Ladies and Gentlemen…Leon Bridges

If you don't know who Leon Bridges is then you will, and I am glad you heard him hear first. For those of you that do know Leon Bridges you know he has a golden sound from era long past. The opening track is called Daisy May. We start the podcast off talking about opening up for Macy Gray at the Granada Theater. We talk about how he became friends with Jake Paleschic, Jeff Dazey, and White Denim.  We talk about his songs Lisa Sawyer, Coming Home and Lonely Road which he wrote for a local independent film called Melville. He plays Lonely Road at the halfway point of the show. We talk about being part of season 3 of the Chevy Music Showcase - North Texas, having a song played on Sirius XM, and some European love. Also theres the Men of Fairmount car wash at the chat room gig he played, a trip to New Orleans, Arts Goggle, house shows  and a showcase coming up November 11 in Nashville Tn. We talk about the new album he is recording at a warehouse in Shipping & Receiving. You can hear some songs from the Shipping & Receiving sessions on soundcloud.

Leon is a really cool guy. He has a cool style, a laid back humble attitude, and a great sound. The closing track is another brand new one called (on the spot he titled it) Pull Away. This dude oozes talent. You can find links to all his social media sites at http://www.leonbridges.com/
