    Awesome... What talent. Your mother must be so proud... God Bless you for carrying on. Your dad was my favorite singer-songwriter, I was telling my son about him last week. Have fun on the Tour, wish you were coming to Reno.

    Jim Croce was the first musician I found who I felt connected to. When he died I was beyond heartbroken. Such a talent Glad to see his son is carrying on his music and vibe. I will look forward to hearing you soon. You have his energy, AJ. When you sang 'Photographs & Memories' it sounded just like your father! He is with you!!!!

    A.J.'s appearance at the Ark in Ann Arbor, Michigan is still the most memorable concert I've ever attended. Serendipitously, due to the venue's seating on three sides of the stage, I was able to watch every keystroke of the piano from mere feet away. In addition, as if that wasn't fantastic enough in itself, A.J. rewarded the appreciative and enthusiastic crowd with multiple and varied encore songs and stories. A truly special night indeed...

    o Sue. After all these years I remember where I was when I heard the news. I was coming home from my job, graveyard shift. I had to pull over as I teared 😢 up while they played Leroy Brown, Time In A Bottle & I've Got A Name. I lost my best friend in May so it was a especially sad time for me 😭😭

I did a Wikipedia search on Jim, and learned all about his life, your mom and you. Wow what beautiful gift to learn about you and discover your incredible talent! I love your music. 💝

    I attended the Croce Plays Croce show and I had the time of my life. I sang along to 80% of the songs. (I'm proud of myself). I enjoyed the funny stories of your dad and friends, the pics, the singing, the piano playing was insane. You said that during the pandemic you realized you enjoyed your own company and I yelled out YES. Hope you heard me because I felt the same way (a time for great books and music). Then you sang a song that you're happy to have guests over but you're just as happy to see them leave 😂🔥. Billy Preston would be very happy the way you destroyed that piano Nothing From Nothing. I sang so hard💥🔥💯🧯. Your dad would be so proud. I intend to see your show again. Thank you for carrying on your dad's legacy with such grace💕💕💕💕💕
