FOLSOM — The dance floor will take center stage in Historic Folsom this weekend as Powerhouse Pub launches a high-energy lineup led by a Friday night return to the glittering era of disco.
The weekend’s spotlight event arrives Friday, March 20 when Night Fever Disco Party, featuring Aldama and the Aces takes over the stage at 10 p.m., transforming the venue into a full-scale throwback to the 1970s dance scene. With mirror ball vibes, infectious grooves and nonstop rhythm, the five-piece band recreates the sound and energy that defined the disco era and continues to fill dance floors decades later.
Night Fever’s setlist pulls from a deep catalog of iconic hits, featuring music from artists such as GQ, Heatwave, KC & The Sunshine Band, Barry White, The Village People, Donna Summer, Chic, ABBA, Rod Stewart and the Bee Gees. The performance is designed as more than a concert — it’s a full dance experience, with crowd participation, high-energy delivery and a steady stream of recognizable tracks that keep the room moving from start to finish.
From the opening beats to the final encore, the show leans into the vibrant spirit of disco, where rhythm, style and atmosphere combine to create a night built entirely around the dance floor.
The evening begins earlier with the TGIF Early Show featuringLove Mischiefat 6:30 p.m., setting the tone with a completely different but equally engaging live music experience. One of Northern California’s emerging jam bands, Love Mischief delivers a genre-blending performance that moves seamlessly between funk, jazz, country, blues, progressive rock and even touches of metal. Their improvisational style and musicianship create a dynamic show where no two performances are exactly alike, offering audiences a fluid and groove-driven lead-in to the night’s disco celebration.
Saturday night keeps the momentum going with120 Minutestaking the stage at 10 p.m., bringing a wave of 1990s and early 2000s alternative rock nostalgia to Historic Folsom. The Sacramento-based band specializes in recreating the sound and feel of an era that defined a generation, drawing on influences like Radiohead, The Smashing Pumpkins and Pearl Jam.
Their performances transport audiences back to a time of MTV rotations, packed festival crowds and the rise of alternative rock as a dominant force in music. With a setlist built around recognizable hits and fan favorites, 120 Minutes delivers a high-energy show that blends nostalgia with a modern live performance edge, creating another dance-friendly atmosphere as the weekend continues.
The weekend concludes Sunday afternoon with the Powerhouse of Blues series whenMick Martin’s Big Blues Bandtakes the stage at 3 p.m., offering a powerful contrast to the high-energy dance nights that precede it. Carrying forward the legacy of the late Mick Martin, the band delivers a rich, horn-driven blues sound rooted in decades of musical tradition.
Led by a lineup of accomplished musicians, including Dave Johnson and featuring Marcel Smith on lead vocals, the band brings together tight arrangements, expressive solo work and a deep respect for the blues genre. The addition of a full horn section adds depth and intensity to the performance, creating a layered sound that blends classic blues structure with a dynamic, modern edge.
Mick Martin’s influence on the blues scene remains significant, with a career that included more than 20 recordings, national performances and collaborations with some of the genre’s most respected names. The Big Blues Band continues that tradition, delivering performances that honor the past while keeping the music alive for new audiences.
