AceShowbiz - Sub Pop has officially welcomed Hayden Pedigo to its roster, marking an exciting new chapter for the artist. To commemorate the signing, Pedigo shared a humorous and unconventional contract that highlights the unique terms of his deal with the iconic indie label.
The playful agreement includes a payment of “777 Gorgeous Dollars,” a lifetime supply of complimentary passes to Ol’ Bernard’s Roller Rink & Organ Honkers, and ownership of a one-foot plot of Village Lake, which was formerly known as Alcohol and Drug Abuse Lake in Richland County, South Carolina, United States. Additionally, the contract humorously guarantees that Pedigo will never be asked to perform covers of artists like Def Leppard, Dokken, the Doors, Van Halen, or Tank Top Party Lads.
Expressing his excitement on Instagram, Pedigo wrote, “I signed with @subpop!!! The greatest label on earth! I can’t explain to y’all how excited I am to be working with them!” He also revealed that he is actively working on his next full-length album, promising fans more to look forward to in the near future.
In addition to the signing, Sub Pop announced that Pedigo will be hosting a four-month residency on NTS Radio titled Amarillo Highway With Hayden Pedigo, beginning February 25th. This residency is expected to showcase his eclectic tastes and artistic vision.
