A piano virtuoso who started playing as a small child and toured with B.B. King at just 18-years-old, Nashville-based singer/songwriter has since collaborated and performed with legends and luminaries across a wide expanse of genres (Willie Nelson, Ray Charles, Leon Russell, Allen Toussaint, The Neville Brothers, Béla Fleck & Ry Cooder, to name a few) all while building up an acclaimed catalog that blurs the boundaries between blues, soul, rock & roll, Americana, and much more. 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. From childhood, piano became something of a lifeline for Croce, who suffered a total loss of eyesight from ages 4 to 10 and turned to blind pianists like Ray Charles & Stevie Wonder for much-needed comfort and inspiration. Over the course of an extraordinary career that’s found him working with some of the most esteemed producers in music history - including Jack Clement (Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley), Tony Berg (Fiona Apple, Bob Dylan), and Greg Cohen (Tom Waits, John Zorn) -A.J.’s 10 albums have all charted on Top 40, blues, Americana, jazz, college and Radio 1, & has landed 22 singles on a variety of Top 20 charts. His style has evolved from jazz & blues on his debut and sophomore albums to the roots-rock of more recent collaborative recordings like “Cantos” with Ben Harper, “Twelve Tales” with Allen Toussaint and “Just Like Medicine” with Vince Gill.
