1/22/23 A.J. Croce Returns to Thrasher Opera House
22 January 2023 News
Green Lake, Wis. – Singer/Songwriter A.J. Croce will perform at Thrasher Opera House in Green Lake, Wisconsin, on Saturday, February 4, at 7:30 p.m. Over the past three decades, A.J. Croce has established his reputation as a piano player and serious vocal stylist who pulls from various musical traditions and anti-heroes — part New Orleans, part juke joint, part soul.
Over his ten studio albums, it’s clear that A.J. Croce holds an abiding love for all types of musical genres: Blues, Soul, Pop, Jazz, and Rock n’ Roll. A virtuosic piano player, Croce toured with B.B. King and Ray Charles before age 21. Over his career, he has performed with many musicians, from Willie Nelson to the Neville Brothers, Béla Fleck to Ry Cooder. A.J. has also co-written songs with such formidable tunesmiths as Leon Russell, Dan Penn, Robert Earl Keen, and multi-Grammy winner Gary Nicholson. His albums have all charted and done so on an impressive array of charts: Top 40, Blues, Americana, Jazz, College, and Radio 1. The Nashville-based singer/songwriter has also landed 20 singles on various Top 20 charts. While it’s clear A.J.’s recordings and shows span many genres, his tastes and extended influences reach even further to classical styles and world music styles, from Latin Jazz to music from Africa, Eastern Europe, and India. A.J.’s deep love for music is understandable, considering that his mother, Ingrid, was a singer/songwriter, as was his father, the late Jim Croce.
Croce’s performance is sponsored by Mike & Jeanne Shohoney (Sha-Hone-E) and Adam’s Rib. This event is supported in part by a grant from the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation and the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Tickets for A.J. Croce’s performance on February 04 at 7:30 p.m. are $37 and available at www.thrasheroperahouse.com or by calling 920.294.4279
