Modern country on Friday and a genre-spanning dance party on Saturday at the Stage Bar
Red Hawk Resort Casino is set for another lively weekend of free live music as Flat Busted and Thunder Cover take turns lighting up the Stage Bar with back-to-back performances that promise packed dance floors and late-night energy.
Friday night belongs to Flat Busted, a modern country band led by longtime frontman Brian McPherson. Taking the stage from 8 p.m. to midnight, the band brings a polished country sound paired with an engaging, high-energy live show that has made them a favorite across California, Nevada and Oregon. McPherson is known for performing with a headset microphone, allowing him to move freely through the crowd and connect directly with audiences, a hallmark of Flat Busted shows whether they’re playing casinos, amphitheaters, fairs or private events.
McPherson’s musical journey traces back to a pivotal moment in 1995, when seeing Garth Brooks live inspired him to pursue music professionally. He began performing alongside his brother as part of The McPherson Brothers, playing local bars and events before the project evolved into Flat Busted. Over more than a decade on the road, the band has built a reputation for energetic performances, crowd interaction and a sound that blends contemporary country with the kind of showmanship that keeps fans coming back.
Saturday night shifts the vibe as Thunder Cover takes over the Stage Bar from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. The Sacramento-based five-piece is known for its nonstop energy and wide-ranging song selection that turns every show into a full-scale party. Their setlists span decades and genres, moving seamlessly from pop and rock to dance anthems that keep the floor moving all night long.
Thunder Cover’s musical range runs from the Beatles to Dua Lipa, Foo Fighters to Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson to Maroon 5, creating a crowd-pleasing mix that appeals to audiences of all ages. Tight musicianship and an engaging stage presence have helped the band build a loyal following over the past five years. The recent addition of standout vocalist Zoe has expanded their sound even further, adding a dynamic dual-lead element and fresh arrangements that give familiar hits new life.
All Stage Bar performances at Red Hawk Resort Casino are free with no cover charge, and seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
