If they do, you can rest assured that it will be the most memorable version that you have heard! You will definitely be guaranteed a good time with lots of hysterical humor and good old fashioned fun! (Okay ... there will be plenty of romantic songs to pick from ... as well as a healthy outlook on the reality of relationships.) Show starts at 9:00 p.m. www.timesbarandcafe.com

“the girls”, Lori Dokken,
Judi Donaghy, Erin Schwab and Patty Peterson, have been cooking
up new arrangements filled with the fabulous four part harmonies
that Twin Cities’ audiences have been eating up for the past
six years.
The youngest in the group, Erin Schwab, brings a vast musical theatre background and is the anchor of the humor department. For several years she played “Tina” in “Tony & Tina’s Wedding” and has appeared in productions all across the Twin Cities, from The Ordway to The Bryant Lake Bowl
Judi Donaghy is a member of Bobby McFerrin’s a cappella vocal group, “Voicestra” and is Head of the Voice Department at McNally Smith College of Music.She is an award winning songwriter and in addition to her own recordings, “Sink Or Swing” and “Ballads and Bossas”, she is a featured vocalist on numerous other CDs .
Lori Dokken, like a musical chef, remains the band. A veteran of Minneapolis/St.Paul cabaret performance; a producer, pianist, vocalist and arranger, she has worked with or opened for such notables as: Bobby McFerrin, Beatrice Arthur, Jennifer Holiday, Eartha Kitt and Tony Bennett. Lori breaks all the rules yet manages to deliver the evening's fare on a silver platter.
The addition of legendary vocalist Patty Peterson has injected a soul filled edge and smoky flavor to “the girls” ballad renditions and R & B tunes. An award winning jazz recording artist, Patty has also recorded and performed with such musical luminaries as David Sanborn, Hiram Bullock, Steve Miller, Donny Osmond, Ben Sidran, Sergio Mendes and Oleta Adams.
“the girls” regrouped, is a “hot” dish that will have you coming back for more.
