See leader of a traditional country music revival on Sept. 12
TUNICA — See country music star Charley Crockett at Horseshoe Tunica on Saturday, Sept. 12.
Charley Crockett is a Texas-born country, blues, and roots musician known for his authentic “Gulf & Western” sound that blends classic country, soul, blues, Cajun, and vintage Americana influences. With a husky, soulful voice and a rebellious, old-school style, he has emerged as a leading figure in the revival of traditional country music, earning Grammy nominations and critical acclaim for his storytelling and raw honesty.
Born Matthew Charles Crockett on March 24, 1984, in San Benito, Texas, he grew up in the Rio Grande Valley and later Irving. At 17, he left home with a pawn-shop guitar, teaching himself to play and write songs. He lived an itinerant life, busking on the streets of New Orleans’ French Quarter, Deep Ellum in Dallas, New York City
subways, and beyond—hitchhiking, riding freight trains, and facing hardships that shaped his music. He self-released his debut album A Stolen Jewel in 2015 after years on the road.
Crockett has released nearly 17 studio albums in about a decade, including standouts like The Man from Waco (2022), $10 Cowboy (2024), Music City USA, Welcome to Hard Times, and recent works such as Lonesome Drifter. Popular songs include “Jamestown Ferry,” “Welcome to Hard Times,”
“The Man from Waco,” “$10
Cowboy,” “I Am Not Afraid,” and “Hard Luck & Circumstances,” which highlight his themes
of hardship, love, and resilience.

TUNICA — See Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias, Saturday, Aug. 15, at Silver Star Convention Center at Silver Star Hotel & Casino. Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias is one of the most beloved and successful stand-up comedians in the world, renowned for his high-energy storytelling, spot-on impressions, sound effects, and relatable humor drawn from his Mexican-American upbringing, family life, and personal experiences.
His comedy often revolves around self-deprecating bits on weight—famously outlining the “five levels of fatness” (Big, Healthy, Husky, Fluffy, and “DAMN!”) in routines like those from Hot and Fluffy—alongside hilarious tales of road trips, food, relationships, and cultural observations. Signature specials include I’m Not Fat... I’m Fluffy (2009), Hot and Fluffy, Aloha Fluffy (2013), and Netflix hits I’m Sorry for What I Said When I Was Hungry (2016), One Show Fits All (2019), Stadium Fluffy (2022)—where he became the first comedian to sell out Dodger Stadium—and Legend of Fluffy (2025). Iglesias has released multiple comedy albums and hosted shows like Stand Up Revolution and Fluffy’s Food Adventures. On screen, he starred in the Netflix sitcom Mr. Iglesias, appeared in Magic Mike films, and voiced characters in Space Jam: A New Legacy.
