Red Hawk Resort Casino keeps the summer entertainment sizzling this weekend with two high-energy acts that span the spectrum from heartfelt country to electrifying dance hits. On Friday, Northern California country standout Chad Bushnell takes the Stage Bar spotlight, followed by the return of crowd favorite Power Play on Saturday night.

Chad Bushnell has carved out a name for himself as one of Northern California’s most authentic voices in modern country music. Raised in Red Bluff in a family rooted in both ranching and gospel traditions, Bushnell began singing in church and rodeo arenas before finding his own blend of contemporary country and faith-driven Americana. That background continues to shape his distinctive sound, a mix of cowboy tradition, Nashville polish, and honest storytelling.

His catalog spans heartfelt originals and high-energy singles, from the breakout collaboration What They Ain’t Tellin’ Usfeaturing Ben Haggard to recent releases like Whiskey to WorkFallin’ in Love With You, and The Radio. His music has earned chart placements in the Christian country genre, and he’s received multiple nominations at the Josie Music Awards for Artist, Vocalist, and EP of the Year.

On stage, Bushnell is known for engaging performances that blend traditional country values with a modern twist. Whether playing fairs, casinos, or intimate clubs, his sincerity and stage presence resonate with fans. With a growing national profile and deep local roots, Chad Bushnell delivers a show that’s both a tribute to the genre’s past and a preview of its future. He performs Friday from 8 p.m. to midnight at the Stage Bar.

On Saturday night, the party shifts into overdrive as Power Play returns with a high-octane set designed to keep the crowd moving. Known for their ability to leap from Lady Gaga to Johnny Cash to Eminem in one seamless performance, Power Play transforms the Stage Bar into a nonstop dance party. Their diverse song catalog and powerhouse rhythm section combine to deliver an electrifying live music experience.

Power Play’s versatile vocalists, guitar-driven energy, and fearless genre-crossing style make them a go-to band for fans of all musical tastes. Whether you’re singing along to a country favorite, rocking out to a classic, or moving to a Top 40 hit, this band keeps the energy high and the dance floor packed. Power Play hits the stage from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. Saturday night.
