Charley Crockett will take his new album The Man From Waco, out Friday via Son of Davy/Thirty Tigers, on the road this fall with an accompanying tour, the country revivalist announced on Tuesday. The run of over two dozen concerts marks his biggest North American tour to date, with headlining shows at Ryman Auditorium, Mission Ballroom, ACL Live at The Moody, and more.
The stretch of shows begins on November 12th in Helotes, TX and will feature cross-country concerts through the end of December when Crockett wraps his touring year at the Choctaw Casinos & Resorts‘ Grand Theater in Durant, OK on the 30th. Crockett is currently out on the road as part of Willie Nelson‘s traveling Outlaw Music Festival.
The Man From Waco will arrive as Crockett’s second album of the year and fourth since 2020. Unsurprisingly, the vintage country singer-songwriter recorded the LP the old-fashioned way by recording the songs live to tape with his backing band Blue Drifters.
“I just wanted an honest partnership: do it at your place, live to tape, everybody in the room,” Crockett said of his work with Austin producer Bruce Robison. “The magic is in the performances on that tape. That’s what Bruce wanted to do, that’s what I wanted to do. When we were done, I said ‘these are masters, not demos.’”
Tickets for the Charley Crocket The Man From Waco Tour go on sale to the general public on Friday at 10 a.m. local time. See below for a full list of dates.
