Matt Leadbetter to Marty Rabon
We just got a note from Uncle Phil – Phil Leadbetter, that is – dobro man with Grasstowne, and proud papa of fellow resonator guitarist Matt Leadbetter.
We reported over the weekend that Matt had left Lonesome River Band, largely to spend more time at home with his wife and young son. Phil wanted to let us know that Matt just took the gig with Marty Raybon & Full Circle.
“Marty’s schedule and logistics seemed to work better with Matt. He had a wonderful time with the LRB, and it was a very hard decision to leave. He is looking forward to the new page in his career with Marty Raybon.”
Matt is actually a third generation bluegrass picker. Not only is his dad a prominent professional picker, his grandfather John Leadbetter was a banjo player.
Must be something in the water…
