No Cover — 4:00pm Show

Come close out the year at Animales with Cole Diamond who brings an easy, high-energy country set built around sharp songwriting and a real love for the craft. His shows balance grit and warmth, and he has a way of pulling people in whether he’s solo or with the band.

Cole Diamond is, depending on when you ask, either the stage name for singer/songwriter Ryan Otte or the collective handle for Otte and his group. In the years since “Cole Diamond” was conceived he has released two EPS, a string of singles, received airplay on 89.3 The Current, and opened for national acts such as Jenny Don't & The Spurs, Corb Lund and The Wilder Blue. Drawing on influences that range from Waylon and Willie to Brooks & Dunn, Cole Diamond delivers a modern take on a classic Honky Tonk sound.
