Hayden Pedigo

Hayden Pedigo was raised in the West Texas city of Amarillo. It was his upbringing in—and embrace of—his home in the rural Texas Panhandle region that would eventually draw him national attention. At age 12, Pedigo decided he wanted to learn guitar, and his parents paid for lessons. Pedigo grew obsessed with the instrument, carefully studying to play like Stevie Ray Vaughan and Ry Cooder.
