Red Hawk Resort Casino is set for another lively weekend of free live music as Gotcha Covered and Nick Eng 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.
On Saturday night, the mood shifts into something smoother and more melodic as Nick Eng takes over the Stage Bar from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. A singer-songwriter and recording artist from Reno, Nevada, Eng’s upbeat pop-rock style has drawn comparisons to classic acts like Paul McCartney, while delivering modern lyrical depth that appeals to a wide range of listeners. Whether performing with his band or solo, Eng brings polish, personality and a distinctive retro-pop sound to every stage he steps on.
A seasoned performer with hundreds of shows under his belt since launching his career in 2015, Eng has played everything from casinos and clubs to festivals and showcase events. His critically acclaimed albumsNick Eng(2018) andLong Shot(2019) have earned him a worldwide audience, with more than 50,000 streams across the U.S., U.K., Australia and beyond. His Red Hawk performances consistently draw attention for their charm, energy and engaging storytelling.
Both shows are free with no cover charge, and seating is first come, first served, offering guests an easygoing yet electric way to enjoy live entertainment in the Sierra foothills.
