Biography

Blaze Foley (born 1949 in Malvern, Arkansas; died 1 February 1989 in Austin, Texas) was an American singer-songwriter. In the late 1970s Blaze Foley & The Beaver Valley Boys were a big part of the Houston club scene.

Foley grew up in Texas. He performed in a gospel band called The Fuller Family with his mother and sisters. After leaving home, he performed in Atlanta, Chicago, Houston and finally Austin, Texas, where even in this city of non-conformists his unusual character was noticed. He slept on friend’s couches or under pool-tables in bars.
