Meet ‘Connell Cruise’ From South Africa #MixUnplugged [VIDEOS]

We are excited to welcome Island Records recording artist 'Connell Cruise' to central Minnesota this Wednesday night (8/19) at Brothers Bar & Grill in downtown St. Cloud for #MixUnplugged. Connell will be joining a lineup that includes soul crooner Paul Loren and multi-platinum recording artist Kevin Rudolf.

Connell Cruise may not be a household name yet here in the U.S., but that's about to change with the release of his new single 'Into The Wild' earlier this summer. The 27-year-old South African singer-songwriter hit #1 on the South African iTunes chart with a beautiful cover of Avicii's hit 'Wake Me Up.' He's currently working on his major label debut album with producers like John Ryan (One Direction) and members of American Authors (Best Day Of My Life).

Here's more music from Connell's E.P. 'Into The Wild' available on iTunes.

Here's the Avicii cover from last year.
