About me
Andy Hedges is a songster, reciter, storyteller, guitarist, and collector of cowboy songs and poems. The son of a schoolteacher and a rodeo-cowboy-turned-preacher, Andy grew up in Tokio, Texas, where his family paid rent on an old farmhouse by looking after a few head of cattle. There, he fell in love with traditional music by listening to his father’s cassettes of cowboy songs. Andy’s vast and varied repertoire includes cowboy poetry recitations, obscure western ballads, and the folk-blues of the working cowboy. His podcast Cowboy Crossroads features interviews with fellow musicians and poets. In 2023, Andy debuted at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, and in 2024, he brought his album Roll On, Cowboys to Carnegie Hall in New York City.
