Charley Crockett, a musician who has played over 100 shows internationally, finds comfort on his tour bus, which he prefers to a hotel bed. In a backstage dressing room, he enjoys simple comforts like mezcal and tortilla chips, revealing a playful attitude toward his craft. Crockett showcases his vintage Western attire, recalling his days as a street performer in New Orleans, where he dressed up to attract tourists. His journey from busking to performing in theaters signifies his growth as an artist while maintaining his charismatic, song-and-dance roots.
"That big diesel motor sings me lullabies at night," he says. "It really is comforting to me. You know, the low hum of the motor and the satellite television, turned down low on some old-time movie."
"I started dressing up on the street in New Orleans. And the main reason was, being [the] hobo that I was, I started dressing up so the tourists would take me serious, you know?"
"I bet I paid too much for these," he says. "I was a song-and-dance man."
"Yeah, let's go with that" when asked if the mezcal is good for his singing voice.
