The Havalinas
The Havalinas are an American gypsy-folk-rock band from California, formed in 1989 in Los Angeles by Tim Scott McConnell and Stephen Dennis Smith (Smutty Smiff) - former bandmates in Levi and the Rockats, a punk-styled rockabilly group.[1] After four months of rehab, Smith travelled back from Arizona to find McConnell quitting the music business, making a living as a doorman and housekeeper.[citation needed]
The band achieved success and toured with the Beat Farmers, Bob Dylan, Chris Isaak, Tina Turner, and Crowded House.
In 2014, Bruce Springsteen covered the song "High Hopes"[2] on an album of the same name, which ranked number one in 15 countries. Springsteen said that he is "the biggest fan" of McConnell's talent.[3]
