Richard Cortez presented by Yardbird Suite

Yardbird Suite 11 Tommy Banks Way NW, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Richard Cortez, vocals
Paul Johnston, acoustic bass
Dave Laing, drums
TBC, piano

Co-Presented by Evolution Wonder Lounge 10220 103 St — Edmonton’s gay bar and entertainment lounge, proudly serving the community since 2013 and excited to keep doing so in our brand new location.

“We love supporting queer artists and talent whenever we can, and love partnering with ally venues, so what better fit is there than us and the Yardbird Suite? Your e-ticket gets you in with no cover for a Friday night on the dance floor”- Team EVO

Multi-million stream NYC-based recording artist and interpreter of The Great American Songbook Richard Cortez makes his Yardbird Suite (and Canada) debut.

Cortez, known for his velvety baritone voice, performs timeless standards with a personal flare all the while honoring the material with a historians sensibility. In a swinging show comprised of well known songs performed by Frank Sinatra, Mel Tormé, and Tony Bennett as well as rare gems unearthed by Richard’s vast knowledge of this cherished repertoire - this is an appearance not to be missed!

Richard just wrapped a national tour promoting Mood Swings that included venues like Cafe Vivace, The Black Cat and Catalina Club where he headlined his own show as well as opened for 96 year old jazz legend Marilyn Maye. Recent performances in distinguished productions such as Live at Emmet’s Place with the Emmet Cohen Trio, or Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Jazz at Pride with Tony/Grammy Award winner Bryan Carter, have marked the vocalist’s career for success.
Richard Cortez’s personalized renderings of timeless treasures by Cole Porter, The Gershwin Brothers, Jerome Kern, and so many others deliver sweetness, self-assuredness and disarming vulnerability with a well-timed wit. Richard breathes exciting new life into this beloved material, forever reminding us that as we progress as a society, so do our stories told within these sacred songs.

International Day of Pink

EVO on Jasper 11508 Jasper Avenue NW, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

ECHO Tour: Voices That Still Resonate
Echoes of Resistance. Echoes of Recognition. Echoes of Change.

This year, the Day of Pink ECHO Tour travels across Canada, bringing together powerful storytellers, poets, activists, and community leaders to share the 2SLGBTQIA+ stories that once faced censorship—and still fight for space today.

From courtrooms to bookstores, family tables to federal law, queer and trans voices have always resisted silence. This tour honours that resistance, marking 25 years since two defining moments in Canadian queer history:
The Supreme Court case Little Sisters Bookstore v. Canada
The passing of the Modernization of Benefits and Obligations Act

But this tour is not just about the past—it’s about the stories still echoing now. Stories that shape who we are and where we go next.

 WHAT TO EXPECT
The ECHO Tour is an evening of poetry, conversation, reflection, and truth-telling.
Our speakers will share stories from history and lived experience—stories that would have been censored 25 years ago, and in many places, still are.

This is not just a show. It’s a call to listen.

 FEATURED SPEAKERS INCLUDE:
Adrienne Rosen • AJ Dolman • Kate Krug • Khashayar Mohammadi • Libby Davies • Schuyler Smith • Veronica Merryfield • Glenn Tkach • Cheri DiNovo
...and many more!

October 19, 2025 – Edmonton
with Libby Davies, Adrienne Rosen

 GET INVOLVED
Tickets are free and open to all. Join us for an unforgettable night of stories, solidarity, and shared purpose.
