DESCRIPTION:<h3 class="text-orange"><strong>Sunday, May 25, 2025</strong></h3> <h1 class="text-green">LEON BRIDGES</h1> <h4 class="text-green"><em>with special guest</em></h4> <h3 class="text-green">Kashus Culpepper</h3>   <strong>ABOUT LEON BRIDGES:</strong> Grammy Award winning recording artist and songwriter, Leon Bridges, brings to the stage all elements of his career spanning experiences, inspirations, and award winning catalog of songs with every performance. From working as a dishwasher and busking on the streets of his beloved Fort Worth, TX to being signed to a major label and performing at the White House for Former President Barack Obama within a two-year span, Leon has continued to push the boundaries of his career. Leon has recently released his fourth full length album Leon, out now, which includes the lead single "Peaceful Place". Recorded and produced by Ian Fitchuk (Kacey Musgraves, Maggie Rogers) at El Desierto on the outskirts of Mexico City with co-production from Daniel Tashian (Kacey Musgraves) in Nashville, Leon features 13 handcrafted tracks spotlighting Leon’s signature storytelling and organic genre alchemy. Leon unfolds as his most poignant, powerful, and personal body of work to date as the man himself takes you through the streets he knows best, the things he holds dearest, and the memories of the people and place that shaped him. This record is unmistakably Leon. Between album releases, Leon has garnered over a dozen platinum and gold certifications, stacked up billions of streams, and entrenched himself at the forefront of culture. As a sought-after collaborator, he has impressively joined forces with everyone from John Mayer and Kacey Musgraves to Lucky Daye, Noah Cyrus, Khruangbin and Carin León. Collaborating so far this year with Gunna on “clear my rain,” contributing to the Twister soundtrack with “Chrome Cowgirl,” and joining Kacey Musgraves on “Superbloom” for the extended edition of her album Deeper Well, Leon continues to position himself as musical chameleon that can bend any genre to fit into his boundless sonic universe. Now returning to the stories that made him on his fourth full-length album, Leon, he introduces his next era, elevating his artistry and vision to new heights once again. <strong><a href="https://www.leonbridges.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Learn More ></a></strong> <strong>ABOUT KASHUS CULPEPPER:</strong> Alabama-born country crooner Kashus Culpepper encompasses the sound of the South. A student and reverent purveyor of Southern music – country, soul, blues, folk, and rock – Culpepper's husky, sandpaper growl bellows like a freight train over self-penned stories that are as raw and real as they are haunting. Finding his voice in church as young as five years old, it wasn't until 2020's global pandemic that Culpepper went from listener to performer, picking up a guitar and learning cover songs to play at barrack bonfires in Rota, Spain during his deployment with the Navy. Covers soon became originals, and once he landed home on U.S. shores, Kash played dive bars up and down the Mississippi Gulf Coast, making a name for himself with the fresh-yet-reminiscent sound that oozes from his very being. Crashing into prominence now, Culpepper has already sold-out headline club shows throughout the South despite never formally releasing a single song, also opening shows nationwide for sound pioneers like Charles Wesley Godwin, Charley Crockett, and NEEDTOBREATHE. With Nashville taking notice, Culpepper found a musical home at Big Loud Records, and just dropped his first two career singles “After Me?” and “Who Hurt You.” MusicRow hails Culpepper as “thoroughly gripping,” and with the promise of more music on the way in 2024, The Tennessean predicts how one of their 10 Nashville artists you need to know for 2024's “forthcoming material could offer…significant acclaim.” <strong><a href="https://kashusculpepper.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Learn More ></a></strong> <em>Gates open at 7:00pm, Show starts at 8:00pm.</em>
