In the past week, Texas-based singer-songwriter Charley Crockett has proven once again that he is a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. The 37-year-old artist recently completed a 3-night residency at the Café Carlyle, one of Manhattan's most exclusive and longest-running supper clubs, where the city's social elite have gathered since 1955 to wine, dine, and be entertained.
Crockett, who is known for his ability to captivate audiences with his unique blend of country, blues, and Americana, delighted the Café Carlyle crowd with songs from his recent albums, Lonesome Drifter and Dollar a Day. The artist, who has been making a name for himself by consistently defying expectations, also took the opportunity to reflect on his early days busking in New York City, where he first honed his craft on the streets of the Big Apple.
"I found out that everybody in Brooklyn hates the G Train," Crockett told the audience, recounting his experiences as a "vagabond" musician. "Those trains only come every 10 or 12 minutes. But, see, for a vagabond like me, that's exactly where I want to be. Because I had your ass."

Despite the high-society setting of the Café Carlyle, Crockett remained true to his roots, reminding the crowd that he's "ain't left, and I ain't right" – he's simply "on the road." The artist's ability to navigate the music industry's "high-stakes, high-money game" with his signature charm and authenticity has earned him a loyal following, and his Café Carlyle residency was a testament to his growing influence in the industry.
