Doug Collins and the Receptionists

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 Beatles-esque pop and classic country are highlighted in their energetic shows and honest, emotional songs. He has had 3 songs voted as finalists 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 third best American release in Spain in 2018 by Ruta66 Magazine. His new single, "Drinkin’ Again," was released on April 1, 2022, and his new CD, Too Late at Night, will be released on June 24, 2022.
