A very nice article in Bluegrass Today. Read below:

Phil Leadbetter And The All-Stars Of Bluegrass Track Premiere.

I want to thank all voting members who voted me the 2020 SPBGMA "Dobro Player Of The Year". It is a true honor !!!!

We have been working this past week on the new Allstars Of Bluegrass CD at Eastwood Studios in Galax, VA. Very proud of the songs we have laid down this week. We also did out CD and promo photo shoot. Will share some of these photos with you as soon as they are released. Lot's more to come!

Here is a couple more photos from the 2019 IBMA Awards Show from The Duke Energy Center in Raleigh, NC

It was a real honor to play at halftime during the Tennessee / Mississippi State Football game on October 12th at Neyland Stadium with my dear friends Steve Gulley, Gary "Biscuit" Davis, Matt Flake, Bryan Turner and Gary Robinson. Very surreal to be standing on that field in front of the largest crowd I have ever performed in front of. Hope to do it again...the crowd loved it! What a HUGE bucket list item  checked off !!!!!

Certainly a bucket list item for me. I had seen and heard this iconic guitar on many records/CDs  during my life. The first time when I was only 11 years old. I finally got to play it for the first time during the IBMA. Bucket list item !

Well......I am a little late announcing, but as of September 26th, I was voted IBMA "Resonator Guitar Player Of The Year". This came as a huge shock to me. I had just got the news 1 week earlier that I was in remission after return of my cancer this past Summer which almost took my life. I am now a 5-time survivor. Winning the IBMA Award was just icing on the cake. Turned a bad year into a great year for me. God has been good to me.

Phil Leadbetter And The Allstar's Of Bluegrass has started on their first debut CD for Pinecastle Records. Phil has recorded 7 CDs with them over the last couple of decades. Project is being recorded at Eastwood Studios in Cana, VA with engineer Wes Easter. Looking forward to get our first band recording out. We have some great material. Stay tuned.

Very pleased that after nearly 5 years of design and development, the new Recording King "Phil Leadbetter" Signature Resonator Guitar has been released to the public. This is an awesome guitar at a very affordable price. They are selling fast! Be sure and check them out. You will be amazed at what a nice guitar at such a incredible price!!  www.recordingking.com
