Love Police are thrilled to announce the debut Australian tour by the exceptionally talented Texan singer song-writer Charley Crockett and his band.

A poor kid from south Texas whose ancestry traces back to Davy Crockett, Charley cut his teeth busking on the streets of New Orleans and the subway platforms of New York City. Today, Crockett has honed a colourful stage persona with a distinctly retro flair, complete with vintage pearl-snap shirts, high-waisted slacks and a homespun, irreverent sense of humour.

This May Crockett will embark on his highly-anticipated first Australian tour, bringing his rootsy take on Americana music to intimate venues in Melbourne, Castlemaine, Sydney and Newcastle as well as appearing at Blues on Broadbeach on the Gold Coast. Up and coming star, Sierra Ferrell, will be a special guest at all shows except Gold Coast.

Crockett released his latest album, Charley Crockett presents Lil G.L.’s Blue Bonanza via Thirty Tigers in December last year, his second album release of 2018. Lil G.L.’s Blue Bonanza pays tribute to Crockett’s busking days, with an album stocked with his own interpretations of old-school country songs and half-forgotten blues gems. Featuring 15 songs originally performed by George Jones, Ernest Tubb, T-Bone Walker, Jimmy Reed, Charles Brown, Lavelle White, Ray Charles, and others, Blue Bonanza shines a light on a modern musician with traditional roots. It’s also the second release in his ongoing Lil G.L. series, following 2017’s Lil G.L.’s Honky Tonk Jubilee.
