LIVE ON STAGE

Tampa Theatre, Ruth Eckerd Hall, and AEG Presents welcome A.J. Croce to the Tampa Theatre’s historic stage on Monday, Nov. 30, 2026.

An acclaimed singer songwriter, piano virtuoso and multi-instrumentalist, Croce is once again taking his celebrated Croce Plays Croce Tour across the country, bringing audiences an unforgettable evening of music that bridges generations and celebrates the enduring power of song.

From his earliest performances as a teenager to his critically acclaimed albums and world tours, A.J. Croce has forged a remarkable career entirely on his own terms. Over the course of three and a half decades and eleven studio albums, he has become known as an electrifying performer, with more than twenty songs reaching Billboard’s Top 40 charts across multiple genres. Celebrated for his ability to span styles and eras with effortless grace, Croce moves fluidly through American roots, rock ’n’ roll, blues, jazz, soul, and world music, creating a sound that is as distinctive as it is timeless.

Throughout his remarkable career, A.J. has shared the stage with an extraordinary list of musical icons including Ray Charles, B.B. King, James Brown, Willie Nelson, Lyle Lovett, and Rod Stewart; each collaboration adding another layer to his deep and diverse musical story.

Son of legendary singer songwriter Jim Croce, A.J purposefully waited 30 years to perform his father’s music, only introducing his acclaimed Croce Plays Croce Tour when he felt there was a meaningful way to honor his musical legacy with depth, intention, and musical integrity. The show features a moving and energetic blend of Jim Croce’s legendary songs such as “Operator”, “You Don’t Mess Around with Jim”, “Bad Bad Leroy Brown” and “Time in a Bottle,” alongside AJ’s own acclaimed originals. Through stories, humor, and remarkable musicianship, A.J. connects audiences to both his father’s iconic body of work and his own evolution as one of today’s most respected artists.
