Charley Crockett at Choctaw Grand Theater

Charley Crockett was born in Texas, re-located soon afterwards to New Orleans. He left school at 17 and with absolutely no musical training, but his own good ear for flavorsome tunes and chords, started busking the streets of New Orleans, wandering over to Paris, Spain and Morocco. Along the way he taught himself to composer and write and sing his songs until today he is an accomplished and renowned singer-songwriter, a Blues Player, sings country and is somewhat of a guitarist and banjoist.

In 2015, he returned to the United States and started recording albums in a serious way. Since then, he has successfully launched 11 albums, a single extended play, a whole host of music videos and has notched up three awards – The American Music and Honors award in 2021, the Best Country Music of the Year and the Best Musician of the Year, both in 2022. Charley Crockett now rubs ears with and shares stages and plays the same concert venues as Willie Nelson, Allison Russell and Britney Spears. With a record of no musical training except the drive to succeed, this exceptional, talented musician has risen to the highest of musical entertainment.
