Pistol Pete

Pistol Pete Wearn is a solo acoustic blues artist who performs raucous and upbeat material accompanied by slide guitar and a stomping foot.

His music has been played on BBC 6 Music, described as "as true as it gets" by Blues Blast magazine & twice awarded 'Solo Blues Artist of The Year' by Moonshine Magazine. Touring full-time since 2015, he has played across Europe and supported such luminaries as ragtime guitar legend Stefan Grossman, American folk superstars The Stray Birds, and New Orleans songwriter Andrew Duhon.

He is currently touring material from his lockdown YouTube series Sunday Morning Blues, a collection of covers of traditional blues songs, as well as less traditional material done in a blues style, as well as favourites from his past CD releases.

A local music venue once named a salad after him in recognition of his achievements.
