Still Collins USA

The Phil Collins & Genesis Tribute Show

March 30, 2024 @ 7:00pm

SCF Neel Performing Arts Center, Bldg. 11 East


Still Collins USA is an Orlando-based rock band featuring the music of Phil Collins and Genesis. As a tribute band, they replicate all aspects of the sights and sounds one may have experienced when Phil Collins and Genesis were in their primes. Though most of the band is from Florida, some come from as far west as Las Vegas and as far north as Chicago.

Still Collins USA was “reverse engineered” with the end production “User Experience” in mind from it’s inception. The “Go Big or Go Home” attitude of it’s founder, Scott Gibbons (lead singer/drummer), resulted in a Vegas-style performance that features world class guitar leads, awe-inspiring keyboards and pianists, a powerful rhythm section, compelling lead vocals with tight harmonies and a world-class live brass section.
