🎸 Ed Leonard at Crossfire Cantina
Let the Honky Tonkin’ Good Times RollGet ready for an unforgettable night of authentic, high-energy Country music as Ed Leonard brings his signature sound to Circle T Arena!
A proud United States Air Force veteran and longtime Gatesville resident, Ed Leonard has been entertaining Texas audiences for decades. He first picked up a guitar in 1986 and quickly found his place on stage, becoming the front man for multiple bands throughout the 1990s. After stepping away from the Country scene to focus on family and serve as a worship leader, Ed returned to his roots with a renewed passion for performing.
In 2015, he launched his full-time career as a one-man band under the name Ed Leonard and Friends—and hasn’t slowed down since. Averaging 125–160 shows per year, Ed has built a loyal following across the region. His “Friends” aren’t just bandmates—they’re the incredible audiences who show up night after night to share in the music and memories.
Specializing in Classic Country, Ed delivers the songs you know and love, with the flexibility to mix in Classic Rock and other favorites by request. There’s no fixed set list—every performance is crafted in the moment to match the energy of the crowd, making each show a one-of-a-kind experience.
Whether you’re ready to two-step, sing along, or just soak in the sound of true Country tradition, this is a night you won’t want to miss.
Join us at Circle T Arena and let the good times roll!

Chaser Crouch
2026-10-01 21:00 - 23:59 | Crossfire Cantina
About the Event:
Chaser Crouch BandChaser Crouch is from the small Texas town of Corsicana, and his country upbringing is one of the biggest influences on his music. Born into a ranching and equine family, Chaser has spent most of his life on the back of horses, working cattle for his grandfather, and traveling to equine competitions with his family. At the early age of 10, Chaser picked up a guitar and started performing at horse shows and singing in Church. His youth was a balance between competing on horses and competing with a guitar, reaching the finals, and winning with both.
During Chaser’s high school years, his focus turned to cutting horses. Chaser is a 2X, National High School Rodeo, National Champion in the Boys Cutting Horse Competition. He has won the National Cutting Horse Association SR Youth World Championship and, in 2020, was inducted into the National Cutting Horse Association Youth Hall of Fame.
After graduating high school, Chaser’s focus turned to his music, and his first single, “Hell of a Night”, introduced him to the Texas Country/Red Dirt music community and gained him traction within the scene. In 2022, Chaser teamed up with country music record promoter David Gilligan of Gilligan Promotions and released his second single, “FM Station”, which went on to become Chaser’s debut charting radio single on the Texas Country/Red Dirt radio charts. In December 2022, Gilligan introduced Chaser to Grammy Award-winning producer Michael Clute. This team of Chaser, Clute, and Gilligan released Chaser’s third radio single, “Born to Ride”, in February 2023. It was named the Texas Country Music Association’s song of the week upon its release. This same team has continued to release singles to radio and streaming platforms, having reached the top 30 on multiple Texas Country/Red Dirt charts.
In 2023, Chaser was selected by the T3R Music & Radio Awards committee into that year’s Future Faces class. Along with the honor came an invite to perform at the yearly Future Faces Showcase in Arlington, TX at Texas Live! and take part in the T3R Music & Radio Awards weekend festivities.
Chaser now tours with his band, quickly building a reputation across Texas and beyond as one of the best live bands with their rowdy energy and charting original music. David Gilligan and Chaser continue to team up. Chaser has enlisted Gilligan as his manager, providing direction and support to tackle the daily decisions and strategizing needed to further Chaser’s music career. Chaser’s songwriting, recording, and live performances have evolved and continue to grow, making him one of the fastest-rising stars of the Texas Country/Red Dirt music scene.
