Documented collaborators

The Welch Ledbetter Connection formed from a shared tribute to Otis Rush at the Chicago Blues Festival in 2016, pairing Monster Mike Welch’s guitar with Ledbetter’s powerful vocals. Their collaboration yielded the critically acclaimed Right Place Right Time (Delta Groove, 2017), a collection of originals and favorites that showcases deep blues roots alongside dynamic performances. While Ledbetter’s passing in 2019 marked a turning point, Welch continued forward as a solo artist, carrying the legacy of the duo into new recordings and live shows. This page covers their biography, discography highlights, and current touring status, with links to official channels for fans to follow the work of Welch as a solo artist and the broader blues scene.
