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

I was very lucky to see my boyhood idols (The Ventures) play. They are getting up there in years and they played great.Written on Jan 29 2010

This show was superb! They sounded amazing. I was lucky enough to be seated in the first row by the stage and it was so worth the waiting in outside line! At the end of the show, Leon Taylor gave me a drumstick he used for the show. This was definitely one of the best shows I have ever been to. The music makes you want to live forever!Written on Feb 24 2011

Description
The Ventures are the biggest selling instrumental rock group of all time: they created albums rather than just collections of songs and were able to adapt their "surf guitar" sound to a wide range of styles. The solid body Fender guitar sound of the Ventures' Bob Bogle and Don Wilson worked with surf, country, spy, and psychedelic music.
In 1960 they recorded the instrumental classic "Walk, Don't Run", which hit #2 on the Billboard Singles Chart. More than 45 years later record sales are approaching 100 million. With 14 singles chart songs and a solid lineup, the Ventures' sound is more pure and powerful than ever.
