Charley Crockett has spoken out about the controversy surrounding his decision to remove Satanic doo-wop group Twin Temple from his tour dates. In a recent social media post, Crockett claimed that he didn’t boot Twin Temple from two of his shows due to their Satanic imagery, but rather because their production request couldn’t be physically accommodated. He also stated that he “lost a lot of respect” for Jack White, who involved himself in the ordeal and offered Twin Temple an opening slot on his tour.
Crockett’s statement came after Twin Temple announced in July that they had been removed from opening slots on Crockett’s tour, citing their Satanic imagery as the reason. However, Crockett maintains that this was not the case, and that he paid Twin Temple in full after deciding to cut them loose. He also took aim at Jack White, saying that he used the situation to sell tickets and that he wonders why White wasn’t more outspoken on political issues during his time with The White Stripes.
Tour Dates and Controversy
Crockett’s “Age of the Ram Tour” is set to resume on August 28th in Canyon, Texas, while Jack White will commence the latter part of his North American tour in September, supporting his latest album Frozen Charlotte. Twin Temple also has their own fall tour dates and a new album coming out in October. Fans can purchase tickets for all three artists’ tours via Vivid Seats, where they can save $20 on their first order of $200 or more with promo code CONSEQUENCE20 at checkout.
Crockett’s tour dates include stops in Texas, Alabama, Georgia, and North Carolina, among other locations. Jack White’s tour dates include stops in New York, California, and Florida, while Twin Temple’s tour dates include stops in New Mexico, Texas, and California. The controversy surrounding Crockett’s decision to remove Twin Temple from his tour dates has sparked a heated debate among fans, with some defending Crockett’s right to choose his opening acts and others criticizing him for allegedly discriminating against Twin Temple due to their Satanic imagery.
In his statement, Crockett took some responsibility for the controversy, saying that he “let ’em slip through” and that he might respond differently if faced with the situation again. He also emphasized that he paid Twin Temple in full and that the decision to remove them from the tour was not taken lightly. Despite the controversy, all three artists are set to continue with their respective tours, with Crockett and Jack White supporting their latest albums and Twin Temple promoting their new music.
The situation has highlighted the complexities of the music industry and the challenges that artists face when navigating issues of censorship, free speech, and artistic expression. As the debate continues to unfold, fans can look forward to seeing Crockett, Jack White, and Twin Temple perform live in the coming months, with the opportunity to experience their music and energy firsthand.
