A.J. Croce

This tour celebrates three classic Jim Croce albums: ‘You Don’t Mess Around with Jim,’ ‘Life And Times,’ and ‘I Got A Name.’ “He’s connecting the dots between father and son, who despite never really knowing one another shared a musical bond” says the Arizona Daily Star Multi-faceted singer/songwriter A.J. Croce is hitting the road again in celebration of two more of his father Jim Croce’s legendary albums. The Croce Plays Croce 50th Anniversary show features a legendary band (including drummer Gary Mallaber, bassist David Barard, guitar/violin James Pennebaker) and a moving multi-media presentation accompanying Jim’s songs “Operator (That’s Not the Way It Feels),” “Time in a Bottle,” and others. It was fan-demand for more, and the camaraderie that A.J. felt with the audience, the players, and the connection to his father’s timeless music that inspired A.J. to embark on the 50th Anniversary tour for 2024. “The audience reaction has been so great,” says A.J. “The shows we did last year were not only met with a huge response, but I learned so much about what works and what resonates, we knew we had to keep going.”
