February 19, 2006: Listen to Interview
Big Pete Pearson is Arizona’s King of the Blues. He has ruled the Phoenix blues bars since the late 1950’s. His physical stature and overwhelmingly strong voice command attention. Off stage, Pete can be found with a snifter of Christian Brothers brandy in hand as he joyously greets his many fans. He’s a father figure to many local musicians who have cut their teeth playing in his band. Pete is considered to be a legend locally, and is one of the few blues artists in the Phoenix area that has earned national attention. Big Pete has worked with legends Ray Charles, BB King, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker and he’s related to respected national recording artist W.C. Clark.
