Lori Dokken Presents

WE ARE BACK AT THE DAKOTA  and we hope that you will join us for an evening celebrating some of the greatest women singers and songwriters ever! With Lori Dokken at the piano, Twin Cities’ vocalists Judi Vinar, Patty Peterson and Rachel Holder will turn the stage into a celebration of some of the matriarchs of music. Sit back and enjoy the vibrant vocal harmonies these girls put to tunes made famous by such divas as Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Annie Lennox, Carole King, Tina Turner, Judy Garland, Christina Aguilera and many more. It promises to be a fantastic evening of hearing these women “roar” as only they can!

1927’s The Jazz Singer was the first feature-length motion picture with synchronized sound. It caused a sensation, and ever since movies have burst with song. “Blue Skies,” “Over the Rainbow,” “I’ve Had the Time of My Life,” and “This Is Me” are just a few unforgettable titles to be knocked out of the park by 

Don’t miss this exciting cavalcade of Hollywood’s greatest hits!

Lori Dokken Presents 

“Our Voices … Our Choices …” - an encore presentation

Please join us for a very exciting acoustic piano and vocal show - featuring some of the Twin Cities’ favorite female vocalists performing some of their favorite songs. 

Pianist and producer, Lori Dokken, will be joined by Judi Vinar, Patty Peterson, Ginger Commodore, Rachel Holder, Connie Evingson and Ellis Delaney. 

This is a cabaret style event that celebrates women and brings attention to the current struggle to ensure that all women have the right to make their own health care decisions.

A portion of the producer’s share of ticket sales will be donated to Planned Parenthood of MN, SD & ND. Audience members will be invited to join in supporting this essential and valued organization. 

If Prayer is the Prelude ... 'Amen' is the call to action!

Join us for the September 2022 Music Series - a month filled with inspiring, poignant, timely, truthful, soulful, energizing and thought-provoking music that speaks to the very challenging times that we are living through.

The Unity Minneapolis Music Team will feature selections from a wide variety of artists from the past 70 years, such as: The Staple Singers, Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Michael Jackson, James Taylor, India.Arie, Kenny Loggins, Cat Stevens, Laura Nyro, Cynthia Erivo, Simon & Garfunkel, John Legend, Curtis Mayfield, Tracy Chapman, Brandi Carlisle, Alicia Keys and many more.

Experiencing the music of these artists will help us all recharge our faith and belief in humanity and perhaps free us from our COVID coma and set us on a path to being reminded of how our voices and actions can affect monumental change. Change that will lift up our sisters and brothers from the despair and struggles that are surrounding us.

History shows us that energized and passionate leaders from diverse factions of life have had a divine ability to move us toward the light and invite us to join in the chorus of change … which is often accompanied by some of the most influential and inspirational music of our times.

When we see … hear … feel … and join together with our neighbors in need, I believe we can fully realize that we ARE one with each other on this journey to “Seek justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God.” (Micah 6:8)

Let the people say ‘Amen.’

Musical Guests for this series include: Ginger Commodore, Judi Vinar, Rachel Holder, Michael Monroe, David Stanoch, Pete Hennig and Dave Berget. 

Join us for a live happy hour on my Facebook page ... usually happening on most Thursdays.

Rachel Holder will  join me on Thursday, June 17th and I am TOTALLY looking forward to it!
