Watch: Leon Bridges rocks Bonnaroo with cover of Ginuwine's 'Pony'

Leon Bridges played one of the biggest stages in his career over the weekend at Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester, Tenn. The fest, which has built a reputation as the Coachella of the Eastern U.S., annually draws about 80,000 people, so yes, it's an opportunity to pull out all the stops.

Bridges, a Fort Worth native, ran through tracks from his debut album, Coming Home, as well as new tunes, twisting and grooving in his now-signature dance style.

But Bridges also diverted from the classic '60s and '70s vibes with a cover of Ginuwine's "Pony."
