Sing-A-Long Thursdays at Unity Minneapolis
May 31st - June 21st - July 19th - August 16th - hosted by Rachel Holder Hennig and Lori Dokken
Many people have asked me over the years to have an evening where we can just hang out ... sing some of our favorite tunes from all kinds of categories ... maybe a little open mic ... silly songs ... poignant ones ... easy peasy ones ... and intricate Broadway belters.
Well - HERE'S YOUR CHANCE !!!! Woo Hoo!
We'll gather around 6:30 in The Fillmore Room and make music from about 7 to 9. Absolutely EVERYONE is welcome to attend. We'll do a lot of very familiar songs along with as many of your requests as we can get to over the course of each evening. We will also put lyrics up on a screen for those who need them.
Bring your friends ... be casual and comfortable. Its going to be a TON of fun!

Join us for an evening celebrating some of the greatest women singers and songwriters ever! With Lori Dokken at the piano and an all girl rhythm section (including bassist Joan Griffith and percussion Beth Varela), Twin Cities' vocalists Judi Vinar, Debbie Duncan, Patty Peterson and Rachel Holder Hennig turn the Fireside Theatre 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!
