on Jul 13, 2026 • Updated Jul 17, 2026
“F*** TRUMP, F*** EPSTEIN, BUT HAIL SATAN? NOT ME JACK,” wrote Charley Crockett on his social media.
Highly prolific country artist Charley Crockett has never been afraid to speak his mind, and he’s putting his values over money and success in a sudden decision that meant removing a band from his tour.
Taking to social media, the self-described “Satanic doo-wop” group Twin Temple explained their side of what led to their departure from Charley’s ongoing Age of the Ram Tour.
Charley then responded, offering no apologies… but, now, he’s no longer on several social media sites.

Twin Temple Says Their “Satanic Imagery” Led To Split With Charley Crockett
“Today we were informed that Charley Crockett has decided to remove Twin Temple from his upcoming shows next week due to our Satanic imagery,” the band posted on social media on July 8.
Twin Temple, which is comprised of husband-wife duo Alexandra and Zachary James, was formed in 2016.
Both Alexandra and Zachary are practicing Satanists, and they incorporate that into their music, with songs like “Burn Your Bible” and “Let’s Have a Satanic Orgy.”
The band’s logo features the T’s in Twin Temples as upside down crosses, and they often perform with pentagrams onstage.
During Twin Temple’s concerts, singer Alexandra James is known to drink from a goblet of fake blood before spitting it out at the audience.
One of those moments was captured on video by a fan, which Twin Temple shared online:
Continuing their July 8 statement about why Charley Crockett pulled them from his tour, Twin Temple wrote, “Unfortunately, that means we will not be able to perform for you next week as planned.”
Twin Temple was slated to perform as the opening act for Charley Crockett on his Age of the Ram Tour on July 14 in Troutdale, Oregon; and Paso Robles, California, on July 18.
Further, Twin Temple stated:
“We are really disappointed as we were looking forward to getting back out and seeing you, and also what it meant as far as bringing different types of people music lovers together. We are sorry to everyone who was planning to see us.”
They added, “We’re grateful for your support, not only of Twin Temple, but more importantly of artistic freedom.”
Concluding their post, they wrote, “HAIL SATAN! 93/93,” with the number 93 being of Satanic significance within Thelemite circles, meaning, “Love is the law, love under will.”

Since then, Jack White has reached out to Twin Temple to have them play some shows for him, saying, “Twin Temple, would you like to open my show in L.A. on September 29th at the Hollywood Palladium? Let me know. Get in front of me Satan!”
As of July 15, Rolling Stone has done an interview with Twin Temple.
Crockett Responds, Affirming God’s Sovereignty
In a lengthy Facebook post on July 10, Charley Crockett seemingly addressed his decision to drop Twin Temple from his tour, but he never mentioned the band by name.
“I won’t conform and I’m not sorry,” began Charley. “There are many things I’ve done in my life to apologize for but this ain’t one of them.”
In the past, Charley has been open about his arrest in 2014 that led to his conviction in 2016 for possession with intent to sell/give/distribute more than five pounds of marijuana.
Continuing his post about what he stands for in light of his decision to drop Twin Temple, he wrote, “S*** you might get you a life changing gig just by standing next to me. That’s magic.”
Arriving at his point, Charley affirmed his faith in God, writing:
“I’m not on the left. I’m not on the right. I’m on the road, and that’s a hard way to go … I don’t give a damn whether you think I’m right or wrong. They say love your struggle. I say love the strength the creator gave you to overcome your struggle. Dont [sic] believe in any kind of spiritual power? I’m sorry to hear that. God is the fabric that ties all life together. No need to even define or institutionalize it.”
He added, “The entertainment business is chock full of shameless exhibitionists possessed by the desire to be famous and have the public’s adoration. I swear they’d kill a relative. I see them everywhere. Been betrayed by many.”
He said that those who are “possessed by the desire to be famous” are “always stricken by the crack smoke and just dying to get ahead.”
Near the end of his post, Charley wrote, “I love what I do and I’m grateful for the privilege every minute, and if everybody disappears I’ll go back to the street corner where I started.”
In the comments on his Facebook post, one person wrote, “Dude. I love you and your music, and I love Twin Temple too. But how did you NOT know when their description is literally ‘Satanic doo wop?’ Sorry, but this whole situation is so funny to me.”
Posting on July 13, he wrote, “Well, now I know how it feels when they try to cancel you on the right AND the left. The thing is, I never subscribed.”
By July 16, Charley suddenly deleted his Facebook and Instagram accounts.
One of his final social media posts was a fake Truth Social post made in the style of President Donald Trump, which can be seen here:
Charley Crockett’s Age of the Ram Tour is in support of his 16th and 17th studio albums, respectively Age of the Ram and Clovis.
