LEDFOOT is the latest incarnation of an artist who has been around since the early 1980’s. He has used his full name, Tim Scott-McConnell, as well as just Tim Scott, and now, LEDFOOT.

Whatever he’s called, Tim is a serious, professional artist with a bottomless pit of great songs (all of which he currently owns), a storied history, and a clear vision of what he’s doing. He has held several major label record and publishing contracts and with each, enjoyed respectable successes along the way. He was signed to Island Records by Chris Blackwell after he saw Tim perform in The Rockats, the predecessor to and headliner for Brian Setzer's Stray Cats. He was later signed to Sire Records by label co-founders Seymour Stein & Richard Gottherer (the same team that *discovered* Madonna), who realized Tim’s value as both an artist and a songwriter. In 1983, Tim penned a song called “SWEAR” and Sire released an album featuring the song, produced by Gottherer. SWEAR was also covered that same year by Sheena Easton and both the song and the album went platinum. But Tim wasn’t happy with the direction Sire was pointing him in and so he got out Geffen to buy him out of his contract and sign him up. They matched him with producer Mitchell Froom and together they recorded an album, The High Lonesome Sound in 1987. In 1990, Tim put together The Havalinas and were signed by Elektra, issued one self-titled album and proceeded to tour the world, opening for name acts such as Bob Dylan. After opening for Chris Isaak at LA’s Wiltern Theater, Bruce Springsteen, who was in the audience, covered Tim’s song, “High Hopes”, which appeared on Bruce’s 1996 release, “Blood Brothers”. In 2004, Tim moved to Norway. There for 14 years, he wrote for and/or did several records with several labels, including Warner Bros., WEA, Universal, and MCA. He continued touring throughout. He has now returned to the US, joined up with Just Great Management and is prepared to do whatever it takes to get LEDFOOT on the map.

With LEDFOOT, Tim has created a genre of music he calls, the Gothic Blues. An amalgam of Blues subject matter married to songs borne of rock infrastructures, played on a 12-string acoustic guitar tuned to open B-flat minor via an exciting combination of steel-clad finger-picking, a precision left hand and a mean bottle neck slide. This is accompanied by a loud, purposeful foot stomping on an electrified woodblock and often cutting/often tender vocals. It’s as loud as most metal bands and as captivating as the Devil himself. Best of all… LEDFOOT’s electrifying presentation has no equal, no contemporaries and therefore, no competition. It’s 100% off-the-charts excitement and as much as audiences are confronted by something they have little, if any point of reference to, they find themselves humming LEDFOOT songs for weeks, as they are every bit as infectious as an innocuous pop song, despite their brutal honesty and mind-numbing reality.
