Red Hawk Resort Casino is set for another lively weekend of free live music as Gotcha Covered and Dustin Saylor 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 Gotcha Covered, a powerhouse cover band known for transporting audiences through decades of unforgettable hits. Taking the stage from 8 p.m. to midnight, the Central California-based four-member group delivers everything from disco grooves and classic rock anthems to 80s synth-pop and modern dance favorites. True to their name, Gotcha Covered spans generations with a setlist designed to keep the crowd moving all night long.
What sets the band apart is their dynamic instrumentation and layered sound. Laura Rankin leads with soaring vocals and keyboards, while Jeff Rankin anchors the groove on bass and vocals. Guitarist Shawn Reynolds blends rhythm, lead and synth textures with strong harmonies, and drummer Ryan Blodgett keeps the energy driving from start to finish. With rich vocal harmonies and multiple keyboards and synthesizers, Gotcha Covered delivers arena-level energy in an intimate Stage Bar setting. When they hit the stage, the dance floor fills quickly and stays full until the final note.
Saturday night shifts gears as Dustin Saylor takes the Red Hawk stage, bringing a modern country sound rooted in authenticity and storytelling. Saylor’s music draws from Americana, folk and country traditions, blending heartfelt melodies with introspective lyrics that reflect life’s trials, triumphs and personal moments. His performances are known for creating a strong connection with audiences through sincerity and emotional depth.
Saylor has shared the stage with artists including Drake White, Tyler Rich and Creed Fisher. In 2024, he was featured on Froggy 92.9 when his song “Catch Me If You Can” hit the airwaves. Along with his band, The Stowaways, Saylor headlined the Windsor Town Green in both 2024 and 2025 for crowds of more than 4,000 people and has performed at the Country Summer Music Festival in 2019 and 2023. His Saturday night set brings a fresh country voice to the Stage Bar lineup.
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.
