Joe Cruz is regarded as one of the most versatile and energetic multi-stringed instrumentalists on the Twin Cities music scene today. Throughout his 30-year career, this passionate musician has been involved with numerous groups and recording projects, developing a vast array of styles. On any given night he can be found playing anything from solo acoustic guitar to screaming electric, swinging with a jazz combo, picking mandolin in a bluegrass band or exploring Latin music on Cuban trés and Puerto Rican cuatro. Also a composer, Joe has an extensive repertoire of original song and instrumental compositions.

‘Jennifer Grimm Sings Judy Garland’ is an energetic and exciting concert celebrating the music and showmanship of Judy Garland. Join Jennifer and her 11-piece band including 7 horns as she sweetly sails through Judy Garland classics such as ‘You Made Me Love You,’ ‘Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart,’ and of course ‘Over the Rainbow.’

Both Grimm and Garland were born in Minnesota to vaudeville families, bringing command and charisma to the stage as only lifelong entertainers can. Although they were born over a half-a-century apart, the sentimental sounds of the Judy Garland era seem to be a perfect fit for Grimm’s well-known versatility and ability to bring powerful vocals to the showstopping numbers as well as an intimate tenderness to Garland’s ballads that will leave a lump in your throat.

Come Hear the Music, Feel the Joy, and Experience ‘Jennifer Grimm Sings Judy Garland.’

“This is way beyond the rainbow with a stellar cast of area musicians. If all you know about Judy is the Wizard of Oz, you need to see this show.” – Andrea Canter
