Please join us for a concert event celebrating the music and friendship of two of the greatest female singer/songwriters of the past 60 years - Brandi Carlile & Joni Mitchell!
It seems to make perfect sense that these two musical meteors have collided and now are sharing the concert stage together. Brandi and Joni both possess an authentic and pure vision in their lyrics and melody that cuts through any false narrative of writing and performing to possess fame. It’s about truth and connection.
In an interview with the BBC, Joni Mitchell said: “If you listen to that music and you see me, you’re not getting anything out of it. If you listen to that music and you see yourself, it’ll probably make you cry, and you’ll learn something about yourself and now you’re getting. something out of it.”
Rachel Holder is the perfect artist to present some of her (and our) cherished tunes by these two phenomenal female icons of the industry. Rachel possesses the same authenticity in her delivery and with each tune goes to a place where we not only see, but can vividly hear her connection to the deep, personal side of each selection. In each song, Rachel sees herself.

Join Lori for an evening with … Lori!
The first half of Lori Dokken’s 40+ year career in the music industry was spent working alone a lot … in cabarets, piano bars and hosting open mics. The second half has focused more on being a player, producer and music director for many sold out, innovative and creative presentations focused on women in the music industry over the past 100 years.
For this very special performance Lori takes center stage on Sunday, November 24th to go back in time a bit to where she began.
Patrons can expect a set list containing a diverse array of material from her catalogue of almost 45 years in the industry. The evening will feature songs from the 40s to today made famous by such artists as Bonnie Raitt, Tracy Chapman, Jim Croce, Dionne Warwick, Rickie Lee Jones, Elton John, Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Ella, David Bowie, The Pointer Sisters, Kenny Loggins … well … you get the idea … with styles ranging from swing to pop to jazz to folk to Broadway to rock and Americana.
Joining Lori will be her friends - drummer David Stanoch and bassist Benjamin Kelly.
In 1992, Minnesota StarTribune music critic, Jon Bream said:
“Dokken is an eccentric cabaret performer with an abundance of talent and personality. Her piano playing has as much personality as she does. And her playing, like her singing, is all over the musical spectrum …
Dokken is an unabashed ham who performs with high, albeit engaging, drama. She has an expressive face even though she sings with her eyes closed. She’s all arched eyebrows, furrowed brow, dimples and grimaces. Her voice has the dramatic flair to match her face. She sings with the clarity of a modern-day Judy Collins and sounds like a Broadway version of a husky-voiced Laura Nyro.
At times she seems like a race-car driver without a map or brakes. Invariably, her quick wit and her equally quick musical instincts save her. She is never less than entertaining.”
And in 1994, Skyway News writer Tricia Booker wrote:
“Pardon Lori Dokken if she doesn’t act like a star. She sings like one - belting out old favorites in a smoky-velvet voice. She looks like one, too, with tanned sculpted cheekbones and a flashy white smile. But Dokken is pure entertainer, the way entertainers are supposed to be.”

That magical place where we share so much together during our lifetimes. That warm haven where we talk about our struggles, our successes, our loves and sometimes our losses – the kitchen holds all of our secrets and stories.
Lori, Patty, Rachel, Judi, Ginger and Joyann will reach into their bag of personal favorites and offer their collection of remembrances about those snapshots in time when we quietly smile and remember all that really matters in this life. Please join them for an evening (and matinee) of holiday favorites.
