'Northside' benefit concert set for June 12
North Minneapolis residents rocked by Sunday's tornado will soon get help from what promises to be a rocking benefit concert.

Some of the Twin Cities most prominent musicians, including Sounds of Blackness, Soul Asylum and Robert Robertson, are lining up to perform at "Northside: A Twin Cities Community Benefit," on June 12 at the State Theatre. Robertson and members of Sounds are some of the many participating performers who have called north Minneapolis home, along with Tonia Hughes, Sara Renner and Triad 4 Christ. Invitations have also gone out to a few members of musical "royalty" with North Side roots (If you have to ask, think about a glyph).

Other confirmed participants include Brian "G.B." Leighton, Billy McLaughlin, Billy and Paul Peterson, and the event's chief organizer, folk activist Larry Long.

Ticket information has not yet been finalized. Details will be posted at http://www.HennepinTheaterTrust.org.

Proceeds will go to the Minneapolis Foundation's North Minneapolis Fund, which has committed to matching funds raised by the concert.

I believe 2006, around the time the Silver Lining came out.

I was asked by tour manager Kim King if I could post the following:



To all Northside Benefit performers,

On behalf of the organizers, I want to thank you for generously donating your time and talents to Northside: A Twin Cities Community Benefit.

We've set up a page with all of the promotional files you can use for the concert, including flyers and logos. If you need another format or have any other requests, please don't hesitate to email design@northsidebenefit.org (I'm more than happy to help). The page:
