Thursday Night The Big Social - March 20th
The Status Crowes
The Status Crowes
The Final Fiesta of the week is all about getting back to our roots—because let’s be honest, nothing brings Escapees together like a big ol’ party under the stars. We’re basically one giant, RV-loving family, and what better way to celebrate than with the legendary Big Social with The Status Crowes?
It’s the kind of night where you’ll hug people you just met, swap stories that may or may not be true, and dance like no one’s watching (even though they definitely are). So bring your best moves, your loudest laugh, and maybe even a lawn chair—this is the one night where the stars aren’t the only things shining!
Chuck and Michelle – The Status Crowes – are no strangers to the Escapees and Xscapers scene—they’re practically part of the furniture at this point, but way more fun! These two know how to light up the stage and bring the energy, delivering a show that’ll have you singing along, clapping, and maybe even busting out a few surprise dance moves. Whether it’s their killer harmonies or the way they get the crowd going, one thing’s for sure: when Chuck and Michelle hit the stage, the good times aren’t far behind!
