THE MUSIC

**UPDATE** Tis a fine Irish weather day with a wee bit of a chill and sprinkle in the air! FINNEGANS ShamROCK is still on, but will be held indoors at the Cabooze instead of outside. The music line up and times are still on the original schedule. We're still going to have a rockin' time!

Great beer, great music, all for charity. Really.
Get your music karma on with some of the best artists on the planet. Enjoy the fresh air and warm sunshine with live music outside 4:30pm-10:00pm then rock all night indoors at The Cabooze 10:00pm-2:00am.


4:30pm to 5:30pm

Jump-starting the event will be the ever-popular local musician, Tim Mahoney, who recently won Ray Ban’s nationwide “Never Hide” songwriting contest sponsored by Rolling Stone and Myspace with a portfolio of honest, pensive and infectiously catchy songs.


5:45pm to 6:45pm

Jeremy Messersmith, who was honored by City Pages as the “2007 Songwriter of the Year” and regarded as "Simon and Gurfunkel with a twist" will perform his literate, languid yet warm songs that inspire wide-eyed clarity and a belief in miracles.


7:00pm to 8:15pm

The former members of Semisonic and Trip Shakespeare have ascended once again with The Twilight Hours, a brand new band that will make its first performance in front of a large crowd. With an album set for release later in the summer and a tour to follow, this show will reintroduce their brilliance to a local audience before it is once again shared with the entire world.


8:30pm to 10:00pm

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Joseph Arthur makes a long-awaited return to the Twin Cities to demonstrate why he is one of “the last true artists in the world” with amazing talents that cross the lines of music, art, film and drama to deliver an unforgettable experience every time he performs.


Together, this lineup of extraordinary musicians will surely entertain the festive FINNEGANS ShamROCK 2009 audience while raising money for an important cause.
