Lori Dokken presents: Just Me (Volume 2)

An Evening of Cabaret, Pop, Humor and Theatre

Join Lori for an evening with … Lori!

The first show was so much fun that we are getting together to do it again with a brand new set list! The first half of Lori Dokken’s 40+ 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.

For this very special encore performance Lori takes center stage on Sunday, May 18th to go back in time a bit to where she began. Patrons can once again expect a set list containing a diverse array of material from her catalogue of almost 45 years in the industry. The evening will feature songs from the 40s to today made famous by such artists as Tracy Chapman, Jim Croce, Dionne Warwick, Elton John, Nina Simone, Billy Joel, Joni Mitchell, Carole King, Bonnie Raitt, Ella, Kenny Loggins … well … you get the idea … with styles ranging from swing to pop to jazz to folk to Broadway to rock and Americana.

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.”
