Joe Cruz: A mainstay of the Twin Cities music and theater scene for over four decades, this musical chameleon effortlessly transitions 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.
