Chaser Crouch Concert at Circle T Arena
CHASER CROUCH LIVE AT CIRCLE T — DURING THE CLAY LOGAN OPEN!
The Chaser Crouch Band is coming to Crossfire Cantina at Circle T Arena for a late-night set during the Clay Logan Open.
Thursday, October 1, 2026
9:00 PM – Midnight
Crossfire Cantina at Circle T Arena
NO COVER
Born and raised in Corsicana, Texas, Chaser Crouch comes from the same ranching and equine world that fills Circle T. He grew up working cattle, competing on horses, and playing music — eventually becoming a two-time National High School Rodeo Champion in Boys Cutting, an NCHA Senior Youth World Champion, and a National Cutting Horse Association Youth Hall of Fame inductee.
Now his focus is Texas Country and Red Dirt. Songs including “FM Station” and “Born to Ride” have earned radio traction and chart success, while Chaser and his band have built a reputation for a rowdy, high-energy live show.
This one fits Circle T about as well as it gets.
When the Clay Logan Open wraps up for the day, head over to Crossfire Cantina and keep the night going with Chaser Crouch.
No cover. Live Texas Country. Right here at Circle T.
Death by Design - Hamilton Civic Theater
What happens when you mix the brilliant wit of Noël Coward with the intricate plotting of Agatha Christie? Set during a weekend in an English country manor in 1932, Death by Design is a hilarious, delightful and mysterious mash-up of two of the greatest English writers of all time.
Edward Bennett, a playwright, and his wife, Sorel Bennett, an actress, flee London and head to Cookham after a disastrous opening night. But various guests arrive unexpectedly – a conservative politician, a fiery socialist, a nearsighted ingénue, a zany modern dancer – each with a long-held secret. When one of the guests is murdered, it’s left to Bridgit, the feisty Irish maid with a macabre interest in homicide, to solve the crime. Death by Design is more than homage – it’s a new classic.
