Thursday 7/23 - Scott Keever & Joe Cruz ($15 Cover)
By Aster Cafe
DOORS 7:00pm SHOW 8:00-10:00pm Joe Cruz is a mainstay of the Twin Cities music and theater scene for over four decades, effortlessly transitioning between various musical styles, demonstrating his remarkable versatility. From strumming an acoustic guitar to shredding on an electric guitar, picking bluegrass mandolin, and playing Cuban tres and Puerto Rican cuatro, Joe’s musical prowess is truly exceptional. In addition to performing his original songs and instrumental compositions, he currently performs solo and collaborates with his wife, singer Jennifer Grimm, in their duo “Grimm and Cruz." Joe embraces his Mexican roots with his Santana tribute show, “Sounds of Santana,” and “Cruzando," where he pays homage to the legendary Latin standards. Scott Keever is an award-winning fingerstyle guitarist and performer from Minneapolis, MN who brings a fresh sound to the instrument, combining American roots with styles as far ranging as Celtic, Balkan and jazz. Whether they're performing their own exceptional originals or a wide variety of cover tunes, their performances are always fun and always captivating. Scott brings four different guitars to every show: acoustic, resophonic, classical and jazz – each with its own voice, so every performance is its own unique experience. Scott has also worked in the Minnesota theater scene for years, and has written and performed in productions with Brave New Workshop, Flying Foot Forum, Walking Shadow Theater, O’Shea Irish Dance and Table Salt Productions. Through their work with Balkan ensemble Orkestar Bez Ime (OBI), Scott is a recipient of the McKnight Fellowship Award and the Minnesota Emerging Composers Award. $15 Cover in Advance and Day Of Show
