THE STARKEY HEARING FOUNDATION
at Rivercentre
Sunday, 07/17/16, 3pm ($$)
rivercentre.org
So The World May Hear—
Saint Paul’s Rivercentre rolls out the red carpet this coming Sunday for one of the most anticipated events of the year, The Starkey Hearing Foundation 16th Annual Awards Gala.
This year’s Award honorees include Jennifer Garner (Alias, Elektra), award-winning actress and advocate for early childhood education. As trustee for Save the Children, Garner has traveled the country to learn firsthand how these programs impact children and families in need and has advocated to officials at every level.
Local humanitarian, Paula F. Goldberg, executive director and co-founder of PACER, will also be celebrated for making PACER a lifeline for parents of children and young adults with all disabilities.
Music and entertainment is always a key feature of the event, bringing the world’s best entertainers to the Starkey stage and this year is no exception- comedian and former Tonight Show host Jay Leno will feature his comedy while Hollywood Vampires (Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp); singer-songwriter John Mellencamp; country duo Maddie & Tae; The Tenors; and American Idol winner Trent Harmon will provide the music.
Due to Vampires’ guitarist Joe Perry’s health scare over the weekend at a show on Coney Island, it’s yet unknown if he can attend, though his speedy recovery has been predicted, and the band is carrying on.
The gala itself is anticipated to generate more than $9 million, which will accelerate the pace and scope of Starkey Hearing Foundation missions and locally, the proceeds support grants for area nonprofits.
Numerous other local and international celebrities are expected to appear, with ticket and participation opportunities available here: starkeyhearingfoundation.org

BASTILLE DAY BLOCK PARTY
at Barbette
Sunday, 07/17/16, 3pm (FREE)
bastilledayblockparty.com
We’ve been covering the annual Bastille Day Block Party for a while now, and this year’s lineup is absolutely unbelievable!
To start, this day party is free and open to the public. Local favorites Babes in Toyland and Bad Bad Hats are both on the bill.
The last time we saw the Babes, it was a rare headlining gig at First Avenue in January 2016. Prior to that, their very first appearance since reunited at Rock the Garden 2015.
Since the event starts at 3pm and has to end before curfew at 10pm, I typically bicycle into the city for a relaxing lazy Sunday bike ride.
Details below (more artists may be announced later):
MC Foxy Tann
Brass Messengers
Infiammati Fire Circus
North Star Rollergirls
Kate Lynch & Her Most Excellent Fellows
Bad Bad Hats
Nadine Dubois & Les Folies Risque
Babes in Toyland

SHEL
at 7th Street Entry
Sunday, 07/17/16, 7pm ($8/$10)
first-avenue.com
We wrote about sister act SHEL in 2014 when we told you that it’s an acronym for their names: Sarah, Hannah, Eva, and Liza.
The sisters will be in town promoting their new Dave Stewart-produced album Just Crazy Enough, released earlier in May 2016, with their motto “four sisters, traveling the world, tellin' tales, and sharing a dream”.
To coincide with their current national tour, the band has also released a video announcing the “Just Crazy Enough Challenge,” which invites fans to consider the ethical implications of their fashion choices while highlighting their favorite ethically-sourced apparel. Lead vocalist Eva Holbrook explains, “The idea is you make a ‘capsule’ wardrobe, using only eight items and ten accessories. But you can only use items that you already own or your purchase from a thrift store or ethically-sourced company.” Watch the video here: youtube.com
Two local guests Dan Rodriguez and Savannah Smith will open the show.
