CLUB DAY MONDAY - "Tristana Ward & Emily Rubbelke"
Opening Artist - Tristana Ward ... and Featured Artist - Emily Rubbelke. It's a DOUBLE HEADER!!!
Emily Rubbelke
A true artist draws from many skills to create the vision, experience, performance … that they have dreamed of bringing to people to raise a question … inspire an emotion … tell a story that connects … or simply take us away from the world around us for a minute.
Members and supporters of The Woman’s Club have seen Emily in many facets – from overseeing the promotion and media content for the great programming at the club to greeting people at the door who have arrived to not only support The Club, but also take part in a lecture, concert or program that will enrich their lives … or have just stopped in to see what all goes on in this magical, historic space.
Please join us on September 9th for Club Day Monday when Emily will use her warm and authentic voice to gather us together to celebrate the joys, challenges, sorrows and hope for the future that we find in this human experience. An evening not to be missed …

"women on the moon!"- sunday, september 15th - 4:00PM
THIS IS THE LAST PERFORMANCE OF THIS SHOW UNTIL 2025!!!
We're taking this amazing 60s show to The Theatre @ The Woman's Club of Minneapolis!
“Women on the Moon” is a concert and visual event that showcases some of the greatest female artists from the 1960s. The show will celebrate Mama Cass, Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, Cher, Lesley Gore, Grace Slick, Janis Joplin and Dionne Warwick. In addition, it will cover Joan Baez, Diana Ross, Barbra Streisand, Joni Mitchell, Bonnie Raitt and many more.
The 1960s were inarguably the most prolific decade for female vocalists and musicians in many diverse styles and categories. To that end, women launched themselves into the music scene, from pop and folk to rock and rhythm and blues. Moreover, they claimed their space in the mostly male-dominated industry.
Producer and musical director Lori Dokken has assembled some of the Twin Cities’ finest female vocalists. They will transport you back more than fifty years to a time when so many things were static and tumultuous. However, “peace” and “love” were two of the most common words of the era.
Featuring Judi Vinar, Ginger Commodore, Rachel Holder, Patty Peterson and Katie Gearty along with a smokin’ band including Joe Elliott on guitar, David Stanoch on drums,
Ben Kelly on bass and Lori Dokken on piano.

The evening will also be interspersed with words from some well-known writers and celebrities such as Maya Angelou, Terry Tempest Williams, Winona LaDuke, Coretta Scott King, Mary Oliver and more.

"brandi & joni" - SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27th @ 4:00 PM
FEATURING RACHEL HOLDER
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.

Annual September Music Series at Unity Minneapolis - 2024
Sunday morning services at Unity Minneapolis are Live-streamed and in person at 11:30 AM!
Sunday morning services at Unity Minneapolis are Live-streamed and in person at 11:30 AM!
“Our Voices …”
(A de-construction and adaptation of “Shout Sister, Shout!” – a concert event celebrating women composers and writers from the past century.)
Join us for a four-part series of services in September that will feature spoken word, poetry and musical selections composed by writers and composers over the past 100 years that speak to the times that we are living in and will perhaps give us the impetus and heart to use “Our Voices” to affect the change that will change our world for our children and grandchildren.
Every September at Unity Minneapolis we hold a month long “music series” focusing on a style or composer or topic for the month. This year’s series will be a deviation from the previous configuration and will include not only musical selections but also spoken word and poetry selections that amplify the messages that will be delivered.
It seems that we are at a political intersection that has brought us to a place of either turning away and staying silent and being complicit in perhaps total destruction and negation of our country’s promises and values as we have known and experienced them and leading to the end of our democracy. Or … we can choose to head straight into the controversy and discussion and use our strong spiritual beliefs, our choices and most of all our voices to engage a diverse community of citizens to support a common interest of a shared, compassionate, free, equal, hopeful and energized population. This could ensure the survival of not only our founding agreement, The Constitution, but also the belief in and the perpetuation of this great experiment called “The United States of America.” It is a place that began with “Out of many, one” and was born from a dream that extended the invitation that all are welcome to help build this dream of a new land … whose shores would welcome all cultures, religions, ethnicities, sexualities, genders, ages, colors and really anyone who shared the belief that … Out of many … we can become ONE.
We the People … we the people … we the people … ARE the United States of America. Our votes select people to represent us in the community at large and we hope that they vote to support ideas and policies and laws that a MAJORITY of the constituents support.
For this year’s September Music Series I have deconstructed and adapted a concert event that I produce called “Shout Sister, Shout!” which showcases artists, composers and writers from the past century casting focus and light on many subjects such as: freedom, civil rights, indigenous people, democracy, LGBTQ+ communities, racial inequality, “Unwed” mothers (as categorized in history), joy for life, bravery in adversity, children, animals, kindness, and struggles.
Over the course of the month, the musical journey will begin with Sister Rosetta Tharpe and travel through time to today featuring such vocal phenoms as Laura Nyro, Carole King, Nina Simone, Joni Mitchell, Brandi Carlile, Alicia Keys, Karen Carpenter, Oleta Adams, Dolly Parton, Emmy Lou Harris, Linda Ronstadt and Lady Gaga.
The services will also be interspersed with words from some well-known writers and celebrities such as Maya Angelou, Terry Tempest Williams, Winona LaDuke, Coretta Scott King, Mary Oliver, Amanda Gorman, Lily Tomlin, Minnie Pearl and more.
Please join us in September as we go on a journey through the joys, struggles, loves, losses, social concerns and causes of our time using powerful and tender melodies along with words by some of our greatest writers, artists and leaders.
Along this month long journey, we will be reminded of the resilience of the human spirit and our community of shared dreams. I hope we may we be brought to a place where we celebrate all that binds us together and join in a shared chorus to speak, live and promote loudly our prayers for justice, kindness, freedom, equality and humility and continue on the path to create a land where “We the People” get closer to the dream of forming “a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.”
Special Guests for this series include: Rachel Holder, Eden Bodnar, Anna Christy, Joyann Parker, The Unity Choir, David Stanoch, Benjamin Kelly, Pete Hennig and Dave Berget.
