Get ready for another weekend kick off of free, high-energy entertainment at Red Hawk Resort Casino as the Stage Bar lights up with two crowd favorites: Inverness 95 on Friday night and the Billy Williams Band on Saturday. Whether you’re craving ‘90s grunge nostalgia or soulful original songs with a singer-songwriter twist, this weekend has something for every music lover.

Kicking things off on Friday, August 8, Inverness 95 returns to the Stage Bar with a high-octane tribute to the golden era of alternative rock. Known for their powerhouse setlists that cover bands like Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Green Day, and more, the group brings the raw energy and edge that defined the late ’90s and early 2000s. Their performances have built a loyal following across the region, often drawing standing-room-only crowds to Red Hawk thanks to their four-hour sets packed with precision, passion, and pure throwback power. The show kicks off at 8 p.m. and continues until midnight, offering the perfect soundtrack to launch your weekend.

A seasoned performer and skilled guitarist, Billy Williams brings a deeply personal style to the stage, mixing heartfelt originals with well-loved covers that span genres and generations.

His sets are equal parts emotional storytelling and upbeat crowd engagement—an ideal way to close out your weekend. A favorite among returning Red Hawk acts, Williams continues to grow his fan base with every performance. Saturday’s show begins at 10 p.m. and keeps the music going strong until 2 a.m., offering a unique contrast to Friday’s rock-driven atmosphere.
