Don't Mess with "Texas"

Pete Mayes has spent more than 50 years perfecting his infectious blend of blues and R&B with a touch of country and Texas shuffle. "Texas" Pete Mayes, as he's known in blues circles (which stipulate that all performers older than 60 must have a nickname), is just as likely to have audiences hitting the dance floor as kicking back to relax. After Mayes's set, grab a cold one and stay put as local musicians hold a blues jam session.
