Hack Attack, Power Play, Kool Decades, Total Recall and AC Myles headline three days of live entertainment in Historic Folsom
From the arena-rock excess of the 1980s and the singalong hits of the 1990s to dance-floor favorites spanning multiple decades and a Sunday blues finale, another packed weekend of live entertainment is headed to Historic Folsom as Powerhouse Pub rolls out a diverse lineup designed to keep crowds moving from Friday night through Sunday afternoon.
Leading the weekend lineup is Hack Attack, a high-energy tribute to the hair-band era that opens the festivities Friday night with a celebration of the larger-than-life rock acts that dominated arenas, MTV and radio playlists throughout the 1980s.
The weekend begins Friday, June 12 with the TGIF Early Show featuring Hack Attack at 7 p.m. Billed as the Ultimate ’80s Rock Tribute, the band brings together a powerhouse lineup of veteran musicians dedicated to recreating the music and atmosphere of one of rock’s most unforgettable decades.
From soaring vocals and guitar solos to arena-sized choruses and fist-pumping anthems, Hack Attack delivers the soundtrack that defined the golden age of hair metal and arena rock. Their performances are built around the songs that filled stadiums and inspired generations of rock fans, creating a nostalgic experience that transports audiences back to the days of cassette tapes, neon lights and MTV.
Combining musicianship, stage presence and a genuine love for the music, Hack Attack transforms every performance into a celebration of the era’s biggest hits, making it a fitting kickoff to another busy weekend in Historic Folsom.
Friday night then shifts into full dance-party mode as Power Play takes the stage at 10 p.m. Known for its fearless genre-hopping approach, the band has built a reputation around keeping audiences guessing and dance floors packed.
A typical Power Play performance might move seamlessly from Lady Gaga to Johnny Cash, then jump to Eminem, classic rock favorites or modern country hits before circling back to contemporary dance music. That unpredictability has become one of the band’s trademarks and one of the reasons audiences continue returning to see them.
Driven by versatile vocalists, guitar-heavy arrangements and a powerful rhythm section, Power Play delivers a high-octane performance packed with recognizable crowd favorites. Their wide-ranging catalog appeals to music fans of every generation, ensuring there is always something familiar coming next.
Saturday, June 13 begins with the Saturday Afternoon Dance Party featuring Kool Decades at 3 p.m. Living up to its name, the band delivers an eclectic mix of music spanning multiple decades and genres while showcasing more than four decades of combined performing experience.
Featuring four vocalists and a diverse song list, Kool Decades covers artists ranging from Bryan Adams, Bruce Springsteen and Fleetwood Mac to Shania Twain, Elvis Presley, Neil Diamond, Blondie, The B-52s, Tom Petty and The Cars. The variety allows the band to move effortlessly between rock, pop, country and classic favorites while keeping audiences engaged and dancing throughout the afternoon.
The group’s ability to blend multiple musical styles into one performance has made them a popular choice throughout Northern California, where audiences appreciate the opportunity to hear songs from several generations in a single show.
Saturday night then belongs to the 1990s as Total Recall takes over the Powerhouse stage at 10 p.m. The band’s mission is simple: celebrate one of the most beloved decades in modern music history.
From alternative rock and pop to dance hits and radio favorites, Total Recall delivers a nostalgic trip through the music that defined a generation. For audiences who grew up during the decade, the show offers a chance to relive the soundtrack of their youth, while younger fans can experience the songs that continue to influence artists today.
With the giant LED dance floor packed, DJs spinning throughout the venue and a crowd eager to sing along, Total Recall is expected to transform Powerhouse into one of the busiest nightlife destinations of the weekend.
The weekend concludes Sunday, June 14 with the Powerhouse of Blues series featuring acclaimed blues-rock guitarist, vocalist and recording artist AC Myles at 3 p.m.
A California native who built his career the traditional way through years of touring and live performances, Myles has earned praise from critics and fellow musicians alike for his expressive guitar work, powerful vocals and authentic stage presence.
Over the course of his career, Myles has performed at major festivals and venues throughout North America and Europe, including the Lucerne Blues Festival in Switzerland, Cognac Blues Passions in France, House of Blues venues and San Francisco’s Davies Symphony Hall. He has also shared stages with artists including Buddy Guy, Zac Brown Band and Elvin Bishop.
His catalog, including albums such as Reconsider Me, Rush to Red, With These Blues and Transitory, showcases a sound rooted in electric blues, southern rock and soul. Critics have praised both his guitar playing and songwriting, with Blues Revue Magazine describing his work as featuring “tough guitar playing and devastating singing.”
Whether delivering blistering solos, soulful vocals or heartfelt songwriting, Myles has developed a reputation as a performer who leaves a lasting impression on audiences long after the show ends.
From ’80s arena rock and dance-party favorites to ’90s nostalgia and world-class blues, the weekend lineup once again highlights the variety that continues to make Powerhouse Pub one of Folsom’s favorite entertainment spots in the city’s Historic District.
