El Wencho, Big Caboose All Stars liven up Chico Saloon
There’s a full calendar at Chico Hot Springs Saloon as the local getaway looks to keep its guests entertained, among others. The resort is perfect for overnight escapes with live entertainment every weekend. Here’s a look at what’s coming up.
The sonically magic and equally entertaining El Wencho are back for a pair of Chico shows Oct. 8th and 9th. For most people, the image of an “acoustic duo” conjures images of two soft spoken musicians singing folk rock and hippie jam songs. This is not the case with the Wench. Two original members of the Clintons, John and Josh joke, “we’re half the band, twice the party!” The guys are no strangers to throwing a rocking good time. Their show is a hotdish or “badasserole” of musical genres and style.

Following the Marco Castro Band Oct. 15th and 16th, the Blake Brightman Band plays for Saloon-goers Oct. 22nd and 23rd. The five-piece follows the frontwoman’s lead with an energetic set of hits and originals. The singer/songwriter’s stylings fall somewhere between country western and Mississippi blues, with her own modern spin.
Howl at the moon when the Big Caboose All Stars reconvene over Halloween weekend, Oct. 29th and 30th. Their funk and soul will have the crowd boogying down whether dressed up or simply out enjoying the show! The official celebration of All Hallow’s Eve is set for Saturday. Put together your best costume so people don’t stare.
Live Saloon music begins at 9pm. Chico Hot Springs is located in Pray, 20 miles south of Livingston. Come sip, soak and swing! For more information, visit www.chicohotsprings.com. •
