Chaser Crouch: Rising Star in Texas Country Music

CORSICANA, TEXAS — Texas country artist Chaser Crouch, hailing from Corsicana, has recently garnered significant attention with his nomination for the prestigious “Emerging Artist of the Year” award at the upcoming 2024 Texas Country Music Awards. This nomination is not just a feather in his cap; it represents a pivotal moment in Crouch’s burgeoning career, underscoring his growing popularity and influence within the Texas country music scene.

A New Chapter with Gilligan Promotions

In addition to his award nomination, Crouch has signed a management deal with Gilligan Promotions, transitioning from a previous partnership focused solely on radio promotion to a more comprehensive artist management relationship. David Gilligan, the owner of Gilligan Promotions, expressed his excitement about this new phase in their collaboration.

“Working with Chaser has been an incredible journey,” Gilligan remarked. “From the moment I started as his radio promoter, it was clear that he had immense talent and potential. Our collaboration has been built on trust and a shared vision, which has already led to ‘Top 30’ success on a Texas Country/Red Dirt chart.” As they prepare to release Crouch’s sixth single, “Just A Dream Away,” Gilligan is eager to see where this next chapter will lead.

Chaser Crouch’s Musical Journey

Crouch’s musical roots run deep, influenced heavily by his upbringing on a family ranch and his early exposure to country music. He fondly recalls watching CMT music videos with his father before school, a ritual that ignited his passion for the genre. Reflecting on his recent career developments, Crouch shared, “I am excited about expanding my professional relationship with Gilligan Promotions and thrilled to be nominated for a Texas Country Music award. I always say going to the TCMA Awards is like a family reunion; everyone is supportive of each other.”

His enthusiasm is palpable as he discusses his aspirations. “I’m just digging deeper into what I want to do. Things are finally happening, and it’s the next step to where I want to be. Everyone has that end goal, whether it’s winning a gold buckle at the NFR or winning a Grammy or another major music award. I’m one step closer to my dreams.”

A Performer at Heart

As an Emerging Artist nominee, Crouch will also take the stage at the Texas Country Music Awards, an opportunity he relishes. He dreams of performing at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, a prestigious event that symbolizes the pinnacle of success in the Texas country music landscape.

Born into a ranching and equine family, Crouch spent much of his youth immersed in the world of cattle and equine events. He began playing guitar at the tender age of 10, showcasing his talent at horse shows and winning the National Youth Cutting Horse Association (NYCHA) Talent Show at just 14 years old. His high school years were marked by significant achievements, including making the Top 10 in the National High School Rodeo Association (NHSRA) Talent Show for three consecutive years and earning accolades as a 2X National High School Rodeo Champion. His induction into the National Cutting Horse Association Youth Hall of Fame further solidified his reputation as a multifaceted talent.

Musical Releases and Impact

Since shifting his focus to music after high school, Crouch has released five singles, each contributing to his growing recognition in the Texas country music scene. His debut single, “Hell of a Night,” made waves by entering The Texas Music Pickers Top 30 Red Dirt Chart. Subsequent singles, including “FM Station,” “Born to Ride,” “Houston We Got a Problem,” and “Stay Away,” have each achieved notable success on the Texas Country Music and Texas Regional Radio charts.

“Music has always hit me in an emotional way,” Crouch explained. “I sing and write about things I have experienced. I want to try to write and sing songs that have an impact on somebody’s life.” This commitment to authenticity and emotional resonance is what sets Crouch apart in a crowded field of aspiring artists.
