Grammy winner Steve Wariner and noted studio owner John McBride have been added to the Leadership Music Dale Franklin Award salute to Jim Foglesong, Allen Reynolds and Garth Brooks, set for Sunday, Aug. 23 at the Renaissance Hotel. Wariner (co-writer of Brooks’ hit “Longneck Bottle”) joins in the tribute to Brooks with his wife Trisha Yearwood, and longtime friends Martina and John McBride, who once worked as Brooks’ tour production manager.

Reynolds-produced artists Kathy Mattea, Hal Ketchum and Crystal Gayle, songwriter Bob McDill and Cowboy Jack Clement will lead the salute to Reynolds. Colleagues celebrating Foglesong include Roy Clark, John Conlee and Lee Greenwood.

Many more luminaries are set to send video messages. Tickets to the invitation only fundraising event are nearly sold out. For more information, contact LM@leadershipmusic.org.
