EVENT DESCRIPTION
California Cover Cavalcade
with Creedence Clearwater Replayed and The Wandering Suns
“California Cover Cavalcade” is a special event with 2 great local bands – Creedence Clearwater Replayed and The Wandering Suns – paying tribute to some of the classic bands from Golden State. Doug Collins and the Receptionists are once again showing their love for the mighty CCR with their tribute group Creedence Clearwater Replayed. And Brian Just and friends present their new group The Wandering Suns which highlights the greats from California – from The Byrds to Flying Burrito Brothers, and Neil Young to Manassas.
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 (which includes members of the classic Minnesota band Gear Daddies), are highlighted in their energetic shows, soulful singing, and honest, emotional songs. As Creedence Clearwater Replayed they honor one of America’s best bands. Radio DJ and music promoter Jessica Paxton says of Collins, “He really cares about his audiences having a good time, and he’s got a fantastic in-between song stage banter too; he’s a super funny guy and the dapperest of dressers.”
In 2024, friends Brian Just, Clay Williams, and Kent Militzer wanted to revisit the cosmic country and harmony vocals they had enjoyed playing in their former band, The Blackberry Brandy Boys (2011-2015). The band solidified their lineup with the additions of frequent BBB guest Dave Boquist, Clay’s Dieselfitter bandmate Dan Peterson, and drummer John Sandbo, The Wandering Suns was born.
Drawing inspiration from legendary artists The Wandering Suns deliver a unique blend of original compositions and cover songs that pay homage to the rich tapestry of Americana music.
