Red Hawk Resort Casino keeps the rhythm going this weekend with another solid lineup of live entertainment at its popular stage bar, featuring two genres that promise to keep the dance floor packed. Kicking off the weekend is the return of regional country standout Chad Bushnell on Friday from 8 p.m. to midnight, followed by the high-energy rock band Rockify on Saturday night from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m.
For Chad Bushnell, performing at Red Hawk is more than just another show — it’s a homecoming. Back in his days as a student at Chico State and fresh off the rodeo circuit, Bushnell cut his teeth on stages like Red Hawk’s, building the foundation for what has become a thriving country music career.
According to his bio, Bushnell brings an authentic spirit to the country music scene, blending classic Americana with deep-rooted Christian values. His family tree spans four generations of cowboys and musicians — some of whom even shared the stage with Bob Hope — and that rich heritage pours into his lyrics and melodies. Raised singing in church and inspired by his great-grandmother, Bushnell’s faith-based country sound has struck a chord with fans across the nation.
Beyond music, Bushnell remains deeply connected to the western lifestyle. When he’s not on tour opening for big-name acts like Dwight Yoakam, Scotty McCreery, or Aaron Watson, he’s back home in Red Bluff with his wife, working cattle and writing songs alongside his family — including his sister Chelsey, an accomplished rodeo athlete.
Bushnell has earned numerous accolades over the years, including multiple #1 Christian Country Music hits such as “What Would Jesus Do,” “That Ain’t My Church,” and “Thank God.” His collaborations include working with Merle Haggard’s son Ben Haggard, as well as legendary songwriter Dave Gibson, who helped produce his latest EP Baby I Love You. His most recent project, Whiskey to Work, was produced by Aaron Watson’s drummer Nate Coon and Edgewater Studios’ Derek Hames.
In addition to his musical achievements, Bushnell is also an accomplished farrier and holds a Business Marketing degree from Chico State. His journey and commitment to faith, music, and the western way of life were recently highlighted in his debut documentary “North State Roots,” which premiered on KIXE PBS.
On Saturday night, it’s time to switch gears as Rockify brings classic rock to the stage. Known for delivering the best hits from decades past to modern favorites, this five-piece band is all about high energy and crowd interaction. Whether you’re into timeless rock anthems or the catchy choruses of today’s hits, Rockify will have something for everyone.
Praised as one of the region’s most entertaining rock bands, Rockify thrives on keeping the party alive and the dance floor full. Their performance begins at 10 p.m. and rocks through the early morning hours until 2 a.m.
