Erin Schwab knows how to work a song, and an audience. She’s built that up over a career in musical theater with the likes of Tina ‘n’ Tony’s Wedding and the national tour of School House Rock Live! That experience allows her to tackle just about anything under the sun, from covers of tunes by the Police to a selection from Avenue Q to originals based on her years as a working performer. Meanwhile, her warm approach and ability to work a crowd can be heard at local gigs at places like Hell’s Kitchen, The Town House, or her album, Martini’s & Cleavage.

Erin can be seen performing her Cabaret act with Jay Fuchs at Hell's Kitchen, Honey and The Townhouse where she also performs with Lori Dokken. She also sings with Metro Jam, Robert Bell's Twin Cities Hot Club and The Wolverines Jazz Trio and Big Band. Most recently, Erin was seen in The Ordway's Broadway Songbook Series: The Music of Stephen Sondheim, and Theater Latte Da's production of Beautiful Thing at The Lab Theater in Mpls and is one of the national hosts of Sing-Along Sound of Music. Erin is a member of both the Ensemble Dapartment and Voice Department Faculty at McNally Smith College of Music and is the Director of the Musical Theater Ensemble whose most recent productions, The Rocky Horror Show, Stephen Sondheim's Assassins, Schoolhouse Rock Live! and Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma!, played to enthusiastic crowds at the History Theater in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Lori Dokken has played and appealed to the patrons of every major and minor music venue in Minneapolis and St. Paul. The "Beloved Twin Cities singer and pianist" (Minneapolis StarTribune, June '96) entertains with an eccentric charm, talent and wit that embraces an audience like an old friend.

Comfortable in radio, television and stage performance. She has been a welcomed guest on numerous radio talk shows, a delightful host for comedy shows and fundraisers and has performed in stage productions and on television. Locally she has appeared on such stages as The Guthrie Theater, The State Theater, the Times Bar and Caf, The Dakota Bar and Grill, the Town House, The Gay 90's, Backstage at Bravo, Ivories, and countless other venues in the Minneapolis-St. Paul areas as well as clubs in Chicago and Los Angeles

Senator Scott Dibble first became involved in politics in the mid-1980's working on issues concerning the civil rights of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) communities including HIV/AIDS. His involvement led to organizing on issues of social and economic justice—especially in the areas of neighborhood livability, transportation, housing, energy and the environment.

He later worked as aide to Minneapolis City Council Member Doré Mead for about 6 years. In 2000, Dibble ran for a seat in the Minnesota House of Representatives, becoming the third openly gay legislator to serve in the Minnesota Legislature. After serving one term in the House, Dibble ran for State Senate in 2002 where he is now serving in his third term. He was the lead author of the bill that established marriage equality in Minnesota.
