Leon Bridges, son of Fort Worth, sang “Texas Sun” on the streets of the Bishop Arts District over the weekend.
In clips that emerged on social media, Bridges sat on a chair and strummed a guitar as he performed the song, a 2020 collaboration with Houston band Khruangbin. He also swung by Spinster Records to pose for a photograph holding a CD of his 2015 breakout album, Coming Home.
His performance recalled a time when he busked around North Texas before his rise to fame. Now 36, he has strayed far from home on tours but always returns.
