Watch Michael Hedges Play ‘Aerial Boundaries’
On this day 20 years ago—December 2, 1997—the amazing and influential fingerstyle guitarist Michael Hedges was killed when the car he was driving veered off a cliff in Mendocino County, California.; he was 43. The accident cut short the brilliant career of one of the steel-string guitar’s most unique voices. We remember him here with a video of Hedges playing his best-known original piece, “Aerial Boundaries,” which appeared on a hit Windham Hill album of the same name in 1984.
