No Cover — 7:00pm Show

Doug Otto and the Getaways is back at Animales, blending the soul of Robert Johnson and Hank Williams with their own raw, heartfelt sound. A longtime Minneapolis favorite, the band’s tight chemistry and rich storytelling make every set feel both familiar and fresh.

The band has been featured on regional radio shows, including KFAI public radio in Minneapolis. They have played for audiences throughout the Midwest, including 10K Lakes Festival, The Cabooze and The Dakota Jazz Club. Several hometown Minneapolis venues have welcomed The Getaways to please patrons with weekly residencies including the nordeast staples, Nye's Polonaise, Dusty's Bar, Mayslacks Music Lounge, and The Bulldog N.E. restaurant.  In 2009 they released an independent self-titled album. In 2014 they released Nine Trick Pony, also independently produced, capturing a more telecaster-heavy sound. Their latest release is Waltz Of Pain, recorded at The Pearl in Minneapolis with Zach Hollander.
