PHIL LEADBETTER UPDATE:
At least two different benefits have been scheduled to help offset medical expenses for Phil Leadbetter. Phil, the resophonic guitar player for The Whites and formerly Grasstowne was recently diagnosed with lymphoma (it is still unknown as to which type).
Details of the benefits are still being formed and subject to change but we will continue to post updates periodically as the information becomes available.
