Red Hawk Resort Casino is stacking the week with two distinct nights of music at the Stage Bar, starting with the Ariel Jean Band on Thursday and wrapping up the weekend with Ride Captain Ride on Saturday. Both shows are free with no cover, offering fans a chance to take in top-tier live entertainment in one of the region’s most popular nightlife settings.
On Thursday night, the Ariel Jean Band brings their signature blend of three-part harmony, country-rock edge and heartfelt songwriting to the Red Hawk stage. This Sacramento-based trio — sisters Ariel Jean, Aubrey Anne and Amber Joy — has become a standout on the West Coast music scene thanks to their powerful vocals, magnetic chemistry and a sound that fuses modern country with classic heartland roots.
Led by Ariel Jean’s powerhouse vocals and sharp songwriting, the group has shared the stage with major country artists including Tim McGraw, Little Big Town, Sam Hunt and Midland. Ariel Jean’s musical journey began with a guitar in hand during long Pacific Coast road trips, and since then she has performed everywhere from intimate local venues to legendary Nashville stages like Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge. Her newest singles — “Honky Tonk Queen,” “Rocker Girl” and “On My Way to You” — were recorded in Nashville with session musicians who have played for Luke Bryan, Keith Urban and other country chart-toppers. Viral favorites like “Coors Light Country Girl” and the emotional ballad “Here” continue to grow the band’s devoted following.
Whether performing originals or putting their signature spin on crowd favorites, the sisters deliver a high-energy show filled with harmony, personality and the kind of onstage connection that keeps fans coming back for more. Their Thursday night performance promises a vibrant kickoff to the weekend.
