Everything is bigger in Texas, including the upcoming co-headlining the Crooner & the Cowboy tour from Leon Bridges and Charley Crockett. The run of shows scheduled to makes stops throughout North America this summer will feature full sets from both Bridges and Crockett, plus opening performances from Noeline Hofmann, Reyna Tropical, Honky Tonkin’ In Queens, Dave Alvin, Jimmie Dale Gilmore on select dates.
“Me and @charleycrockett been chasing this dream side by side for a decade,” Bridges wrote on Instagram. “We grew up in this thing together. From the smallest clubs you can imagine — places where you could hear a pin drop, or sometimes, folks talkin’ over the music. But we kept on grinding! Now, to be able to share a stage together and bring this tour to big rooms and amphitheaters… man, it feels full circle.”
The Crooner & the Cowboy tour will kick off with the previously announced Hollywood Bowl concert in June before picking pack up on Aug. 26 in Milwaukee. Bridges and Crockett will make stops in Toronto, Portland, Queens, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Raleigh, Birmingham, and more. The tour is scheduled to wrap with a double-homecoming show at the Moody Center in Austin. “It’s going to be a night to remember,” Bridges teased. “There’s something special about ending this journey in the heart of Texas, where the energy is electric and the crowd knows how to bring it.”
Presale for the Crooner & the Cowboy Tour begins Tuesday, March 25 at 10 a.m. local time. General on-sale is scheduled for Friday, March 28 at 10 a.m. local time. For every every ticket sold, the pair will be donating $1 to Bridges’ charity, the Big Good.

“Charley’s always been the cowboy — with stories that feel like they’ve been passed down for generations. I guess I’ve always been the crooner — trying to find the soul in it all. So we thought, why not bring those worlds together?” Bridges said. “Every night, we’ll each be playing our own full sets — 50% crooner, 50% cowboy — two Texas boys bringing you the songs that got us here.”
