Cha Cha Cha @ Margie's
Cha Cha Cha is so excited to be back at Margie’s Kitchen in Andover!
Come join us for some food and drinks and a night of music. We love to take requests!
The songs we love to hear, and have to sing; Cha Cha Cha makes all of us remember why our bells ring. From classic bossanova to radio stars, this duo does it all while you sit back and sip some rum and citrus drink. Wherever you listen, the vocal stylings of Rachel Holder will put you back in a Cape Cod canopy feeling the sand at your feet, and the wavey guitar sounds of Benjamin Kelly will have everyone feeling the surf in their seats.

Painting Joni
Lori Dokken presents …
“Painting Joni … Celebrating the Music of a Master”
Let’s celebrate Joni Mitchell with a concert event that will highlight some of Mitchell’s most popular works including Big Yellow Taxi, Both Sides Now, A Case of You, The Circle Game, Woodstock and many more.
A self-described “painter derailed by circumstance” and hailed by Rolling Stone as “one of the greatest songwriters ever,” Joni Mitchell’s music paints social and environmental issues using a poetic style while addressing the universal feelings of romantic longing, loss, disillusion and joy. A nine-time Grammy award winner, along with seven other nominations, Mitchell’s music blazed new trails in the industry with her unique open tunings, alternative harmonic structure and lyrical styling that touches the hearts of all who hear it.
This show features vocalists Judi Vinar and Rachel Holder withpianist/vocalist Lori Dokken.
A Return to Studio 54
Studio 54 burst onto the scene in 1977 and its glamour and pageantry defined the disco era. Certainly Studio 54 was a place to party, but in its intermingling of art and culture, the club was a kind of performance piece in and of itself. The club’s admission policy only let in a select few … however it drew a mix of denizens from ALL walks of life, and the club offered a haven where people from diverse backgrounds, sexual orientations and gender identities could come together without judgment. On any night the guests might include Liza Minnelli, Andy Warhol, Grace Jones, the drag queen Divine and Bianca Jagger along with patrons of all races, socio economic scales and sexual orientation. Even though the original club was only open for three years … it created a space where all were welcome to come and dance, party, people watch and just celebrate being together.
It’s time for “A RETURN TO STUDIO 54!”
Some of the artists featured in the show include Evelyn “Champagne” King, Chaka Khan, Diana Ross, The Pointer Sisters, Tina Turner, Gloria Gaynor, Donna Summer, The Weather Girls and many more! A few of the disco classics you will experience are Shame, I’m Every Woman, I Will Survive, It’s Raining Men, Boogie, Oogie Oogie, Don’t Leave Me This Way, We Are Family, No More Tears (Enough is Enough) … We’re going to leave it there. We don’t want to give everything away!
