Leadfoot Larry

Larry and crew combine early styles of country, Americana, pop and Tex-Mex to create a neotraditional “cowpunk” sound. Larry first performed as a solo artist in 2014 in Saint Paul, MN, and by 2017 decided to take his act out with a full band.  Eight distinguished years into their genre-bending career,  they have headlined festivals, are frequent headliners for rodeos in the Midwest, and are even a fixture at local festivals and street dances across Minnesota and Wisconsin.  They released their debut album “Smooches Gracias” to critical acclaim, a follow-up album titled “Tequila Mockingbird” which has seen much terrestrial radio play, and were 2019 and 2021 Midwest CMA Awards nominees.

So call them what you will…”neo classic country”, or “new fashioned hillbilly” – it’s all the same to them. They are all dedicated to holding the torch for traditional American ‘roots music’, while at the same time looking to forge new ground and expressing their own musical vision.

Their exciting live show is a combination of radio-friendly originals, and the most danceable Top 40 classics from the “Golden Age of Country” to ever grace the radio!  Whether you find them at a street dance, large venue or roadside honky-tonk, you’re looking at a sweaty night of broken heels and spendy bar tabs.
