Charley Crockett to perform at The St. Augustine Amphitheatre on Monday, August 26, 2024. He’s hailed as a “must-see live performer” by Rolling Stone and a “force to be reckoned with” by CMT.

Crockett crafts his singular “Gulf & Western” sound — described as “very 21st century and very vintage” by NPR Music — by synthesizing country, blues, soul, Cajun, R&B and other pieces of American Roots music.  And … when his voice comes out of your speakers, there is no confusing him for any other artist.  As the Wall Street Journal writes, “Mr. Crockett’s unique vocal style is one third Ernest Tubb honky-tonk with clipped-word diction, one third Bill Withers low-key, soulful crooning, and one third jazzy French Quarter second-line swagger.”

With his latest album ‘$10 Cowboy’, Crockett didn’t set out to make a themed record. He had released a concept album in 2022, the critically acclaimed ‘The Man From Waco’, propelling Crockett to new heights and establishing him as one of the leaders of a sparkling revival of traditional country and folk music.  For the follow up album, Crockett wrote freely, over a two-month period, as he wound his way across the United States on the back of a tour bus.  The resulting songs — raw, personal, vivid portraits of a country in transition — ended up being
connected after all.  “This material is written at truck stops, it’s written at casinos, it’s written in the alleys behind the venues, it’s written in my truck parked up on South Congress in Austin,” explains Crockett. “A ramblin’ man like me, a genuine transient, is in a pretty damn good position to have something to say about America.”
