"We the People ... singing & speaking truth"
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 1st @ 4:00 PM
Please join us for an uplifting, provocative and inspiring concert event on Sunday, November 1st @ 4:00 PM!
Over the years and centuries artists, writers, musicians and composers have brilliantly used their mediums to express feelings, thoughts, emotions, worries, anger and sadness in reaction to their surroundings … political culture … daily life … and the environment. It seems that this need to create and express themselves is spawned from a desire to affect, engage in and change the landscape of the times they are living through.
“We the People” is a concert event that will include spoken word from sources, documents and people such as: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Amanda Gorman, Maya Angelou, Hannah Arendt, Timothy Snyder, The Constitution, The Declaration of Independence and others. These reflections will be surrounded by musical selections made popular by Stevie Wonder, Simon & Garfunkel, Joni Mitchell, The Beatles, Sam Cooke, Buffalo Springfield, Brandi Carlile, Bob Dylan and more.
The afternoon will be guided by actress and Twin Cities resident Linda Kelsey who will present the spoken word sections. (Linda is best known for her role as Billie Newman on the CBS drama television series Lou Grant, which earned her three Golden Globe Award nominations and five Primetime Emmy Award nominations.)
On stage to deliver the musical portion that day will be some of the finest Twin Cities’ artists - Patty Peterson, Ginger Commodore, Judi Vinar, and Rachel Holder along with bassist Ben Kelly, drummer Nate Babbs and pianist/vocalist and music director Lori Dokken.
There will be sing-along opportunities for the audience, and the performers guarantee that we all will leave the experience feeling energized, hopeful and supported by our neighbors and community to continue the work ahead.
“We the People … Singing & Speaking Truth” - Sunday, November 1st @ 4:00 PM

WOMEN ON THE MOON - being rescheduled - date announced soon
DATE WILL BE ANNOUNCED SOON!
Women on the Moon is a concert event that showcases some of our favorite artists from the 1960s such as: Mama Cass, Tina Turner, Aretha, Cher, Dusty Springfield, Lesley Gore, Grace Slick, Janis Joplin, Dionne Warwick, Mavis Staples, Joan Baez, Cher, Ella, Shirley Bassey, Laura Nyro, Diana Ross, Barbra, Joni Mitchell, Bonnie Raitt, Nancy Sinatra, and the great Nina Simone.
The 1960s was one of the most memorable decades of all time in the history of The United States. It started out with the election of President John F. Kennedy and the dawn of “Camelot” and closed out with the first man landing on the moon. In between these bookends would be the assassinations of JFK, RFK and MLK; civil rights legislation; protests; drugs; The Feminine Mystique; Black Power; hippies; Vietnam; Gloria Steinem; Nixon; the Watts riots; Andy Warhol; Stonewall; NOW; The Beatles; Laugh-In; The Rolling Stones; Twiggy; Woodstock; and so many other momentous events.
While men landed on the moon, women artists took their own giant leap into every area of the musical landscape. The ‘60s were inarguably the most prolific decade for female vocalists and musicians in many diverse styles and categories. From pop and folk to rock and roll and rhythm and blues, women launched themselves into the music scene and claimed their space in the mostly male dominated industry.
