Country fire on Friday and a 90s alt-rock revival on Saturday, all free at Red Hawk Resort Casino
PLACERVILLE — Red Hawk Resort Casino is gearing up for another big weekend of live entertainment as two crowd-favorite acts return to the Stage Bar for back-to-back nights of music. On Friday night, rising country powerhouse Serena Karise brings her unmistakable blend of attitude, soul, and high-energy country flair. On Saturday, the Stage Bar transforms into a nostalgic, full-throttle tribute to the best of 90s and early-2000s rock when Inverness 95 takes over for a four-hour throwback marathon.
Serena Karise hits the Red Hawk stage Friday from 10 p.m. until 2 a.m., and fans can expect the kind of performance she has become known for — a whirlwind of powerhouse vocals, bold stage presence, and a seamless blend of classic and modern country influences. Karise has carved out a unique place in the West Coast country scene by channeling the fire of 90s legends like Jo Dee Messina and Reba McEntire while infusing her sets with the grit and swagger of today’s breakout stars such as Lainey Wilson and Ella Langley.
A gifted storyteller and natural performer, Karise has shared the spotlight with some of country music’s top touring artists, including Sara Evans, Gabby Barrett, Deana Carter, and Lily Rose. Whether she’s belting out one of her original songs or reinventing a familiar favorite, she connects with audiences through a mix of emotion, edge, and heart — the kind that fills a dance floor and keeps fans up front until closing time. With her return to Red Hawk, Friday promises to be a night of stomping rhythms, twang-kissed rock, and the kind of infectious energy that keeps country fans coming back for more.
On Saturday night, the casino shifts gears as Inverness 95 brings their signature high-octane tribute to the golden era of alternative rock. Their shows have become a staple at Red Hawk, regularly drawing standing-room-only crowds who turn out for a four-hour ride through the best hits of Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Green Day, Stone Temple Pilots, and more. The group is known for its precision, passion, and the ability to channel the raw emotion and adrenaline that defined the late 90s and early 2000s rock scene.
From explosive guitars to driving drumlines, Inverness 95 recreates the era with a level of authenticity that resonates with longtime fans and younger audiences discovering these anthems for the first time. Their performances are packed with crowd-pleasing throwbacks, unexpected deep cuts, and sing-along staples that turn the Stage Bar into a full-blown rock revival. For alt-rock lovers, Saturday night is a can’t-miss event.
All shows at the Stage Bar are free with no cover charge, and seating is first come, first served.
