Maybe now all of my friends will stop asking for my plus-one to tomorrow's show.
Texas neo-soul crooner Leon Bridges will play mid-size venue Marathon Music Works tomorrow night (see my Critic's Pick on that here), but many fans of the up-and-coming songster were bummed to find that the show sold out not long after tickets went on sale. Well, great news for Bridges fans who snoozed and lost: He's just announced that he'll come back to Nashville just five months down the road, when he'll play the Mother Church of Country Music. Tickets for Bridges' March 2 show at the Ryman will go on sale for $30-$50 right here on Friday, Oct. 16, at noon.
If you're not hip to Bridges' debut long-player Coming Home, which was released in June, it's a record that features (to quote myself) "songs that, despite sounding like they could’ve been featured on a Stax or Motown record from half-a-century ago, are never more derivative than they are unique." In other words, good shit. Very good.
After the jump, watch Bridges' video for "Smooth Sailin'." Don't sleep on those tickets this time.

Lyrics:
Sugar
Said I like the way (like the way)
Said I like the way (like the way)
You sail your ship down
Let me be your cargo
I won't wear you down
No honey I won't
Wear you down
