Leon Bridges & Charley Crockett at Coca Cola Amphitheater

The Crooner & The Cowboy Tour

Discover new frontiers born of dust-swept tradition with Leon Bridges & Charley Crockett this Wednesday, September 17, 2025, at the Coca-Cola Amphitheater, featuring guests Dave Alvin & Jimmie Dale Gilmore with the Guilty Ones! Two Texan tastemakers plus twenty stops equals the most anticipated co-headlining event of the season. "The Crooner & The Cowboy" Tour, made in partnership with Live Nation, will span a summer stretch in the United States and Canada following its smash hit Hollywood Bowl debut. Starting in small club joints, Bridges and Crockett chased after the dream together for the better part of a decade. Their forthcoming tour will give them a chance to come full circle, selling out big-name venues and amphitheaters nationwide while celebrating the exquisite music of their shared heritage. 

No one tells a story like Leon Bridges. The Grammy-winning songwriter borrows from old-school R&B greats such as Otis Redding, recounting life experiences in a refreshingly impassioned voice. His performance will revolve around a strong showing of ‘60s soul and nostalgia through "Texas Sun," "River," and "Beyond, with more evocative songs going down his ten-year discography. He struck Platinum and Gold with his first studio albums, Coming Home (2015) and Good Thing (2018), and continued mining success in subsequent releases up to his latest eponymous title, Leon (2024), which showcased the hit single "Laredo."

On the other end of the stage is country troubadour Charley Crockett of Grammy-nominated $10 Cowboy fame. What he brings to this Wednesday night is a vast grasp of the Americana mythos, distilled into his most recent Triple-A Top 25 hits, "Solitary Road," and the title track from his new album under Island Records, Lonesome Drifter (2025). Known for ruminative forays into roots music, Charley offers earthy, brooding acoustics by virtue of his signature anthems, including "Jamestown Ferry," "Welcome to Hard Times," and "Game I Can't Win."

Grammy Award winner Dave Alvin ("King of California," "Harlan County Line") will open, so expect some rounds of stalwart rockabilly and roots-rock tunes. Alvin's long-time partner, prog-country icon Jimmie Dale Gilmore, and their band, the Guilty Ones, complete the lineup with their slate of collaborative tracks: "Trying To Be Free," "Downey to Lubbock," and more.
