If your weekend plans could use a little more guitar, a little more dancing, and a whole lot of fun—Jan’s Lounge in Orangevale has exactly what you’re looking for. With two nights of free live entertainment on tap, the longtime local favorite continues its tradition of offering the community a go-to spot for music, connection, and great energy with no cover charge.
The weekend kicks off on Friday with a full-throttle performance by Character Assassins. This seasoned rock group brings a unique twist to the stage by combining three generations of rock and roll into one explosive show. Their music blends decades of influence—from the classic rock that shaped the genre to edgier modern tracks that keep things fresh. Known for their energetic stage presence and wide appeal, Character Assassins keeps the party going from 8 p.m. to 11 with a setlist that bridges nostalgia and raw power.
Then on Saturday, it’s time for a different kind of session with Unlicensed Therapy. This exciting, dynamic, and interactive cover band delivers more than music—they deliver an experience. With a repertoire spanning classic rock, 70s grooves, 80s and 90s anthems, and today’s hits, Unlicensed Therapy creates a dance party disguised as a concert. Their fun-loving attitude and polished musicianship make them one of the region’s top draws for high-energy, feel-good live shows. It’s the perfect way to shake off the week and get your weekend therapy—no appointment necessary.
Both shows run from 8 p.m. to 11, and there’s no cover charge either night, continuing Jan’s Lounge’s legacy of providing free weekend entertainment in a casual, community-focused setting.
Jan’s Lounge is located at 9222 Greenback Lane in the heart of downtown Orangevale, conveniently situated between Chestnut and Walnut avenues. It’s a longtime local favorite offering a full-service bar, indoor and outdoor seating, pool tables, TVs for sports fans, and a menu that includes crowd favorites like their homemade pizzas.
