LEXINGTON, KY (November 12, 2024) –– A.J. Croce is bringing his Heart of The Eternal Tour to Lexington Opera House on Sunday, April 6, 2025. After 50 years and more than 50 million records sold, Jim Croce’s legacy as an iconic singer/songwriter is firmly cemented. A.J. Croce, a Billboard-charting singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and performer, continues to perform Jim’s classic songs while also introducing his own new music along the way.

 

A.J. discovered a fascinating phenomenon on the first Croce Plays Croce Tour. “People often come in thinking the show will be a quiet, nostalgic, precious display of my father’s songs – but it’s not precious at all. We give them a really energetic, live show. The audience expects one thing, but by the time they leave, they realize they got something completely different -- and they leave not only with a new perspective on Jim but as fans of mine as well.”

 

With over 30 years of touring and 10 studio albums, A.J. Croce has crafted a distinctive career that blends blues, soul, jazz, rock, and pop. His music has consistently charted across a wide range of genres, with 22 singles landing on the Top 20 charts in categories like Top 40, Blues, Americana, and Jazz. Based in Nashville, A.J.’s powerful performances honor his father’s legacy while showcasing his own evolving musical style.

 

Tickets will be available for purchase starting at 10 A.M. on Friday, November 15 at ticketmaster.com, lexingtonoperahouse.com, or in person at the Central Bank Center Box Office from 12-4 P.M. on Wednesdays and Fridays.
