  • @5 on Friday Virtual Concert Series Featuring THREE -- 5/8/2020

    Unity Minneapolis Presents @5:00 on Friday a Virtual Concert.  


    “THREE” is the brand-new brainchild trio of local Twin Cities’ musicians – Judi Vinar, Rachel Holder and Lori Dokken. These three artists have not only been friends for many years but have also been colleagues in a diverse array of musical groups and productions. “Three” brings together a triad of diverse voices that are skilled in multiple styles and genres and the end product is an incredible performance that unites them into a singular sound – rich in color, character, confidence and the sonic seasoning of experience. Three represents so many things … past, present and future … beginning, middle and end … body, mind and soul … Judi, Rachel and Lori.

    THREE Bios

    Lori Dokken – Over the past four decades, Lori has performed at every major venue in the Twin Cities from The Dakota to The Guthrie to The Ordway. A sought-after accompanist, she is also a successful concert producer, educator, vocal coach, arranger, and vocalist. Currently the Music Director at Unity Minneapolis, she has also been the MD for everything from ensembles at McNally Smith College of Music to acts at the Bryant Lake Bowl and recently was the Music Director for Disenchanted during its successful run at The Illusion Theatre in November 2014. She has produced headline shows for cruise ships as well as local cabaret acts and has opened for legends like Eartha Kitt, Carole King and Tony Bennett. Lori has sung backups for Kenny Loggins and shared the stage with Beatrice Arthur. Her diverse production credits include sold out shows at The Hopkin’s Center for the Arts, The Dakota Jazz Club, The Chanhassen Dinner Theatre and many local concert venues. She partnered with The Ordway Center for the Performing Arts to produce “Painting Joni” – a concert featuring the music of Joni Mitchell for which she was also the Musical Director, Arranger and one of the featured performers. She was the Entertainment Producer for five years for an HIV/AIDS fund raiser called “Healing of the Hearts” which netted over $500,000 in proceeds for The Aliveness Project and also founded and produced a charity golf tournament for ten years that raised close to $250,000 for One Heartland.

    Judi Vinar – Judi Vinar has been singing since the age of four and began her professional career in 1983. Her initial focus was in the areas of folk, country, musical theatre and opera and early on in her career she branched out to explore jazz, pop, r and b, rock, gospel … and now she pretty much covers any style or genre.

    In 1987, Judi moved to the Twin Cities and has developed long term musical relationships with many of the Twin Cities finest: Lori Dokken, “The Wolverines Classic Jazz Orchestra”, “St. Croix Jazz Orchestra”, “JazzMN Big Band”, “The Girls”, and her own “Judi, Cliff ‘n’ Daves”.
    In 1997, Judi began working with singer extraordinaire Bobby McFerrin, and joined his a cappella group “Voicestra” in 2001. Currently, she is touring with Mr. McFerrin in his five-piece a cappella group “Gimme5”.

    Rachel Holder – Rachel Holder is a musician living in St. Paul, Minnesota. Her versatile vocals have been heard performing alongside some the most familiar names in the Twin Cities music scene. She is a regular presence at venues such as The Dakota Jazz Club, Hell’s Kitchen, and Crooners Lounge and Supper Club as well as being featured in a variety of concerts at the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts, The History Theatre and the Chanhassen Fireside Theater.
