Phil Leadbetter

I want to announce that after nearly 3 years on the road with Flashback, I am no longer a member of that group. I had a great time traveling and playing music with all the guys, and recording our first album "Foxhounds And Fiddles". I was proud to be a founding member of that band, but at this time in my life I am ready to move on to other musical paths and ideas. One plan is to finally start my own band. I have been a founding member of several bands (Wildfire, Grasstowne and Flashback), but never my own. Time to finally do this. Look for new music in 2018.
