Leon Bridges is ready to bring his own R&B style and effortless croon on tour, much to the delight of fans aross the country.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Leon Bridges was born in Atlanta, GA in 1989, though he grew up in Fort Worth, TX. He began writing songs at a young age, learning simple guitar chords to accompany his lyrics. He was working as a dishwasher and playing open mic nights when he happened to befriend White Denim guitarist Austin Jenkins. With Jenkins’ assistance and vintage equipment, the singer was able to cut demo versions of “Coming Home” and “Lisa Sawyer” in 2014. After receiving over 800,000 streams of these songs, the singer signed with Columbia Records, promptly releasing “Coming Home” in 2015 as his first single. An album of the same name arrived in June and garnered critical acclaim for the songwriter’s classic style and poised songwriting. With fans eagerly awaiting a follow-up to his smash debut, Bridges continues to amass an ever-growing fanbase with his spiritually moving live performances on tour.

by Mehling on 2016-03-18Orpheum Theatre - VancouverFantastic show by an incredible talent - I hope his career continues to rise. The backing band was brlliant, and Leon's singing and dancing ability brought the audience back to the late 50's / early 60s. What a show! Go see him if you have the chance. 10 out of 10 concert.

by Leor on 2016-03-13Massey Hall - TorontoAnticipated the Leon Bridges show for four months and Leon did not disappoint. His singing style is a throw back to the 50's and 60's R&B stars....Sam Cooke....Little Stevie Wonder.....Jackie Wilson.....Little Willie John to name a few. The show was high energy and soft ballads mixed with some blues scattered about. His band was tight and a treat to enjoy..JUST MARVELLOUS......JUST MARVELLOUS

by ebonysweets on 2015-11-06Commodore Ballroom - VancouverLeon Bridges' music is pure and soulful. He is definitely an up and comer and I will be attending his show in Vancouver, BC in the Spring 2016. My only complaint was that it was inaudible when he spoke to the crowd - we were unable to hear what he was saying. Regardless of this, his music was so good and filled with soul and passion that it did not matter. He was engaging and entertaining. Happy that I went and that I discovered this artist before he goes more mainstream. I bought his album for my father who was born in the 1940s - he loved him. Leon, do not lose your humility as you turn into the next big act! Overall an amazing show and highly recommended.
