Croce is bringing his highly successful \u2018Croce Plays Croce\u2019 tour back for a new slate of Spring 2026 dates. After a triumphant run earlier this year that was jam-packed with standing ovations, the new leg promises more of that soulful, energetic blend that honors both his father\u2019s iconic body of work and A.J.\u2019s own extensive catalog. He is hitting major stops like Birmingham, Memphis, Oklahoma City, and Austin across March and April, with an additional show in Santa Barbara in September.<\/p>\n<p>A.J. Croce purposefully waited three decades to perform his father\u2019s legendary songs, finally introducing the \u2018Croce Plays Croce\u2019 tour only when he felt he could honor the musical legacy with true depth and integrity. The shows are a masterful journey, interweaving Jim Croce classics like \u201cOperator,\u201d \u201cBad Bad Leroy Brown,\u201d and \u201cTime in a Bottle\u201d with A.J.\u2019s acclaimed originals, all held together by stories, humor, and truly remarkable musicianship. Having shared the stage with icons from Ray Charles and B.B. King to Willie Nelson and Rod Stewart, A.J. has forged a deep, diverse musical story entirely on his own terms, with more than twenty songs reaching Billboard\u2019s Top 40 charts. Tickets for this unique experience go on sale this Friday, December 5th, at 10 am local time.<\/p>\n<p>CROCE PLAYS CROCE 2026 TOUR DATES<\/p>\n<p>Mar 10 \u2013 Birmingham, AL \u2013 Lyric Theatre<\/p>\n<p>Mar 11 \u2013 Huntsville, AL \u2013 VBC Mars Music Hall<\/p>\n<p>Mar 13 \u2013 Memphis, TN \u2013 Graceland Soundstage<\/p>\n<p>Mar 14 \u2013 Knoxville, TN \u2013 Tennessee Theatre<\/p>\n<p>Mar 15 \u2013 Nashville, IN \u2013 Brown County Music Center<\/p>\n<p>Mar 17 \u2013 Oklahoma City, OK \u2013 Criterion<\/p>\n<p>Mar 18 \u2013 San Antonio, TX \u2013 Tobin Center for the Performing Arts<\/p>\n<p>Mar 20 \u2013 Arlington, TX \u2013 Arlington Music Hall<\/p>\n<p>Mar 21 \u2013 Austin, TX \u2013 Paramount Theatre \u2013 Austin<\/p>\n<p>Mar 22 \u2013 Houston, TX \u2013 Bayou Music Center<\/p>\n<p>Apr 9 \u2013 Saratoga Springs, NY \u2013 Universal Preservation Hall<\/p>\n<p>Apr 10 \u2013 Tarrytown, NY \u2013 Tarrytown Music Hall<\/p>\n<p>Apr 11 \u2013 Mashantucket, CT \u2013 Foxwoods Resort Casino<\/p>\n<p>Apr 12 \u2013 Derry, NH \u2013 Tupelo Music Hall<\/p>\n<p>Sep 23 \u2013 Santa Barbara, CA \u2013 Lobero Theatre<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This is the kind of tour announcement that stops you in your tracks: the phenomenally talented singer-songwriter and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":73009,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[36462,36463,36464,132,134,133,36465,36466,36467,36468,36469,36470,36471,36472,36473,3903,12613,32424,36474,27000,36475,36476,36477,36478,36479,36480,24588],"class_list":["post-73008","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-austin","tag-a-j-croce","tag-arlington-music-hall","tag-ashley-natareno","tag-austin","tag-austin-headlines","tag-austin-news","tag-b-b-king","tag-bayou-music-center","tag-brown-county-music-center","tag-criterion","tag-doug-hall","tag-foxwoods-resort-casino","tag-graceland-soundstage","tag-james-brown","tag-jim-croce","tag-lyle-lovett","tag-lyric-theatre","tag-paramount-theatre-austin","tag-ray-charles","tag-rod-stewart","tag-tarrytown-music-hall","tag-tennessee-theatre","tag-tobin-center-for-the-performing-arts","tag-tupelo-music-hall","tag-universal-preservation-hall","tag-vbc-mars-music-hall","tag-willie-nelson"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73008","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73008"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73008\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/73009"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73008"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73008"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73008"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
