Women on the Moon is a concert event that showcases some of our favorite female 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.
Producer and Musical Director, Lori Dokken, has assembled some of the Twin Cities’ finest female vocalists to transport us back more than fifty years to a time when so many things were static and tumultuous, and yet “peace” and “love” were two of the most circulated words of the era. Bringing their own unique interpretations to a diverse compilation of music from this decade are such local artists as: Judi Vinar, Patty Peterson, Ginger Commodore, Rachel Holder, and Joyann Parker along with a smokin’ band of Twin Cities’ A-listers.
Performed at The Ordway Center for the Performing Arts in October of 2019, this reprise of the concert will come to you in two parts – one in January 2022 and the second part during the spring/summer of 2022.

"singin' in the kitchen" - december 18 and 19 at crooners!
"The Women's Club" Series at Crooners!
The kitchen is that magical place where we share so much together during our lifetimes. It is that warm haven where we feel totally at ease and talk about our struggles, our successes, our loves and sometimes our losses. The kitchen holds our secrets and stories. This “Women’s Club” will reach into their bag of personal favorites and offer a collection of remembrances about those snapshots in time when we quietly smile and remember all that really matters in this life. When we open our eyes and see with our hearts, we are reminded of the richness and joy in our lives. Featuring: Judi Vinar, Patty Peterson, Rachel Holder and Lori Dokken reunite for this (now) traditional event and are joined by new members of “The Women’s Club” - Ginger Commodore and Joyann Parker.
Join us for an old fashioned holiday evening of hanging out around the piano and singing the songs of the season!
Shows are Saturday, December 18th at 8:00 PM and Sunday, December 19th at 4:00 PM.
"The Women's Club" Series at Crooners!
Lori Dokken is teaming up with Crooners to launch a new series of shows featuring The Women’s Club.
The Women’s Club is a new concept group that is an evolving and revolving compilation of some of the best female singers in the Twin Cities. Their mission is to bring you some songs you’ve never heard; some tunes that you have forgotten; some you’ve heard a million times and to always deliver them highlighting the message behind the music.
This inaugural venture starts off with a series of four different shows produced once a month during November through February. Each show will be presented on a Saturday night at 8PM and Sunday afternoon at 4PM on Crooners Main Performance Stage. Individual or full series tickets are available. Purchasing tickets in November for all four shows in this series brings a total price discount of $20. (When purchasing a series ticket please choose the Saturday night or Sunday afternoon option.)
