Hayden Pedigo (album release)

“My name is Hayden Pedigo, and I’m from Amarillo, Texas.” That’s how the young guitarist opens all of his shows – not only due to hometown pride, but also due to the inspiration his music takes from the widescreen vistas and flat desert earth around his city. Pedigo’s ninth and latest album I’ll Be Waving as You Drive Away fleshes out his usually spare sound with added instrumentation and lusher textures without altering his essential, expansive vibe. The former Amarillo City Council candidate celebrates the record’s release at Austin’s favorite outsider record store at 6pm. EOAE-exclusive colored vinyl will be available. – Michael Toland
