In 2009, Rick Kern and Rod Crosby produced the very first Border Legends of El Paso Concert at the Lancers Club East. There were 8 groups performing with approximately 250 in attendance. The show was a complete success and they were encouraged to continue doing another one the following year. The second concert took place at the Isaron Hall on the west side of El Paso. The third year had the show returning to the Lancers East with approximately 300 in attendance. That year the complete complex was used including the oitside courtyard. In 2012, the show went to a much larger venue - the El Maida Shrine Auditorium. This became the final and most useful venue for the annual show. There was a green room, private bar area and a much larger stage and performance hall accomodating 1,000 people. The final year of the Border Legends Of El Paso Concert resulted in the largest attendance with attendees coming in to El Paso from over 25 states. The event was best described as being El Paso's Best High School reunion ever - it brought all of the schools together in one place. Hearing the local bands once again that we grew up with was the best take away from the annual concerts. In 2016, Rod and Rick decided to put the show to rest. In the early part of 2022, Rick and Rod was discussing the possibility of resurrecting the annual show. Unfortunately, the plan was met with the unexpected loss of Rod on April 4, 2022. Rod Crosby and the Border Legends of El Paso Concert series will never be forgotten.
