Friday night’s entertainment introduces the Rueben Kincaid Band to Red Hawk audiences for the first time, bringing a high-energy live show to the Stage Bar from 8 p.m. until midnight.

The band’s sound is built around what many music fans consider the golden years of rock radio, focusing on the hit-filled period from 1970 through 1975 when glam rock, power pop and guitar-driven songwriting dominated the airwaves. Their performances draw heavily from artists such as T. Rex, David Bowie, Sweet and Badfinger while mixing in overlooked gems that remain crowd favorites decades later.

Adding to the experience, the band performs in authentic, period-inspired 1970s rock attire that immediately transports audiences back to one of rock music’s most colorful eras. Rather than becoming a novelty act, the visual presentation complements the music while creating an immersive concert atmosphere that celebrates the energy and style of the decade.

The Rueben Kincaid Band has built its performances around recognizable songs, strong musicianship and a polished stage presentation. Their danceable, hook-filled setlists are designed to keep audiences engaged throughout the evening with nonstop favorites instead of lengthy instrumental jams, making them an ideal fit for the lively atmosphere inside Red Hawk’s Stage Bar.

Saturday night shifts the spotlight to one of Northern California’s premier party bands as Night Owls takes over the Stage Bar from 10 p.m. until 2 a.m.

Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Night Owls has earned a reputation as one of the region’s top live entertainment acts by delivering polished performances built around today’s biggest hits alongside timeless favorites from previous decades. The band features a rotating collective of nearly 20 professional musicians, allowing every performance to showcase exceptional musicianship and a concert-quality production.

Night Owls seamlessly blends music from artists including The Killers, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson and The Beatles into one nonstop, crowd-pleasing performance. Their ability to move effortlessly between pop, rock, soul, dance music and classic favorites keeps audiences of every generation engaged while filling dance floors from the opening song through the final encore.

The group’s lineup features powerhouse female vocalists Jae and Lady alongside male vocalists Luis, Justin and Freddy. Supporting them is an accomplished group of instrumentalists, including guitarists Sam and Chris, keyboardists Joey, Roy and Glenn, bassist Joe, and drummers Drew, Matt, Mao and Bill. Together, they create the full, dynamic sound that has become Night Owls’ trademark throughout the Bay Area and Northern California.
