Charley Crockett

Charley Crockett taps into Americana mythos in his music, which suits someone who is a distant relative of Davy Crockett. Originally a blues singer, in time Crockett explored other American roots music, incorporating soul, gospel, and especially country. His distinctive, earthy signature can be heard on Lonesome as a Shadow, a 2018 LP that helped him consolidate a following in the Americana circuit. Signing a deal with Thirty Tigers with 2019's The Valley, Crockett became one of the hardest-working musicians in America. His 2022 album The Man from Waco expanded his following, snagging three Americana Music Honors & Awards nominations and setting the stage for the dual 2024 releases $10 Cowboy and Visions of Dallas. Crockett made his debut for Island Records the following year with Lonesome Drifter, and he prolifically released new albums like 2026's Age of the Ram and the Atlantic-released Clovis.
