Perhaps most widely known for his endearing bid for Amarillo city council at the tender age of 25, after his Harmony Korine inspired spoof campaign video went viral. Hayden's music is equally enchanting, combining the American primitive guitar picking styles of John Fahey with a proclivity for experimental sound design and manipulation. By his early 20s, Hayden had already collaborated with luminaries such as Charles Hayward of This Heat, Fred Frith, Werner Diermaier of Faust, and outlaw country legend, Terry Allen. However it's important to expect the unexpected with Hayden Pedigo. With album artwork that depicts black metal connotations and a sworn hater of the term \"Cosmic Country\", Hayden's satirical sense of humour extends from the various characters he portrays on his Instagram page and into every fibre of his being.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mexican Summer","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50475426218315,"sku":"1131423","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/5efcc781-ec1b-4a9a-98bc-3c84ad099ac1_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727446769"},{"product_id":"live-in-amarillo-texas","title":"Live in Amarillo, Texas","description":"\u003cp\u003eSomething happened. Between the summer of \u003ci\u003eThe Happiest Times I Ever Ignored\u003c\/i\u003e and the night before Christmas Eve 2023, the music of Hayden Pedigo transformed. Back-to-back months of touring lead to incredible outcomes: First, his chops became more finely honed than ever before, lending a precision and versatility to the songs that would surprise even the most-seasoned Pedigo listener. Second, Hayden lived in these songs, translating them through improvisation and dynamic exploration into emotional juggernauts – instrumental music that sings to the audience. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLanding in his hometown of Amarillo, Texas for the holidays to perform at The Amarillo Globe-News Center – home of the Amarillo Symphony – a gorgeous and beguiling set was recorded in front of a crowd of nearly five hundred people.

Since the release of his 2023 record, \u003cem\u003eThe Happiest Times I Ever Ignored\u003c\/em\u003e, Pedigo earned widespread critical acclaim, performed a stunning NPR Tiny Desk Concert, toured non-stop with the likes of Jenny Lewis, Devendra Banhart and Hiss Golden Messenger, and more. He then decamped on a 20,000-acre ranch at an artist residency in Wyoming to write his new album, which he’d later record in Ojai with Scott Hirsch and name for a “pretty devastating” episode of\u003cem\u003e Little House on the Prairie\u003c\/em\u003e from 1978. The resulting album, \u003cem\u003eI’ll Be Waving As You Drive Away\u003c\/em\u003e, is the final installment of what Pedigo has dubbed 'The Motor Trilogy’ – his three latest solo albums, tied together by their vehicular Jonathan Phillips artwork. An innovator of the instrumental genre, challenger of the stereotypical, and son of a truck-stop preacher, Pedigo has crafted an intentionally maximalist, genre-resistant work of warped instrumental Americana on this release, which he calls “a micro-dose psychedelic album…as if somebody had cut up a tab of LSD and put on a Fahey record.” \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mexican Summer","offers":[{"title":"LP - Brown","offer_id":51596510626123,"sku":"R2217-0512","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":56938819322187,"sku":"R2217-4288","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/762184238821.jpg?v=1744113082"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_4540fd0a_thumbnail_4096_1d5acbe2-4e61-4652-9c73-fe2bb98d1162.jpg?v=1726593795","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/hayden-pedigo.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
