Leon Bridges, the Grammy-winning R&B artist, is coming to Roadrunner Boston on August 16 and 17.

Bridges is touring in support of last year’s Gold-Diggers Sound — the disc he told Rolling Stone was his “most sensual and confident album to date.” 

The Georgia-based artist started his career dishwashing, busking and playing open mic shows in Fort Worth, Texas before he secured a record deal in 2014.

Bridges’ soul- and R&B-influenced debut album Coming Home, released in 2015, received a Grammy nomination. His song “Be Ain’t Worth the Hand,” from his 2018 album Good Thing, won a Grammy for best traditional R&B performance.

Bridges, who’s been touring Europe this summer before returning to the states in July and August, drew rave reviews during the tour’s initial shows last year.

“Bridges’ show-stopping voice rang true throughout,” wrote Lori Fredrich of OnMilwaukee.com about his show there last September. “He crooned. He purred. He floated sensually through the pick-up lines inherent to ‘Details’ and pulled out all the sexy baby-making vibes during the provocative love ballad ‘Motorbike.'”

So if sexy baby-making vibes are your thing, this is the show for you. Bridges will be touring with Swedish electronic band Little Dragons.
