Lori Dokken and James A. (Jamie) Rocco have been each other’s fans for 15 years.  On Friday, October 30, 2020, at 5 pm, they are joining forces for the first time for a virtual, live-streamed concert from Unity Minneapolis.

Over the past four decades, Lori Dokken has performed at every major venue in the Twin Cities from The Dakota to The Guthrie to The Ordway.   She is a vocalist, pianist, producer, and arranger who is continually being encouraged to write down her many “behind the scenes” stories about playing in piano bars, working on cruise ships, doing singing-telegrams dressed as Wonder Woman and writing letters with Bea Arthur to the editor of The Los Angeles Times. Lori has been the Music Director at Unity Minneapolis for the past 11 years.

James A. Rocco sang back-up to Frank Sinatra at the ripe age of 12 and has not stopped singing since.  He has appeared on Broadway and in major venues worldwide, including Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, Théâtre du Châtelet, and others with the Duke Ellington Band, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Dee Dee Bridgewater, and many others.  From 2005-2017, he was the Producing Artistic Director of the Ordway.
