Denny Freeman, who helped give rise to Austin’s blues scene in the 1970s playing with Stevie Ray Vaughan and later became the touring guitarist in Bob Dylan’s band, died Sunday after being diagnosed with abdominal cancer last month. He was 76. Born Aug. 7, 1944, in Orlando, Fla., Freeman grew up in Dallas, playing in a high school band called the Corals before moving to Austin in 1970. Freeman and Vaughan soon were playing together with singer Paul Ray and others in a group called the Cobras at venues including the One Knite and Soap Creek Saloon. They were part of a wave of musicians who arrived here around that time, including guitarist Jimmie Vaughan (Stevie’s older brother), singers Angela Strehli and Lou Ann Barton and University of Texas student Clifford Antone, who eventually opened a downtown nightclub that became the community’s mecca.
