No Cover — 3:00pm Show

Doug Collins & the Receptionists bring a punchy blend of pop charm and country warmth to every room they play, and Animales is no exception. Doug’s knack for melody, paired with the band’s tight, joyful energy, turns each set into a run of songs that feel both familiar and brand new. It’s honest, tuneful, and full of heart, the kind of show that wins people over within a few bars.

Called "one of the most brilliant songwriters to emerge from the Twin Cities in nearly two decades" by southernminn.com, Doug Collins and his crack band, the Receptionists' hooky mix of Beatle-esque pop and classic country are highlighted in their energetic shows and honest, emotional songs. He has had 3 songs voted finalist for “Best Song of the Year” by the Minneapolis Star Tribune, along with his 2016 CD Complicated Compliments, which was also voted one of the "Best of the Year". His latest CD Good Sad News has been voted the 3rd best American release in Spain in 2018 by Ruta66 Magazine. Their newest CD, Lonely Memories, was released June 13, 2025.
