Grammy-nominated Texas troubadour Charley Crockett brings his one-of-a-kind “Gulf & Western” sound - blending country, soul, blues and other strains of American music through his singular prism - to Café Carlyle for the very first time, in a limited three-night engagement October 16–18, 2025.
“Street busker turned critically acclaimed singer-songwriter turned actual country star” (Rolling Stone), Crockett has never asked permission to chase his dreams. From busking on NYC subways and playing for tips on Louisiana sidewalks to selling out iconic venues including Red Rocks, the Greek Theatre, the Hollywood Bowl, and back-to-back nights at the Ryman Auditorium, he’s forged a singular path, taking his “Gulf & Western” sound worldwide.
With multi-GRAMMY® Award-winner Shooter Jennings as co-producer, Crockett is building The Sagebrush Trilogy, which began with his Island Records debut Lonesome Drifter and continues with the newly released Dollar A Day. Known for his rich baritone, raw authenticity, and storyteller’s soul, he’s earned praise from The New Yorker, The New York Times, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Variety, and more. His journey has been chronicled on CBS Mornings and The Daily Show, with performances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Austin City Limits, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and NPR’s Tiny Desk.
With hundreds of millions of streams, 14 independent albums, and his first GRAMMY® nomination earlier this year, Crockett is redefining what it means to be a modern American songwriter. His Manhattan debut at Café Carlyle promises an intimate and unforgettable evening with one of the country’s most compelling voices.
