Save the dates for the
7th Annual ROCK THE
CURE
Fri, May 1st and Sat, May 2nd, 2009
Please join us for a weekend of fantastic music in honor of women
fighting breast cancer!
Fri, May 1st
- It's an all-request sing along in O'Gara's Shamrock Room, from
8-11pm.
Twin Cities favorite
Michael Loonan
(http://www.michaelloonan.com/ ) will be our very own Piano Man, with his extensive set list and
fabulous energy. Set to a background of pink tablecloths and
candlelight, there's no cover charge for this evening...for
$20 you can request songs all night long. We designed this
party specifically for women going through treatment for
breast cancer, but everyone's welcome.
Sat, May 2nd
- Are you ready to Rock The Cure? Music kicks off early at O'Gara's
Garage with the reunion of the Bruce Springsteen tribute
band Lucky Town,
for an hour-long set of the Boss' best. Don't clear the
dance floor yet - next up is
Concentual
(http://www.concentualtheband.com/)! This band is tight, loud and ready to keep you dancing with songs
by U2, George Michael, Van Morrison, Rolling Stones and
everything in between. We know you'll love them as much as
we do. But don't pull up a barstool yet - we're just getting
started. Last but not least is perennial Rock The Cure
favorite Tim Sigler, and the
Tim Sigler Band
(http://www.timsigler.com/). Bringing country music to Minnesota, this is a band who can make
line-dancing lovers out of anyone! From Johnny Cash to Keith
Urban to Alabama, Tim puts on an amazing show for us year
after year.
Doors open at 7pm, music starts around 8pm - $10 cover
charge for 3 great bands!
Getting excited? We are, too! Throw in a silent auction, the chance
to win two round trip airline tickets, and the opportunity
to bid on Tim Sigler for a private 2-hour acoustic
performance*, and this is a party you don't want to miss.
Remember, 100% of all
proceeds from ticket, silent and live auction, and cool Rock
The Cure merchandise go to Twin Cities breast cancer
charities.
*Tim Sigler's private acoustic auction show to be
scheduled on a weekend afternoon, early evening or
Sunday so it doesn't conflict with another booking.
