Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter Leon Bridges gave a shoutout to a local coffee shop in the release of his newest single.
The song, called “Summer Moon,” was “inspired by this coffee shop called Summer Moon near my home,” said Bridges, who is from and still resides in Fort Worth.
In a press release for the new song that dropped on Friday, Bridges said his friends frequented the coffee shop during the pandemic and it inspired the song that “is about searching for connection with someone despite the fear of living during that time.”
The coffee shop chain, which first opened in Austin in 2005, has two locations in Fort Worth and a handful of others around D-FW. It’s known for its wood-fired coffee roasting method and its house-made creamer called Moon Milk.
Summer Moon Coffee could not immediately be reached for comment.
Bridges recorded the bilingual song with Mexican indie singer Kevin Kaarl who he first discovered during the early days of the pandemic. “Summer Moon,” which is their first collaboration together, is an homage to Texas’ “special artistic relationship with Mexico,” Bridges said.
