DESCRIPTION:
Performing at the Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh, North Carolina on Friday January 4, 2013.

From Raleigh, NC, the Stoner Rock/Southern Rock band Leadfoot was formed in 1993 after Karl Agell was "let go" from Raleigh-based Corrosion of Conformity. (Karl sang lead on the highly-influential album "Blind"). Woody Weatherman and Phil Swisher also left C.O.C. to join Leadfoot. Woody left after a bit to reform C.O.C. The Leadfoot line-up was completed with Graham Fry, Ryan Culp Barringer and Jon McClain.

In 1996 the band was signed to Roadrunner and they recorded "Bring it On" in Hollywood, CA. Their debut album was released in early 1997 to rave reviews around the world. After the band was dropped from Roadrunner, drummer Jon McClain left the band and was replaced by Tim Haisman. Ryan was also replaced by Scott Little on guitar. The band released its second full-length CD titled "Take A Look" in 1999. The success from this record took the band on its first world tour, playing at several of Europe's famous mega-music festivals.

After the tour, domestic duties took guitarist Graham Fry from the band and was replaced with John Dzubak. Leadfoot was signed by Lunasound and they recorded their third CD "We Drink For Free" in 2002. Another US and European tour followed with great success. After a break in late 2003, Phil decided to leave the band and was followed by Tim. The remaining three members almost decided to call it quits, but they went ahead with auditions for a new rhythm section. Session drummer John Flowers joined the band in February of 2004 along with bassist Paul Walz three months later. In 2007, John Dzubak bailed to become a dating coach in NYC. John Flowers, with family in tow, moved to Arizona. Good friend, Bill Eagen took over on drums for a while. Bill and Paul parted company with Leadfoot the same year.

The summer of 2008 marked the heralded return of Graham Fry. Leadfoot added TR Gwynne to the ranks as bass player and back up vocalist. We are happy to announce the return of John Flowers on drums, back from his wanderings through the desert Southwest. Returning to his Southern heartland, back in the bosom of the almighty Leadfoot. Domestic duties have taken guitarist Graham Fry from the band again.

So the revolving door keeps on keeping on! No matter the lineup, the ethic remains the same. their high-energy, dynamic performances still drive fans into a rock and roll fury.

Leadfoot is currently working on their fourth full-length CD.
