LEON BRIDGES: ‘Coming Home’ soul singer on tour Isaac Weeks for Triangle Today For someone whose music is far from controversial, Leon Bridges found himself mired in quite the complicated debate on race and rodeos earlier this year.

Weekday mornings can be hectic, but don’t forget that kids need a healthy breakfast to begin their day! Here are some quick and nutritious ideas from our friends at Glean to get your back to school mornings off to the right start.

1. Heart “Beet” Pancakes Let your gang know how much you love them and give them a healthy breakfast by making these heart shaped pancakes in the morning. Banana, peanut butter, sweet potato flour, and a dash of beet flour for coloring make this recipe a big hit with kids. Top with butter, maple syrup, fruit, or whatever is your favorite!

2. Cinnamon Honey Nut Granola This yummy granola takes only 25 minutes to make and can be kept in the pantry to use throughout the week. The combination of rolled oats, walnuts, pecans, honey, and other delicious and nutritious ingredients will make your kids forget they are eating healthy.

3. Smoothie Bowl Kids love smoothies, so why not start the day with this healthy and refreshing treat? It’s got Greek yogurt, strawberries, blueberries, nut butter, and even some spinach in there. It offers great taste and energy for the rest of the morning.

4. Berry Oatmeal Bars These bars are packed with nutrition and perfect to make ahead for those really busy mornings.

Made with old-fashioned rolled oats, brown sugar, pumpkin flour, strawberries, and blueberries, these breakfast treats are topped with a vanilla and powdered sugar glaze. They’re easy to grab and go to eat in the car or on the bus.

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo has grown a reputation over the decades as being one of the preeminent musical events in the country, let alone Texas. With audience numbers totaling more than 1 million attendees by the final show of the 20day run, the Rodeo’s insistence on booking heavy toward country music acts has always been a sour spot among the local African-American community.

So when Bridges was booked for the Rodeo’s Black Heritage Day, the decision was met with an outcry from Houston residents that took many by surprise.

Bridges’ 2015 debut album, “Coming Home,” saw great success behind the strength of the singer’s brand of retro-soul, earning him a Grammy nomination and landing at the top of Billboard’s hip-hop and R&B charts. But some say he has failed to cultivate a significant following within the African-American community. Months later, Bridges still receives very little exposure within African-American pop culture.

Bridges, whose second album, “Good Thing,” in 2016 was critically acclaimed, will perform at Red Hat Amphitheater in downtown Raleigh Aug. 27.

But here are some bits of trivia about the vocalist that points toward his gritty origins.

1. Leon Bridges is a stage name.

Well, at least the Leon portion of it is. It seems that Bridges’ father was — no joke — a big fan of the ‘80s TV sitcom “Diff’rent Strokes” and decided he would name his kid after Willis himself, Todd Bridges. Leon Bridges, in an interview with the Toronto Sun, elaborated on the name change. “There was this actor named Leon (Robinson) in films like ‘The Temptations and The Five Heartbeats,’ and when I started writing songs, I was like, ‘Todd is a little weird.’ So I went with Leon.”

Leon Bridges, whose second album, “Good Thing,” in 2016 was critically acclaimed, will perform at Red Hat Amphitheater in downtown Raleigh Aug. 27. Scott Sharpe 2. His ‘50s vibe transcends just the music.

While Bridges’ vocal stylings have been compared to such classic soul performers as Otis Redding and Sam Cooke, his taste in clothing would have fit in during their heyday as well. Discussing his wardrobe with Billboard, the singer said, “For inspiration, I go online and search ‘Chicago 1950s’ or ‘New York 1950s’. I love how, back then, wearing a suit was the norm and the way they dressed was clean and it fit.

Especially when compared to skinny jeans.”

3. He is much more familiar with ‘90s R&B than Motown.

While splitting his time as a kid between his mother and father’s homes in Fort Worth and Dallas, Bridges surrounded himself with the popular music playing on the radio at the time. He told Billboard that he was only introduced later in life to the music of those like Cooke and Redding, to whom he is now compared. “Nostalgia for me isn’t Sam Cooke,” he told the magazine, “as much as it’s listening to a Ginuwine song or hearing Dallas hip-hop and remembering dancing to it in my garage.”

LEON BRIDGES, WITH MASEGO When: 7:30 p.m., Aug. 27 Where: Red Hat Amphitheater, 500 S. McDowell St., Raleigh Cost: $25, $47.50, $65, $79.50, $182 Info: redhatamphitheater.com or 919-996-8530

Yayoi Kusama’s ‘Light of Life’ at NCMA returns

EASY ACCESS MEANS EASY LIVING.

David Menconi for Triangle Today

Simplify your kitchen with custom pull-out shelves for your existing cabinets.

An inside view of North Carolina Museum of Art’s newest acquisition, Yayoi Kusama’s “Light of Life.” Juli Leonard Since April, one of the most popular pieces of art at the NC Museum of Art has been “Light of Life,” by Japanese conceptual artist Yayoi Kusama.

During the 15-week run of “You Are Here: Light, Color, and Sound Experiences,” the blockbuster multimedia exhibit that closed last weekend, experiencing Kusama’s work involved standing in line for up to an hour.

But starting Sept. 7, “Light of Life” will have a new, permanent home — and maybe shorter lines.

Re-installing the Kusama piece coincides with breaking down and moving out the other 13 pieces from “You Are Here,” which was one of the best-attended exhibits the museum has ever had.

The museum reports it ranks fourth alltime in exhibition attendance. It is also the most-attended contemporary art exhibit the museum has ever presented.

The museum acquired the Kusama piece for its permanent collection, unveiling it this spring for “You Are Here.”
