AN EVENING WITH ... KARRIN Allyson & LORI Dokken in concert
Monday - August 6th - 7:00 PM - Tickets - $25
Join us at Unity Minneapolis for an intimate evening of music presented by five-time Grammy nominee, Karrin Allyson and “Beloved Twin Cities’ singer and pianist” (StarTribune), Lori Dokken. These longtime friends combine forces on stage for the first time to collaborate on a collage of musical selections, from jazz standards to Broadway tunes to Karrin’s originals and more than likely a Joni Mitchell song or two.
These grounded, authentic women promise to take you away from it all and bring you back to earth feeling energized and filled with soul and sass. Truly … an evening not to be missed.
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!
