While it seems our blog has highlighted a lot of events lately, there is yet another one we just can't help but tell you about. Finnegans, local brewer of the great Irish Amber, and the only beer we know of donating 100% of their profits to charity, has put together a benefit concert dubbed "Finnegans Summerfest" featuring what author and Twin Cities music aficionado Martin Keller is calling "one of the best line-ups of local music that (he's) ever seen." Its an all day affair, going down Saturday June 9th from 1 pm to 2 am at and around the Cabooze in Minneapolis.

In all, 21 bands will be playing on 3 stages for 12 hours, with all proceeds from the event going to support Heading Home Hennepin, the 10 year plan to end homelessness in Minneapolis and Hennepin County spearheaded by Solutions Volume 1 presenter Cathy ten Broeke. Set aside June 9th and head down to the Cabooze for a great time; help end homelessness, support local music, and enjoy the most socially conscious beer around (it's pretty tasty!).
