On the back of just three singles, Forth Worth’s Leon Bridges has been selling out shows across the country. His last gig at New York City’s Mercury Ballroom reportedly sold out in just one minute flat. At South by Southwest this year, he nabbed the Grulke Prize for Excellence Now, the rising soul singer will bring on the flood with his debut full-length album, Coming Home, due out June 23rd via Columbia Records.
The three previously released tracks — “Better Man”, “Lisa Sawyer”, and the title track — will all feature on the record. Produced by White Denim’s Austin Jenkins and Josh Block, the album is sure to be filled out with more of Bridge’s timeless R&B and soul tunes.

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

Damn...He was supposed to open for Lord Huron in NOLA on May 8th...Guess that's not happening....

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

Love this guy. Shows are tight, great songs, great voice. Hope he lives up to SXSW hype.

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.

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.
