Pete Escovedo Lifetime Anthology T-Shirt Available Now

Launching the new “Pete Escovedo Lifetime Anthology” t-shirts! They are finally here. We have medium, large, extra large, 2X, and 3X.

The story behind the inspiration: Artist and Photographer: Rony Armas hand-etched the Aztec symbol on glass. Mr. Escovedo then held up the glass in front of him and looked through the etching, and the photo was taken. This is the result when a truly creative artist, Rony Armas, and a legendary musician, Pete Escovedo, come together.

Escovedo Way

January 14th, 2024 was a very special day. We were honored to have the street we raised our children Sheila, Juan, Peter Michael, and Zina, on 9th Ave and East 21st officially changed to “Escovedo Way.” We have had many special memories there.

Many well-renowned musicians who got their start in Oakland would spend many days and nights at our home playing in the front room and the front porch. Those were the good old days when we would have jam sessions.

The landlord raised our rent $50, so, unfortunately, we had to move. That was a lot of money back then for us trying to raise our 4 kids. But God had other plans for my family. Years later, here we are standing on the corner looking up at our street sign “Escovedo Way.”

God is good. Thank you, Oakland! You will always be my hometown.

67th Wedding Anniversary

Today I am celebrating our 67th wedding anniversary at Catalina Jazz Club. It’s been an incredible ride. Doing our best to raise 4 children, was a task in itself, being that I was making $50 a week, and you were working at an ice cream plant supporting the family financially while I was struggling to make a name for myself. I am a very blessed man to share this life with you. A musician’s life is not an easy one, but there is nothing I would change about our path. I am grateful for our life together in this world. I love you always and forever. Happy Anniversary!

 

Escovedo Way

I am beyond grateful for receiving the honor of having the legacy of my fathers last name “Escovedo” to be put on a street name in our old neighborhood where my wife and I and my 4 children had great memories there. We lived on Eeast 21st St. and 9th Ave. The legacy will continue to my children, my grandchildren, and my great grandchildren. Our street will be called “Escovedo Way”. This could not have happened without the support of Henry Royal, Ray Leon, council member Noel Gallo, my daughter Sheila E., my wife of 66 years Juanita Escovedo, and my children Juan Escovedo, Peter Michael Escovedo and my youngest Zina Escovedo. For the support behind the scenes whom the public may not see but has made sure that I was always taken care ofm I personally would like to thank Al Evers, Victor Pamiroyan, Joey Torres, Xavier, and Chino. And to my parents in heaven…I hope I made you proud!
Your loving son…
Pete M. Escovedo
