Free line dance lessons and live music kick off four straight days of entertainment in Historic Folsom
Boots will be on the dance floor Thursday night as Gotcha Country takes the stage for Country Thursdays at Powerhouse Pub, launching a four-day stretch of live entertainment in Historic Folsom.
The March 5 event begins with free line dance lessons at 7 p.m., followed by live music at 8 p.m., continuing Powerhouse Entertainment’s weekly tradition of pairing instruction and high-energy country favorites in a dance-forward setting. Admission is free, and seating is first come, first served.
Rooted in the Central Valley, Gotcha Country is part of the Gotcha Covered Music family and has become one of the region’s most consistent and versatile modern country cover bands. The group specializes in hits spanning the 1990s through today, blending nostalgic favorites with contemporary country chart-toppers in a way that keeps both line dancers and two-steppers moving throughout the night.
Known for polished harmonies and upbeat delivery, the band structures its sets around crowd engagement, creating an atmosphere built for singalongs and packed dance floors. Their mix of modern country energy and familiar classics has made them a fixture at country venues across Northern California.
