Leon Bridges is the 'out of almost nowhere' story that only comes along once in a while. It was only last summer that Leon was singing open mics in his hometown Fort Worth, TX. One of those open mics was attended by Austin Jenkins and Josh Block of the notable indie band White Denim who were absolutely floored by Leon's voice, songs, and creative vision. They soon after set-up shop in a makeshift studio and recorded the album's opener "Coming Home" completely live to tape. This first take is exactly what you hear opening the album. Leon's soulful, movement based performances and adept backing band garnered strong reviews from a variety of top-level media including The New York Times, Billboard and Grantland among many others.
