On the back of just three singles, Forth Worth’s Leon Bridges has been selling out shows across the country.

Kid has plenty of soul. If he comes to your town, I highly recommend going to see him.

Looks like the article skipped over some of the tour dates. But He's not listed on the bill for the New Orleans show but he is playing both the show before and after with Lord Huron

Thanks for the heads up. I saw him open for Lord Huron as The Ryman and he was every bit as good as Lord Huron.

People who went to that show said Leon Bridges blew Lord Huron out of the water.

Picked up on this fella on a cool radio station in Mobile on my way back from Orange Beach. I am very happy that this music is getting out there.
