LIVE! in NWA

LIVE! in NWA: Charley Crockett in Fort Smith, plus live music all over NWA

Texas artist Charley Crockett has a voice that is one of a kind. His distinctive, plaintive vocals crack unapologetically with emotion, and he phrases his lines around the beat like a jazz singer, while he expounds upon personal relationships and the world beyond. Shades of Texas honky-tonk, neo country-western and blues color his music and keep his ever-evolving sound from pigeon-holing. Crockett returns to Fort Smith Dec. 2.

Ten albums in six years is some kind of prolific! Texas country/Americana artist Charley Crockett released his latest collection Sept. 17, and the double LP makes it clear that he's invested as much time in the studio, recording storytelling songs and making storytelling videos, as he has spent barnstorming around the United States and Europe playing live shows.

Charley Crockett returns to The Majestic in Fort Smith with guest Summer Dean at 8 p.m. Dec. 2. The performance venue is at 817 Garrison Ave. Tickets are $25-$30. 551-2424; majesticfortsmith.com; charleycrockett.com.
