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. Lori Dokken : Vocals, Piano, Music Director David Stanoch : Drums Benjamin Kelly : Bass Produced by Lori Dokken and Stuart Paster 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.” Learn more about Lori at - www.loridokken.com Information Source: Crooners Supper Club and Showroom | eventbrite

Join Milkweed Books and poet Michael Torres as welcome Steven Espada Dawson to launch his debut poetry collection, Late to the Search Party. Steven will read from his book and join in conversation around poetry, craft, belonging, and identity in the immigrant communities with Michael. There will be audience questions, book sales, and a signing to follow. ABOUT THE BOOK A raw, crystalline debut poetry collection exploring themes of family, addiction, belonging, and loss—a searching elegy of the fissures that have come to define contemporary American life. The unsettled border between absence and presence haunts this stunning collection, in which poet laureate Steven Espada Dawson contemplates belonging, identity, family, and grief in poems about his own half-immigrant Mexican American family: his dying mother who raised him, his addict brother who has been missing for more than a decade, and his absent father. Chronicled in four parts, shifting restlessly between childhood memories, the sudden disappearance of his brother, and the inevitable loss of his ailing mother, Late to the Search Party explores what it means to be a family of one—to be orphaned, whether by fate or by circumstance. In language that is both grounded and ethereal, Dawson tallies the losses and looks at what remains: the frustration and anger, the bewilderment and sadness—and the affection and humor that makes itself felt in spite of everything. A vivid and thoughtful meditation on love and loss, Late to the Search Party is an ode to the families that inspire and confound us all. ABOUT THE SPEAKERS Steven Espada Dawson is from East Los Angeles. The son of a Mexican immigrant, he is a former Ruth Lilly Fellow and Wisconsin Institute for Creative Writing Fellow. His poems appear in many journals and have been anthologized in Best New Poets, Best of the Net, Pushcart Prize, and Sarabande’s Another Last Call: Poems on Addiction & Deliverance. He has taught creative writing at universities, libraries, and prisons across the country. He lives in Madison, Wisconsin, where he serves as poet laureate. Michael Torres was born and brought up in Pomona, California where he spent his adolescence as a graffiti artist. His debut collection of poems, An Incomplete List of Names (Beacon Press, 2020) was selected by Roque Raquel Salas Rivera for the National Poetry Series and named one of NPR’s Books We Love, 2020. Currently he’s an Associate Professor in the MFA program at Minnesota State University, Mankato, and a teaching artist with the Minnesota Prison Writing Workshop.

Join Karen Babine and Marya Hornbacher at Open Book for a reading and discussion of Karen’s forthcoming book, The Allure of Elsewhere . ABOUT THE BOOK One woman’s cross-country journey to explore the hold family history has on our lives, and the power of new stories to shape what lies ahead. In her mid-thirties and happily single, Karen Babine hitches up her tiny Scamp camper and sets out with her two unenthusiastic cats, Galway and Maeve, on a journey from her home in Minnesota to Nova Scotia to explore the place where her French-Acadian ancestors settled in North America some four centuries ago. As the miles roll by, she wonders: “Why do we carry this need to belong to an established history? What happens when that can’t—or shouldn’t—happen?” The road reveals more questions than answers about her history, identity, and belonging, about the responsibilities of stories and silence, about her life choices as a solo woman, and what it means to be driven by both a strong sense of kinship to a very close-knit family on one hand and a deep desire for independence on the other. Capturing the joy, freedom, and powerful pull of the open road, The Allure of Elsewhere is about the stories we’re told, the stories we tell, and the way those stories make us who we are, often in surprising ways. Intimate, curious, and candid, written with wry wit and warmth, this is a courageous and inspiring memoir. ABOUT THE AUTHORS Karen Babine is the two-time Minnesota Book Award–winning author of All the Wild Hungers: A Season of Cooking and Cancer and Water and What We Know: Following the Roots of a Northern Life and the editor of Assay: A Journal of Nonfiction Studies . She is currently an UC Foundation Associate Professor of English at the University of Tennessee–Chattanooga. Marya Hornbacher is an award-winning journalist and the New York Times bestselling author of five books. She has received the Annie Dillard Award for Nonfiction, the Logan Fellowship for Social Justice Journalism, the White Award for Magazine Journalism, the ASCAP Award for Music Journalism, the Fountain House Humanitarian Award, and other distinctions. Her work appears in publications including New York Times, Smithsonian Magazine, Crazyhorse, AGNI, Arts & Letters, Gulf Coast , and others. She is the creator of the the bestselling Substack "Going Solo at the End of the World," a multi-media report from the American road, and her sixth book, Solo, will be published by Grand Central/Hachette in early 2027.

Join us, Wednesday, May 21st for our Women Who Whiskey event at Brother Justus! If you've been with us for awhile, you may remember the first event we did with this distillery in their former NE location. We're excited to be welcomed back for a second event in their larger expanded space! A little bit about the distillery: During Prohibition, a real-life Minnesota monk named Brother Justus built copper stills and taught farmers the fine art of making whiskey. Fast-forward to today, and his rebellious spirit lives on in every sip of Brother Justus American Single Malt Whiskey. Inspired by their namesake, Brother Justus doesn’t follow rules, they follow flavor. That means no made-up folklore, buying another distillery’s whiskey and bottling up as their own, or adding fake flavors to give whiskey depth and character. Just painstakingly handcrafted American Single Malt, 100% distilled by them at their state-of-the-art distillery in Northeast Minneapolis, using nothing but 100% malted barley, aging in custom charred white oak barrels, and peat that’s sourced with respect for the land. From the bright, crisp, Silver Whiskey to the rich, smooth expression of their American Single Malt, to the world’s first — and only — Cold-Peated® Whiskey, you have to taste it to believe it! Join Women Who Whiskey as we learn more about Brother Justus and the history of whiskey making in Minnesota!

A coming-of-middle-age novel about an Ahkwesáhsne man's reluctant return home and what it takes to heal. Abe Jacobs is Kanien'kehá ka from Ahkwesáhsne--or, as white people say, a Mohawk Indian from the Saint Regis Tribe. At eighteen Abe left the reservation where he was raised and never looked back. Now forty-three, Abe is suffering from a rare disease--one his doctors in Miami believe will kill him. Running from his diagnosis and a failing marriage, Abe returns to the Rez, where he's convinced to undergo a healing at the hands of his Great Uncle Budge. But Budge--a wry recovered alcoholic prone to wearing punk t-shirts--isn't all that convincing. And Abe's time off the Rez has made him a thorough skeptic. To heal, Abe will undertake a revelatory journey, confronting the parts of himself he's hidden ever since he left home and learning to cultivate hope, even at his darkest hour. Delivered with crackling wit, Old School Indian is a striking exploration of the power and secrets of family, the capacity for healing and catharsis, and the ripple effects of history and culture. “With its profound exploration of identity, language, and cultural survival, Old School Indian is a novel of pure heart and mastery. Through the vivid and deeply human lives of a Mohawk family, Curtis weaves a narrative that is both urgent and timeless, drawing us into a world where every word, every action, carries the weight of history and the hope for the future.” - MORGAN TALTY, AUTHOR OF NIGHT OF THE LIVING REZ AND FIRE EXIT “Old School Indian is an inspired novel by an author whose voice absolutely sizzles on the page. Aaron John Curtis has given us a moving story of self-discovery that journeys through the crucibles of sickness, history, identity, family, and loss—all told by one of the most inventive, funny, brash narrators you’ll ever find. A beautiful, dazzling debut.” - NATHAN HILL, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF WELLNESS AND THE NIX “Aaron John Curtis gives us honest storytelling shaped by humor, sincerity, and heartbreak. His characters are drawn with strength from his Indigenous community and skillfully cured by tradition and hope. Old School Indian is a novel that reminds us of an essential truth: when one person heals the entire community can feel it.” - OSCAR HOKEAH, PEN/HEMINGWAY AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF CALLING FOR A BLANKET DANCE Aaron John Curtis is an enrolled member of the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe, which he’ll tell you is the white name for the American side of Akwesasne. Aaron has judged for the Center for Fiction’s First Novel Prize, the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance prizes, the 2019 Kirkus Prize for Nonfiction, and the 2021 National Book Award for Nonfiction. Since 2004, Aaron has been Quartermaster at Books & Books, Miami’s largest independent bookstore. He lives in Miami. ​Mona Susan Poweris the author of four books of fiction, including The Grass Dancer (a National Bestseller awarded a PEN/Hemingway Prize), Roofwalker (a collection of stories and essays awarded the Milkweed National Fiction Prize), Sacred Wilderness (a novel which received the Electa Quinney Award), and A Council of Dolls (winner of the Minnesota Book Award and High Plains Book Award, longlisted for the National Book Award and the Carol Shields Prize).
