“Singin' in the Kitchen" ... presented by Lori Dokken
Feat: Judi Vinar, Patty Peterson, Ginger Commodore, Rachel Holder, Joyann Parker and Lori Dokken
“Singin' in the Kitchen” says it all ... 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.
Judi, Patty, Ginger, Joyann, Rachel and Lori 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 us for an evening of holiday favorites!

The Woman’s Club of Minneapolis is a 501(c)(3) community organization located in a stunning Italianate, six-story mansion overlooking Loring Park in downtown Minneapolis. The Club is a gathering place for active, interesting women and men of all ages and backgrounds. The Woman’s Club of Minneapolis has provided a splendid retreat for outstanding women and men since 1907.
Today the Woman’s Club continues to be a vibrant community that embraces people from a variety of backgrounds. The current Clubhouse, built in 1928, has been designated by the City of Minneapolis as a Historic Treasure and offers breathtaking views of Loring Park and downtown Minneapolis.
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.

"People Get Ready ... Stand Up"
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 as we celebrate “National Grandparents Day” by singing some of our favorite songs and also raising funds for a fantastic local youth theatre arts organization called ETC Productions founded by Erin Schwab and Emily Villano. They currently have a full summer of productions being presented all around the Twin Cities. The two of them have truly harnessed the power of making a smaller budget go a phenomenally long way.
Lori will be joined by local favorites: Judi Vinar, Patty Peterson, Jennifer Grimm, Rachel Holder, Ginger Commodore, Aimee Lee, Emily Villano and Erin Schwab. You can expect a few, much younger “short people” to join in on the fun and sing with us!
This cabaret event will be paired with a Go Fund Me opportunity for supporters and guests to donate to ETC Productions to help them continue to bring the magic of theatre arts to our local youth! (To donate go to www.gofundme.com and in the search box enter: Our Voices Our Choices Our Children)
What a FANTASTIC family affair on a beautiful, fall Sunday afternoon! Let’s get together and help our children continue to grow and thrive!
