On a warm summer night in Madison, NJ, more than 200 fans, collaborators, family and friends came together for “Remembering Michael Hedges” – a tribute/benefit concert.
Guitarists Andy McKee, Calum Graham and Trevor Gordon Hall pay tribute to Michael, who they cite as one of their biggest influences, with a cover of “Ursa Major” on their first album as tripliciti.
In August 1987, I was delighted to welcome Michael Hedges back to Milwaukee for the second American Finger-Style Festival. His career was burgeoning and there was a palpable excitement in the air both for his concert and teaching. And he was ready!
In 1983, Michael Hedges’s friend Randy Lutge filmed him playing several of his songs slowly, so that others might more easily learn them. Watch him play “Layover” in this format.
