Braw Gigs & Fuzz Bat Present: Hayden Pedigo + Guests

Event information

Braw Gigs and Fuzz Bat have teamed up again for a very special show in the beautiful surroundings of St Vincent’s Chapel in the New Town and we’re very pleased to welcome the young and multi talented, Texan guitar sensation, Hayden Pedigo. A must for fans of John Fahey, Papa M, Loren Connors and Jim O’Rourke.

Hayden Pedigo has lived many lives, having been homeschooled in Amarillo, Texas by his truck-stop preacher father, run for Amarillo City Council in 2019, aged 25—as documented by Jasmine Stodel’s SXSW-premiering, PBS-acquired film Kid Candidate—and struck up pen-friendships and collaborative partnerships with the likes of Terry Allen, Charles Hayward (This Heat), Werner “Zappi” Diermaier (Faust), and Tim Heidecker. A move south from Amarillo to Lubbock in 2020 put a spark to the powder keg of his creativity. “It’s even more flat, desolate, windy and dirty – like being on Mars,” Pedigo observes. “It’s pushed me to create more because there’s not really much to distract.”

With a new LP incoming, here’s a rare chance to catch one of Texas’ most talented guitarists in a really special setting at St Vincent’s along with some excellent local support from Edinburgh based experimental folk hero, Bell Lungs, and the bard of Dunbar, Cod O’Donnell. It’s going to be a very special evening - plus it’s BYOB!
