The Fort Worth native’s velvety vocals and 60’s soul feel will have any music fiend singing along to his tracks. Going into the concert, I was interested to see if Leon Bridges would be […]

Have you ever wondered what Tame Impala would sound like if Kevin Parker continued in the musical direction of Innerspeaker? I like to think that the Chicago-based Post Animal is the answer to that question.
