On September 21, 2025, The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands will host this electrifying night of music, featuring very special guests Dave Alvin & Jimmie Dale Gilmore. Tickets go on sale March 28 at 10 AM.
A Night of Soul and Grit
Leon Bridges, known for his timeless storytelling and genre-bending sound, will bring the magic of his acclaimed fourth studio album, Leon, to the stage. His journey from busking on the streets of Fort Worth to selling out arenas worldwide has been nothing short of extraordinary. With his signature smooth vocals and boundless creativity, Bridges delivers performances that are as personal as they are powerful. His discography, filled with platinum hits, has redefined modern soul and continues to captivate audiences globally.
Joining him as a special guest is Charley Crockett, the modern-day outlaw of country music. Crockett has built his career on the independent spirit of country’s great songwriters, releasing 14 independent albums and selling out legendary venues like Red Rocks and the Ryman. His latest record, Lonesome Drifter, produced by Shooter Jennings, channels the raw, unfiltered essence of a road-worn storyteller. With his blues-infused honky-tonk sound, Crockett adds a rugged depth to the lineup, complementing Bridges' velvety soul.
A Celebration of Texas Music
The evening will also feature performances by celebrated musicians Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore, adding yet another layer of authenticity and Texas storytelling to the mix. Their legendary status in roots music brings a perfect balance to the show, bridging classic influences with contemporary artistry.
This isn’t just a concert—it’s a collision of soul and grit, an evening of music that transcends genre and resonates across time and place. With Bridges' smooth R&B stylings and Crockett’s outlaw country charm, The Crooner & The Cowboy promises to be a night that music lovers won’t soon forget.
