Leon Bridges and Charley Crockett go back about a decade, and now the totems of Black, Texas excellence are bringing their dreams to Tampa Bay this fall.

The songwriters announced a summer-fall tour today, and it features two stops in Florida, including one in Clearwater.

“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!,” the pair wrote on social media. “Now, to be able to share a stage together and bring this tour to big rooms and amphitheaters… man, it feels full circle.”

The bill featuring full sets from each artist brings together Grammy-nominated Crockett, a bonafide cowboy who’s no stranger to the Bay area, and Grammy-winning Bridges, one of this generation’s foremost crooners.

“Two Texas boys bringing you the songs that got us here,” the post added.

While Crockett has visited the Bay area frequently since his 2022 debut at Tampa Theatre, Bridges has not stopped by since 2019 when he headlined Clearwater’s Ruth Eckerd Hall.

Reyna Tropical, the Los Angeles-based band founded by Rabiola Reyna of She Shreds Media, opens with a sound the mines that tropical diaspora.

The only other Florida date on the tour is on Sept. 14 in St. Augustine.

Tickets to see Leon Bridges and Charley Crockett play the BayCare Sound in Clearwater on Monday, Sept. 16 go on sale Friday, March. 28 and start at $40.50.
