Musician A.J. Croce was not yet two years old when his father, songwriter Jim Croce, was killed in a 1973 plane crash. The younger Croce grew up with his father's songs and record collection and eventually began performing some of that classic material in concert. His current tour, Croce Plays Croce, celebrates the music of both A.J. and Jim Croce as well as some of the music they both loved.
