Tim Turner’s Story
Hey there. I hope that his note finds you well! Thanks in advance for your interest in my journey.
I had an ACL repair in April of 2025, and rehab seemed to go well, other than an occasional fall. I chalked up these falls to recovering from knee surgery. After completing Physical Therapy rehab, I resumed normal activities, and I went back to work. Others noticed changes in my walking, and how I looked, but I didn’t see the changes. I thought everything was going along just fine, but I was wrong about that…
December 1st, 2025-I understand that I had 3 falls. The last fall ended with an ambulance ride, and a couple of days in the hospital for scans, and observation. This is where the tumor was discovered. It is a benign, large, slow growing tumor. The tumor prevented the circulation of fluids out of the skull, resulting in increased pressure in the brain which caused, poor balance, memory loss, and hearing loss(left side).
December 8th, 2025- A shunt was placed at the right rear of my skull, to decrease the pressure inside. Thankfully, the shunt helped prevent more falls, and bought some time until surgery could be scheduled for the tumor.
March 9th 2026-Surgery happened early and continued for 16 hours(due to the delicate nerves involved and how the tumor was/is involved in them). The surge
Complications..
Left side facial paralysis, silent aspiration with swallowing, 2 types of pneumonia (which required strong antibiotics, and intubation for 1 week). During this time, I lost over 25 pounds, and I was very weak. I am still receiving tube feedings(which may last a while), but I am able to eat some pureed foods.
Rehab
After the pneumonias were resolved, I got admitted to an Inpatient Rehabilitation, program for 3 weeks, that included Speech Therapy(cognition/swallowing), Occupational Therapy(regaining fine motor movement), and Physical Therapy(balance/walking). I was discharged to home on April 16th. Luckily, my wife Kari is a nurse and has been able to work from home and care for me. I have been going to outpatient PT/OT, and Speech Therapies 2x weekly for each since I’ve been home. I am not able to drive, yet. I have an amazing support network that have been getting me to these appointments.(Thank you!!!).
The future is uncertain, another surgery is possible, radiation to shrink the remainder of the tumor or both. I would love to go back to work, and drive but these may take a while.

The group has been gigging regularly in the Twin Cities for well over a decade. Their evolution is captured across the 2020 LP From Nothing to Nothing, 2023’s Before We Dry Up, and the songs they’re currently debuting live. Between shows, the band is currently in the studio working on the new set of recordings.

Larrikins
“I want to get stuck in their heads”, was what Tom Blackburn (song writer/guitarist) was thinking to himself when he decided to try his hand at songwriting. Blending various pop and rock influences, with an emphasis on catchy/jangly guitars and a strong rhythm section, Larrikins aims to write songs that are as fun to listen to as they are to play. Enlisting long time friends Brian Wahl (vocals/bass) and Kevin Zech (vocals/guitar) and the addition of Ryan Babiracki (drums), transformed the bedroom jingles into hard hitting pop rock bops.

Moneybones
Moneybones is a rock trio from Minneapolis. Tight and heavy, yet groovy and melodic. The rhythm section has played together since childhood and their frontman fits like he was always supposed to be there. Three years in, they sound like a band that’s been doing this much longer. Their one single “False Faces” is out now.

Join us at Day Block Brewing on Thursday, August 20, for an evening of original Twin Cities rock featuring Second Hand Dan, Larrikins, and Moneybones.
Headlining the night is Second Hand Dan, a dual-vocalist indie rock band that has been a fixture of the Minnesota music scene for well over a decade. Featuring Collyn Camara (lead guitar), Graden Hill (vocals/guitar), George Knier (keys), Ben Schwartz (drums), and Rachel Scott (vocals/bass), the group blends thoughtful songwriting, rich arrangements, and seasoned musicianship. Their musical evolution is documented across the acclaimed LPs From Nothing to Nothing (2020) and Before We Dry Up (2023), while new material currently being debuted live offers a glimpse into the band’s next chapter as they continue recording in the studio.
Rounding out the bill, Larrikins deliver infectious pop-rock driven by jangly guitars, memorable hooks, and an energetic rhythm section. Founded by songwriter and guitarist Tom Blackburn with the goal of crafting songs that linger long after the music stops, the band features longtime friends Brian Wahl (vocals/bass), Kevin Zech (vocals/guitar), and Ryan Babiracki (drums). Their high-energy performances transform catchy bedroom demos into hard-hitting rock anthems built for live audiences.
Opening the night, is Minneapolis rock trio Moneybones. Combining heavy riffs, tight grooves, and melodic songwriting, the band has quickly earned a reputation for sounding far beyond their years. Anchored by a rhythm section that has played together since childhood and fronted by a vocalist who feels like the missing piece they always needed, Moneybones bring a powerful and dynamic presence to the stage. Their debut single, “False Faces,” is available now.
Don’t miss this showcase of local talent at Day Block Brewing—three bands, one stage, and a night packed with memorable songs, powerful performances, and Minnesota rock at its finest.

We’ve been actively performing across Minnesota since last August & can’t wait to see you at the show!
Lazy River Road
Lazy River Road is a Grateful Dead tribute band from Mankato that includes one of our members, Austin Sadler. Both bands will play together during our encore for a few songs. We ran this same setup at Amsterdam in February, and it was a great turnout! Everyone’s stoked to bring it back to Day Block.
Get ready for a night of soaring jams, psychedelic grooves, and unforgettable live music at Day Block Brewing on Saturday, August 22, featuring Fortunate Suns and special guests Lazy River Road.
Fortunate Suns have quickly established themselves as one of Minnesota’s most exciting live acts, blending psychedelic improvisation, Southern-inspired country rock, and heavy, riff-driven energy into a sound all their own. Known for high-energy performances and spontaneous musical exploration, the band approaches every show as a unique experience—no two sets are ever the same. Their dynamic live presence has earned them a growing following across the state since they began performing regularly in 2024.
The band released their debut EP, Last Train Out, in 2025, showcasing their signature mix of expansive jams, melodic songwriting, and powerful rock instrumentation.

The connection between the two bands runs even deeper, as Fortunate Suns member Austin Sadler also performs with Lazy River Road.
The evening will culminate in a special collaborative encore featuring members of both bands sharing the stage for a selection of Grateful Dead favorites and jam-friendly surprises. The combination proved to be a crowd favorite during a packed performance at Amsterdam Bar & Hall earlier this year, and everyone involved is excited to bring the experience to Day Block Brewing.
