Croce Plays Croce
Join A.J. Croce and his band for Croce Plays Croce — a special performance celebrating the timeless songs of his father, Jim Croce, alongside favorites from A.J.’s own acclaimed catalog.
A.J. Croce spent thirty years deliberately avoiding his father’s catalog before he felt ready to honor it right, and that patience shows. On Thursday, October 22, 2026 at 7:30 p.m., he brings Croce Plays Croce to Mayo Performing Arts Center, weaving Jim Croce classics (“Operator,” “Time in a Bottle,” “Bad Bad Leroy Brown”) together with A.J.’s own originals across an evening built on stories, humor, and serious musicianship. Tickets run $45 to $101, with VIP packages starting at an additional $75 if you want a pre-show moment and an autographed photo to make your Jim Croce-loving parent unbearably jealous.
