Charley Crockett

Charley Crockett, a prolific musician since 2005, has made significant strides in his career with an impressive discography of twelve studio albums since 2015. Both "Lil G.L.'s Blue Bonanza" and "The Man from Waco" have broken into the US Billboard charts, peaking at number 11 on the Blues Albums chart and breaking into the Billboard 200, respectively. His debut album, "A Stolen Jewel," won the Dallas Observer Music Award for Best Blues Act, setting the tone for a successful career. Despite a life-threatening health scare in early 2019, Crockett returned to the studio and produced the album "Welcome to Hard Times," a testament to his resilience and commitment to his craft.

Over the years, Crockett's talent has earned him recognition from the industry. His first Grammy Award nomination came in 2025 for "$10 Cowboy," and he was nominated for Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year at the 2023 Americana Music Honors & Awards. Prior to these nominations, Crockett had already won the Emerging Artist of the Year at the same awards in 2021. His contribution to the music industry was further recognized with the Stephen Bruton Award at The Lone Star Film Festival in 2023.

Crockett's live performances have been well-received by audiences. He made his debut on "Austin City Limits" in October 2021 and has performed on other notable platforms such as "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and NPR's Tiny Desk Concert series. Crockett's release of "Live From The Ryman," a live album and concert film in September 2023, further highlights his abilities as a live performer.
