Do the Dixie Chicks count as a SMU band?
I seem to remember that at least one of them was a student at SMU when the band formed.
Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians definitely had some roots at SMU.

Edie was a student at SMU but dropped out to concentrate on music.
I know that John Tower's daughter convinced her dad to write the check that allowed the Dixie Chicks to make their first album, but I wasn't aware of any SMU connection other than that thin one.

According to Wikipedia, one of them spent 1 year at SMU.
Upon graduation from high school, with Emily still in high school, she spent a year attending college at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, from 1988-1989.

That was greatness.
Jack Ingram deserves a mention too, but I'm still partial to Jackopierce. Cary Pierce still lives here in UP.

The Buena Vistas - local surf band icons. 4 different SMU grads played in the band. Started in 1985 when three of the guys were at SMU. One of the founders from SMU is yours truly. Still active.

I liked them back in the day. I think I have a CD somewhere.

Speaking of back in the day, my vote for greatest SMU band ever goes to that iconic 70's band "The Joint Effort". What a great band.

Rumor was back in Spring Semester '71 Stephen Stills (Dallas native) was "auditing", a class of one, at Meadows from a visiting Flamenco style guitarist.
Blood, Bones & Holley 1972/1973.
