Hayden Pedigo – “Elsewhere”

Hayden Pedigo basically redefines the term “renaissance person.” The Texas-born, ten-gallon-hat-wearing fingerstyle guitarist is a documentary star — the 2021 Kid Candidate chronicles his moment as a 24-year-old running for city council in Amarillo. He’s a Gucci runway model. He’s collaborated with fellow artists such as Tim Heidecker, Terry Allen, and Jessica Pratt, and this summer he’s hitting the road with Jenny Lewis. Now, Pedigo is announcing his sixth studio album, The Happiest Times I Ever Ignored, coming June 30 via Mexican Summer. Along with the news is a pedal steel-tinged lead single, “Elsewhere.”
