The country and western superstar returns to Australia after his mind-blowing sold-out shows here in early 2023. The Man from Waco, Charley Crockett, will deliver a scorching night of country classics – oozing Americana and drenched in timeless classic tales. Charley’s neo-traditional country swagger lassos the listener into dreamlike nostalgic westerns of wandering, whiskey, and the wild, wild west. Look out Byron Bay – he’s on his way! On the back of releasing ‘That’s What Makes The World Go Around’, Charley’s barnstorming duet with beloved redheaded stranger, Willie Nelson, the Texan legend will set the country ablaze with his smouldering ballads and razor-sharp songs this summer.
