In the heart of Los Angeles, where the everyday hustle often overshadows the true artistic vibe of the city, there exists a sanctuary that completely defies the typical Tuesday night slump. Enter Taco Tuesday with the phenomenal vocal coach and musical director, Stevie Mackey.
For those in the know, this isn’t just another item on a crowded social calendar; it is a meticulously curated, intentional experience that leaves you on a high you didn’t even realize you needed. To simply call it an “event” feels like an understatement. It is a masterclass in community, a celebration of the culture, and a brilliant testament to the power of a shared vibe.
The journey begins before you even hit the door. The air outside the 9ThirtyLA venue is thick with the mouth-watering scent of Savage Tacos, and let’s be clear, the culinary experience is a headliner in its own right.
After diving into a variety of their options, it is safe to say the menu does not disappoint. However, the jerk chicken tacos are my favorite, packing the exact amount of kick and punch to make you immediately step back in line for round two without a care for bigging my back. It’s the kind of soul-satisfying fuel required before stepping into the magic waiting inside.
As you walk through the venue, the atmosphere instantly shifts. The vibes are set. The drinks are flowing, the room commands a rare kind of intimacy, and the DJs keep the floor moving with a rhythm that feels like the heartbeat of the city. But the true gravity of the night lies in the sheer level of talent gathered under one roof.
At a Stevie Mackey experience, you aren’t just listening to music; you are being captivated by every vocal run and moved by every lyric.
The stage last night boasted a lineup of artists who left everything on the floor. Desz immediately commanded the space, moving the crowd with a powerhouse presence that sent literal vibrations through the floorboards. The energy then shifted to a nostalgic groove as Jeronelle delivered an undeniable, soul-stirring rendition of Prototype that served as a beautiful love letter to the R&B greats. Keeping the hometown pride alive, Los Angeles’ own Isaiah Jaay took the mic to flawlessly represent the city’s rich musical heritage, seamlessly paving the way for the night’s final act. To cap it all off, Grammy-nominated Kenyon Dixon hit the stage and set the room ablaze with a vocal performance that felt simultaneously effortless and urgent.
The magic didn’t stop with the scheduled lineup. The beauty of this space is the “who’s who” of the entertainment industry that shows up just to bask in the energy. The beautiful Stephanie Ferrett was in the building, adding her own spark to the night’s collective glow.
That is the true hallmark of Taco Tuesday: you never know which global superstar, industry heavyweight, or rising phenom will be standing next to you at the bar or taking an impromptu turn at the mic. Regardless of the surprises, you are guaranteed to leave fulfilled.
Do yourself a favor: Save the date, secure your ticket, and be in the building on March 12th. Same venue. Same time. Don’t miss out on the magic.
