A Buffalo bluesman with Mississippi in his ear.

Hayden Fogle is an electric blues guitarist and bandleader from Buffalo, New York.

He fronts the Hayden Fogle Band, a group he put together in 2014 to play real, no-holds-barred electric blues drawn from his own influences: Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert Collins. The band has been recognised as one of the top blues acts in Western New York and has been invited to perform and headline at some of the largest music festivals in the country.

In 2018 he took the Grand Prize in the blues category of the Lee Ritenour / Yamaha Music International Guitar Competition. The competition drew entrants from more than fifty countries and was judged by a panel including Lee Ritenour, Joe Bonamassa, Keb' Mo', Pat Martino, Joe Satriani and Vince Gill.

He has performed alongside a long list of nationally known musicians, among them Buddy Guy, James Cotton, Grammy-winning producer Tom Hambridge, Lee Ritenour, Robert Randolph, Davy Knowles, Donald Kinsey and the Kinsey Report, and Bob Margolin. That started early: he found the blues while living in Mississippi, picked up a guitar before he was nine, and was invited on stage by Buddy Guy at a sold-out Buffalo show not long after.

He plays PRS guitars and JAM Pedals.
