Mr. Charles Hedgepath is proud to annouce the release of his new album; MEMENTOS

It takes a lot of effort and collaborations to create a wonderful album. At this time I would like to introduce to you my Cast and Crew whom made my dream album come true.

I’ve always wanted to put out an acoustic album representing my time playing bluegrass and folk music. With the help of a grant from the Greenville Metropolitan Arts Council I was able to accomplish this goal.

Meet The Cast:

Our Happy Reviews

Review by Alan Cackett

As soon as I heard the first guitar notes of Bury Me Beneath The Willows I was hooked. I had never heard of Charles Hedgepath, but when this album finished playing, I immediately undertook a little research. There’s much to discover about this skilled guitarist and singer from Greenville, South Carolina. He is a member of various groups such as the Bad Popes, the Shady Recruits, the Work, Simple Syrup and plays a variety of solo and combo performances, mainly around his home state. He is also an in-demand session player and pick-up musician who has played gigs and recordings with such diverse acts as Bluegrass Underground, Peter Rowan, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Marcus King, Matt Reynolds, Randall Bramblett, Bobby Lee Rodgers and many more. He has recorded several of his own albums including a Christmas set and a collection of Spirituals.

“The collaborations within these songs by Hedgepath is a true inspiration to all”

“A fabulous gathering of instrumental and artist combinations. Charles Hedgepath is on piont!”
