DURBAN DUO CONNECTING STARS SMASH INTO BILLBOARD CHARTS IN TIME FOR THEIR U.S. TOUR.
Durban-based country pop duo Connecting Stars has
taken the American country world by storm after smashing into the Billboard
Adult Contemporary charts at number 30 with their single Stuck, just days
before they set off to play several dates across America. At the same time, the music video is being
released with an exclusive premiere on Tasteofcountry.com – one of the biggest
country music website in the States.
The single, taken from their debut self-titled album Connecting
Stars, to
be released on August 26th, is the group’s first
attempt at capturing the American market and it’s been a
massive success for this home-grown talented act.
Having just signed a record deal with American label
Morada Music, the duo is amazed to have been received with such
gusto by the American market. Marshall
Blonstein, music industry veteran and president of Morada Music is quoted as
having stated, “We are very
selective in the artists we take on but Connecting Stars is very special. The music speaks for itself.”
Martin and Cheryl Engel, who collectively make up the
duo Connecting Stars, have had extensive careers in the music industry as
producers, songwriters and performers.
No stranger to the American music climate, Martin cut his teeth on
touring in the States as the bassist for 90’s supergroup
Tree63, whilst producing several other acts through his own studio.
Connecting Stars’ debut album
was produced
by Brent Quinton and long time musical peer and friend of the band, John
Ellis - also from Tree63 fame. Quinton
and Ellis also played a variety of the instruments on the record
and helped them create the country-tinged pop masterpiece that has been likened
to acts such as Lady Antebellum.

Music Hall –

19th August – showcase in Nashville

Connecting Stars is set to be one of the countries
