From Jess and Kelly to Dimebag and Willie, the New Hard Rock Cafe Finds Wallspace for Plenty of Local Favorites

Dallas’ new Hard Rock Cafe is a week away from its opening at Victory Park’s southern end–forming, along with the nearby House of Blues and Hooters, a mecca in three parts for a particular sort of music fan.

With a soft opening set for next Wednesday–and a much grander August 20 date with The Old 97’s on the bill–expect to hear more about the place soon enough. For now though, you can check out Willie’s bandanna, art by Roy Orbison, Stevie Ray’s boots and Dimebag’s guitar in this slideshow.
