Watch: Leon Bridges plays pop-up acoustic set after Sasquatch festival cancellation

The wind in central Washington was apparently a force to be reckoned with over the weekend.

On Sunday, during the Sasquatch Music Festival, a wildfire broke out near the event grounds and strong winds prompted organizers to close the main stage for several hours, according to the Seattle Times.

Fort Worth soul singer Leon Bridges was scheduled to perform, but his set was cancelled due to the aforementioned circumstances. The 26-year-old, however, he didn't let that derail him.
