About:

 

Don Pedigo is a Hoosier by heart who has lived and written in Nashville long enough to call it home. A songwriter first, his compass has always pointed toward honest storytelling and melody. His songs have been featured in films, covered by other artists, and carried him across the country on multiple tours, including performances during SXSW week and the Hollywood Music Media Awards. His publishing roots trace back to working with Earl Bud Lee — the hit writer behind “Friends in Low Places” — a friendship and collaboration that continues today. Don has recorded with Larry Crane, Mellencamp’s longtime guitarist and arranger, and in Nashville with producer Grady Saxman, credits include Jelly Roll and Luke Combs, and some of the city’s top A-list players. He’s earned nods from songwriting legends John Prine and Steve Earle — artists whose influence can be heard in his blend of heartland grit and lyrical depth. After losing a son, a bandmate, and a few dreams along the way, Pedigo poured it all into the songs. What he brings to every stage is music that’s lived-in, honest, and written to connect.

 

Single Notes:The lead single from Don Pedigo’s newest body of work is one of two recorded tracks he’s ever not written himself. Pedigo identifies as a songwriter first which calls his listeners to pay even closer attention to the why behind his selections. Pedigo’s version of Justin Townes Earle’s “Maybe a Moment” takes on a wise perspective with a heavy-hearted knowing of just how significant each breath and moment is in this life. A performance that embodies the message of choosing to live fully in even the seemingly mundane aspects of our days. After losing his own son to an overdose, Pedigo is passionate about pouring into the overdose prevention and awareness community. With the release of this single, Pedigo is set to perform at the Red Barn Jamboree with organizations Cahoots Indiana and Overdose Lifeline in Little Nashville, Indiana on November 8th to continue his efforts to spotlight the cause and lessen the number of families affected by this epidemic each year.
