Today we celebrated one of the High Plains greats of experimental guitar composition by inviting him to unleash a curated playlist of his favorite artists. Thanks to Hayden Pedigo for sharing some time from the road for a comprehensive check-in as he made his way back to the Yellow City for his final gig of 2023. Click here for tickets, which are VERY cheap thanks to the great folks at Brick & Elm Magazine. (Let's sell out the Globe-News for a hometown guitar hero, y'all!)
