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.

Live Auction
Back by popular demand, you can buy Tim Sigler! Get your friends together, then join Tim at Macaluso's Road House in St Paul for one of his Thurs night acoustic shows. Your VIP party will make up the set list; Tim's like a human juke box, and will play your requests all night long!

Silent Auction
Back by popular demand silent auction items include guitars autographed by Bon Jovi and Bret Michaels, plus a drawing to win 2 round-trip plane tickets. Must be present to win!
