Craig Finn is back on tour, this time with his new band The Band of Forgiveness. They are going to headline the Fine Line, in Minneapolis, on October 15, 2025… if you haven’t purchased your tickets, it’s probably sold out.

We last saw Finn, in his popular band The Hold Steady, at the MN Yacht Club in July 2024 and wrote, “The Hold Steady started their Yacht show with “Constructive Summer” and a dedication to former Twins star Joe Mauer’s induction to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Finn also changed the original lyrics of “Raise a toast to St. Joe Strummer, I think he might’ve been our only decent teacher” to “Raise a toast to St. Joe Mauer, I think he might’ve been the greatest ever catcher.” What a dedication. Finn also joked about his outfit. He said he bought the suit, thinking he would wear it on fancy occasion, like a real Kentucky gentlemen. Of course, he’s never invited to those social events… so he’s very thankful that the Yacht Club asked the band to play – so he is proudly wearing the yachtiest suit.”

James Felice (one half of The Felice Brothers) to open.
