Early in his life, A.J. Croce lost his vision as the result of a brain tumor, but between the ages of four and ten partial sight gradually returned to his left eye. During this time period he began to play piano, inspired by the music of blind artists Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder. He started playing professionally at the age of 12 and by age 16 he was a regular at several San Diego nightclubs. He toured with B.B. King at age 18 and released his first solo album the following year. A.J. now has seven albums to his name and has toured with artists as legendary as his father including Carlos Santana, Rod Stewart, Aretha Franklin, Willie Nelson, James Brown and Ray Charles. A great talent in his own right, the younger Croce carries on his father's legacy while paving new musical roads of his own. Learn More

Ms. Willie
She was fabulous. A great performer. The audience sang along with her and there were several standing ovations. She even had a fan club from her subway singing days. Everyone, including me, was blown away by her performance.Written on Sep 06 2011
