A candlelit, intimate acoustic night, celebrating survivors and women going through treatment for breast cancer. Welcome to the Rock The Cure line-up to Trick 27, an acoustic duo with 200+ songs on their request list! O'Gara's Shamrock Room, 8pm to 11pm. No cover charge, just a $20 donation to request a song, or $40 to get up and sing with Todd and Rick. 

Saturday, May 3rd
Full-blown concert event, featuring Tim Sigler's Lucky Town Band. For the Lucky Town faithful and Springsteen fans, there'll be one full set of your favorite Bruce hits, the way the band hasn't played them in over a year. Later, Tim will mix it up with classic rock and country hits to keep you dancing all night long. Opening for Lucky Town, and back by popular demand, is the Street Team from the St Paul School of Rock. They blew the crowd away last year, with a fantastic set of 80's and 90's rock covers, and are coming back to fill the dance floor and warm up the crowd. Along with a night of great music, there will be a live auction, silent auction, all new merchandise to buy, a drawing for two plane tickets, and more!

Luckytown:          9:30 - 10:30

Live Auction
