CAA Signs Rising Star Charley Crockett
Taylor Grace – Charley Crockett
CAA has signed singer/songwriter Charley Crockett in all areas. The blues, country and Americana artist has put out 10 albums in the last six years, with his latest LP, Music City USA, topping the Americana Music Album chart since its Sept. 17 release.
Crockett was recently named Emerging Artist of the Year at the Americana Music Awards.
The critically-acclaimed musician has definitely seen his star rising. An announcement from CAA points out that Crockett has racked up 90 million lifetime streams in the U.S. across all major DSPs, “with 74 million of those streams accumulating since the beginning of the pandemic.”
Box office reports submitted to Pollstar for Crockett include a Sept. 15 show at Brighton Music Hall in Boston that sold 544 tickets and grossed $12,564. On June 19 he played a reduced capacity show at Whitewater Amphitheater in New Braunfels, Texas, that sold 1,380 tickets and grossed $43,772.
Crocket is managed by Bruce Robison and Mandy Chase at The Next Waltz.
His last five albums have been released on Nashville label Thirty Tigers and he most recently signed a publishing deal with Rick Rubin of American Songs.
