Every Saturday night at 7 p.m., The Social Club in Puerto Vallarta becomes something electric, intimate, and quietly revolutionary. Velvet curtains, candlelit tables, sepia-toned photographs, and the venue’s multi-room, speakeasy-style mystery blur the line between stage and audience. Into that atmosphere steps Shannon Maracle—one of Toronto’s most expressive and emotionally fearless vocalists—delivering a performance that…

There are nights in Puerto Vallarta when the energy shifts — when conversations get louder, cocktails taste brighter, and the whole city feels like it’s leaning toward something fun.

Under the lights of Casino Life Marina, Puerto Vallarta’s own Alberto Cuevas—better known as El Diamante—will take the stage Nov. 1 with something rarely seen in the world of mariachi: a proudly queer charro blending tradition, storytelling, and self-love.

How superstitious are you? I should Google why people are freaked about Fridays falling on the 13th but I don’t want to take the time; if I ever knew the reason, I have forgotten it. It’s a fairly clear, still morning, and it may turn out to be a ‘beach day’ like yesterday. Not that…

My last foray out of the house was Easter Sunday night when I saw Johnny Naoufal in his final show for the season at Coco Cabaret. Miss Butterfly flew onto the stage encased in volumes of a Bill Mackie-worthy gown of black fabric festooned with sequins and a headdress that sparkled in the lights and…

I didn’t go to the Bruce Springsteen Tribute because I am a fan of the music; not at all. I barely recognized four songs. I knew of “The Boss’s” appeal in an abstract way, a singer for the midline workers, especially guys. I am thinking truckers, janitors, etc. Not my style. But I had heard…
