ShamROCK is Finnegans’ second annual outdoor music event benefitting Heading Home Hennepin. ShamROCK 2008 is an afternoon-to-evening music extravaganza featuring up-and-coming local and national acts and a headline performance by Built to Spill. You’ll find Finnegans beer on tap, street entertainment and contests, food from The Cabooze & Whiskey Junction, and a day of partying for a great cause.Built to Spill will take the outdoor stage at 8:30 p.m.; the rest of the line-up is as follows: Ol’ Yeller, Slim Cessna’s Auto Club, and Minneapolis favorites A Night In The Box and Romantica. For what it’s worth, I really like Built to Spill and Ol’ Yeller… of course before you try to pigeonhole me, I was just listening to Strike Anywhere in the car, but I digress…This year’s Finnegans ShamROCK will benefit   Heading Home Hennepin, a community coalition to end homelessness in Minneapolis and Hennepin County by 2016.  For tickets and more information, visit   www.finnegansshamrock.org.
