Leon Thomas Brings ‘Mutts Don’t Heel’ Tour to Atlanta
Leon Thomas Brings His Grammy-Nominated Rock-N-Soul Talents To Atlanta For ‘Mutts Don’t Heel’ Tour [Exclusive]
It was a brisk 40-degree night in the streets of the city that culturally clueless outsiders still refer to as “Hotlanta” but no icy temperature was going to stop music lovers from witnessing the talents one of the best new artists of this era.
Leon Thomas, who was recently nominated for six Grammys (Best R&B album, Album of The Year, Best New Artist, Best R&B Performance, Best Traditional R&B Performance, and Best R&B Song), the most by any R&B artist this year, took the stage at downtown Atlanta’s famous Tabernacle to deliver a soulful and string-shredding performance of his career works.
From the moment the lights fell and the band took the stage, the crowd was primed for a euphoric release as Thomas’ style of rhythm and blues is as raw as it is romantic. Soulful vocal runs meet visceral guitar solos in coordination with primal drum breaks creating a unique atmosphere that signals the potential direction of Black music in the coming years.
If the electric guitar, specifically the iconic Fender Stratocaster, is to return to prominence in the mainstream, there is no doubt that Thomas will be credited as one of the catalysts for its restored glory. Several times during his set, the Brooklyn, New York native riffed alongside his bandmates as a soloist on both guitar and drums
While the majority-Black audience was clearly engaged, there were multiple moments where the energy in the room reached higher and higher peaks, specifically during “Blue Hundreds” and “Sneak” from his 2023 album Electric Dusk. However, no song got a bigger response from ladies in the house than when Thomas played his MUTT favorite “Yes It Is”, someone’s son definitely benefitted from the sexy vibes coming from the venue’s speakers. Someone’s son should say, “Thank you, Leon Thomas.”
