Ledfoot

LEDFOOT aka Tim Scott McConnell is an American Singer-Songwriter and 12-string guitarist, born in Florida, USA in 1958. He has been touring and releasing music since the late 1970’s as a solo artist and as a member of The Rockats in the early 1980’s and The Havalinas in the early 1990’s. Bob Dylan invited The Havalinas to open for him on the ’Oh Mercy’ tour of France and England. In 2014, Bruce Springsteen released his album ’High Hopes, the title track having been written by Tim and recorded by the Havalinas. It debuted as #1 in over 10 countries including the U.S. and the U.K.. LEDFOOT came into existence in 2006, when Tim put together the different techniques from over 30 years of playing and combined a 12-string guitar with steel fingerpicks, a brass slide, open-tunings, very heavy strings and a stomp box. Mixing this with his dark lyrical and melodic sense, he called it ‘Gothic Blues’. Since then, Ledfoot has released 7 albums and has toured continuously in Europe. Ledfoot was awarded Spellemann (Norwegian Grammy) in the blues class for his albums ‘White Crow’ (2019) and 'Coffin Nails' (2022). Ledfoot wrote and performed a majority of the music used in the Norwegian 3-season TV-series mega-success Exit (2021-2023) Ledfoot has also released two duo albums with Norwegian guitar legend Ronni Le Tekro, ‘A Death Divine’ (2020) and ‘Limited Edition Lava Lamp’ (2023). Tim has written music for other artist such as Highasakite, TNT, Sheena Easton and others.
