," you've always embodied rock 'n blues excellence. Celebrate big—but stay clear of any candles near your strings! May this year's success be as smooth as your iconic basslines.
