Leon Bridges is very pleased to announce details of a full UK and European tour for later this year in support of his forthcoming second album, Good Thing.
The young Fort Worth R&B artist will head out in October and November for seventeen dates, kicking off at Neue Theaterfabrik in Munich on the 23rd October and concluding at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on the 17th November.
A special, intimate London show at Jazz Café on the 9th April sold out instantly.
Listen to “Bet Ain’t Worth the Hand” & “Bad Bad News” here
Good Thing is born from the song “Bad Bad News”, which contains the line “They say that I was born to lose, but I made a good good thing, out of bad bad news”. By now Leon’s backstory is well known; he went from working as a dishwasher and struggling through the open mic scene in his native Fort Worth, Texas to two-time Grammy nominated artist performing at the White House for President Obama, attending the Met Gala and appearing on Saturday Night Live in a two year span. Now a more experienced artist, this album showcases a man’s continued rise from little opportunity to embracing the world stage.
If Coming Home was Leon Bridges in black and white, then Good Thing is Leon Bridges in technicolour.
