Ace Boone: Gonzales’s Own Steps Up to the Mic
Every hometown has a moment where local talent gets its shot on the big stage, and for Gonzales, that moment belongs to Ace Boone. Taking the stage Friday, October 2, right after acts like David Farias and La Tropa F, Ace Boone represents something the Come and Take It Celebration hasn’t put a spotlight on before: a hip-hop artist raised in the same streets he’ll be performing on.
His music leans into that hometown identity directly. Across his catalog, the songs carry a recurring thread of self-belief and earned confidence, the idea that taking a real chance on yourself is worth more than waiting for permission, paired with verses about grinding daily to build something out of nothing. There’s a hustler’s mentality running through the bars, but also a more reflective side, moments where the music turns inward toward faith, pressure, and the weight of trying to make it out while staying true to where he’s from.
That mix, hometown pride layered with hard-won introspection, is what makes Ace Boone’s addition to this year’s lineup feel significant. He’s not an outside act being booked in; he’s Gonzales’s own, stepping from SoundCloud onto the same Come and Take It stage that’s carried the region’s Tejano and country legends for years. For a crowd that’s watched this festival grow, his set is a chance to see the next chapter of Gonzales music get written in real time.
