Leon Bridges Performs "Coming Home" In An Old Courthouse

Watch Leon Bridges Perform A Powerful Acoustic Take Of "Coming Home" Live From The Old Bronx Borough Courthouse

Over the last handful of months, Texan singer and modern-day soul man Leon Bridges has proven that his retro-fit soul stuff sounds perfectly at home where ever you get to hear it. Whether onstage at studio 8H in Roc Center, on Parisian streets or your living-room speakers, Bridges' sound is one that resonates with much warmth and heaps of nostalgia. And if those venues didn't prove themselves adequate enough for your eyes and ears, perhaps this new clip of Bridges crooning the day away in an old Bronx relic will do the trick. Here you'll find the young bluesman pent-up, six-string in-hand, tenderly belting his hit single "Coming Home" in the old Bronx Borough Courthouse; a stunning turn-of-the-century building that's only recently been reopened to the public after nearly 40 years of sealed doors. And this may just be the most fitting stage yet for such a deceptively deep cut, performed in one take and opened with a powerful piece of prose. Watch, look and listen as Leon Bridges powerfully performs "Coming Home" in and old Bronx landmark down below and grab a copy of his debut album on iTunes today for the full course.
