Closing out the four-part Songwriter’s Café virtual benefit concert series, O’Charley’s Restaurant + Bar hosted featured artists, as well as Folded Flag staff to share the outcomes of the concerts and thank the artists for their help.

O’Charley’s CEO Craig Barber and Vice Chairman of the Board for Folded Flag Fred Schremp hosted the cocktail party to thank featured musical artists for participating in O’Charley’s Songwriters Café. Several other artists who were integral to the project were also present, including: Lee Brice, Teddy Robb, and Elaina Smith (Host, “Nights with Elaina” on 103-3 Country).

In 2020, O’Charley’s raised over $575,000 for the Folded Flag Foundation with help from the artists who graciously gave their time to participate in Songwriters Café. Folded Flag provides educational scholarships and grants to Gold Star families who have lost a loved one in military combat, and O’Charley’s has proudly donated over $1.6 million to them since 2016.

A three-time recipient of the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Resophonic Guitar Player of the Year award, Phil Leadbetter has signed with Mountain Home Music Company.

“I am so happy to be part of the Mountain Home family,” says Leadbetter. “I know quite a few of the artists on the roster there, and I know they are all top notch — and that says a lot about this great label. I’m looking forward to the future!”

“I’ve known Phil for a quarter of a century,” says Mountain Home’s Jon Weisberger. “When he first reached out to me about joining the Mountain Home family, I was thrilled at the prospect of getting him on board. He has earned the respect of so many people in this industry, not only for his determination in the face of challenges, but for his big-hearted enthusiasm for and encouragement of his colleagues young and old — and above all, for his creativity.”

Leadbetter’s first project with Mountain Home, Masters of Slide: Spider Sessions, features a compilation of music from a cross-genre array of guitar masters.
