He is the real thing. He is a superb songwriter. He is not a presumptuous star, but a natural, raw talent that is a throwback to all kinds of things. He is Aaron Neville, Elvis Presley, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, and Miles Davis all rolled into one. He is that stop-the-show kind of greatness.
You’ve heard his tracks, but nothing can prepare you for just how incredible Leon Bridges’ live performances are.
When Leon Bridges broke into the industry with his 2015 album “Coming Home”, it was clear that something absolutely magical was on the cards. The album peaked at number six on the Billboard 200, went platinum, and earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best R&B Album. His subsequent albums, “Good Thing” and “Gold-Diggers Sound”, also earned Grammy Award nominations. In 2019, Leon Bridges was the recipient of the Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B Performance.
Leon Bridges’ songs are stories, told straight from the heart – quiet ones like “Georgia to Texas”, magical love ones like “Beyond”, and sexy ones like “Mrs”. His unique blend of Southern-style soul, gospel, and R&B is mesmerizing and enchanting, genuine and focused.
Leon Bridges will be tapping into the new album, “Leon”, on his tour, with his band adding a richness to the music. This is the one performance you do not want to miss – Leon Bridges will have you grooving to his music weeks after the show!
The mellow, Latin-Swiss instrumental band, Hermanos Gutiérrez, will be performing as special guest artists. Their music is a unique mixture of Latin and Western music, tied together with a musical chemistry unlike any other. Hermanos Gutiérrez’s minimal approach has been described by Rolling Stone as “music that sings without needing a singer, that’s lyrical without needing words”.
The world-class amphitheatre, the Greek Theatre, has been hailed as the United States’ longest-running amphitheatre to date. Nestled in the foothills of Berkeley and with an exceptional view of San Francisco Bay, the theatre can host up to 8,500 patrons, with seating in the style of an ancient amphitheatre, spread across fixed seats and a raised lawn area.
