Charley Crockett

Texas-born Charley Crockett has defied the odds at every turn, tapping into a rebellious strain of country, releasing 14 albums independently, and grinding from obscurity to selling out some of the world’s most renowned venues. Since 2015, he has paved a singular path out of Texas. Beyond garnering hundreds of millions of streams, he picked up his first GRAMMY® nod for 2024’s “$10 Cowboy.”

In the last year alone, he notably sold-out Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado, the Greek Theater in Los Angeles, CA and two nights at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN. Crockett and his music have also received praise from The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, and Variety. Speaking to his impact, “CBS Mornings” chronicled his journey, and he sat down for an interview on “The Daily Show.” He’s also performed on “Austin City Limits,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and "CBS Saturday Sessions” in addition to playing behind NPR Music’s “Tiny Desk.” With multi-GRAMMY® Award-winning Shooter Jennings as co-producer, the same unapologetic spirit, diehard work ethic, and no-nonsense honesty drive Crockett’s Island Records debut LP, “Lonesome Drifter.” Now Evansville fans can catch the "Lonesome Drifter” as he passes through town this spring.
