Leon Bridges

On November 12, 2024, Grammy Award-winning artist Leon Bridges returned to Music City for a highly anticipated three-night residency at the historic Ryman Auditorium. In celebration of this milestone, Bridges and his team generously donated a Tobacco Burst Gibson J-45 guitar—used during the creation and promotion of his latest album, Leon, released on October 4, 2024. The donation also includes a signed vinyl copy of the album, now part of the museum’s collection.
