About this Event
Join Lori for an evening with … Lori!
The first two shows were so much fun that Lori and the boys are getting together to do it again with a brand new set list and they are going to hang out in the jazz/blues/swing world!
For this encore performance Lori takes center stage on Sunday, March 15th in The Dunsmore Room to feature a bunch of swinging tunes, smokey ballads and some sultry blues songs made popular by such artists as Diana Krall, Ella, Dinah Washington, Bonnie Raitt, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Alberta Hunter, Al Jarreau and others! Expect such tunes as Drinking Again, Blue Rondo a la Turk, Feeling Good, Angel from Montgomery, Caravan, Fascinating Rhythm, Spain, Lush Life and more!
The first half of Lori Dokken’s 45+ year career in the music industry was spent working alone a lot … in cabarets, piano bars and hosting open mics. The second half has focused more on being a player, producer and music director for many sold out, innovative and creative presentations focused on women in the music industry over the past 100 years. Joining Lori on stage again will be her friends - drummer David Stanoch and bassist Benjamin Kelly.

In 1992, Minnesota StarTribune music critic, Jon Bream said:
“Dokken is an eccentric cabaret performer with an abundance of talent and personality. Her piano playing has as much personality as she does. And her playing, like her singing, is all over the musical spectrum …
Dokken is an unabashed ham who performs with high, albeit engaging, drama. She has an expressive face even though she sings with her eyes closed. She’s all arched eyebrows, furrowed brow, dimples and grimaces. Her voice has the dramatic flair to match her face. She sings with the clarity of a modern-day Judy Collins and sounds like a Broadway version of a husky-voiced Laura Nyro.
At times she seems like a race-car driver without a map or brakes. Invariably, her quick wit and her equally quick musical instincts save her. She is never less than entertaining.”
