Charley Crockett with Lee Fields Bringing Swagger to Saenger Theatre in New Orleans Friday, April 24th

GRAMMY® Award-nominated country artist, Charley Crockett, is bringing his rebellious strain of country music to the Saenger Theatre in New Orleans Friday, April 24th, 2026, along with soul icon Lee Fields as the first Friday of the 2026 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival winds down.

Charley Crockett has never been someone who asked permission to take a shot at his dreams. Instead, the GRAMMY® Award-nominated Texas-born maverick defied the odds at every turn, tapping into a rebellious strain of country, rising from an open guitar case on a Louisiana sidewalk to selling out some of the world’s most renowned venues. Crockett has paved a singular path out of Texas, taking his home state wherever he goes and bringing his signature “Gulf & Western” sound to the world.
