Texas singer Leon Bridges emerged in 2015 as a compelling throwback, featuring everything from the shoes on his feet to the croon on his lips, paying homage to a faded era of classic soul. In his more recent work, including last year’s downtempo LP Gold-Diggers Sound, the singer effectively brought his time machine into the present, covering a wide range of soul music in the process. On August 18, Bridges made headlines at Forest Hills Stadium with an opening set by Swedish electro-pop band Little Dragon.
