Want to bring the classic sounds of Funk and Disco to your next event? The Funk Brotherhood has got you covered. The Funk Brotherhood is Athens, Georgia’s hottest party band. From the horn-driven hits of Kool & the Gang, to the chart-topping vocals of Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson, The Funk Brotherhood does not disappoint with its high-energy performance. Dank, formerly Dank Sinatra, is the next installment in what is a long and storied history of Rock and Roll music. Combining rhythm and blues tradition with a modern sense of urgency and experimentation, Dank is pulling Rock music into the 21st century as it was meant to be heard and experienced. With energetic and unpredictable live performances, as well as a knack for the studio and all of its wizardry, this Atlanta five-piece is showing fans what it takes to rock in the torrid seas of a post-Napster musical climate. This event is 18 and over.

Bucket List
A Hidden
Paradise
The “Hidden Beach” of Marieta Islands
Some beautiful places are formed by nature. Others? Military testing—at least, that’s the case with Marieta Islands’ “Hidden Beach,” a stretch of pristine white sand cut off from the world by a collapsed stone roof. Spend an afternoon in the beautiful, sunny landscape surrounded by marine life. The islands are about an hour long boat ride west-northwest from the coast of Puerto Vallarta and are visited daily by hundreds of tourists. Situated in a sort of open sun-drenched crater, this beach is artificial and was created by the explosion of a bomb that landed accidentally in this location during military trials in the past century. Affectionately nicknamed the “hidden beach” or “beach of love” (Playa del Amor), it is accessible only when the tide is low. Kick back and relax on the short stretch of beach half covered by a wall of rocks. This is one of the most bio-diverse places in Mexico, were you might spot sea turtles, stingrays, dolphins, humpback whales, and hundreds of birds. Slip back through the tunnel for a light lunch on your boat before continuing a tour around the rest of the islands.
