Description:
The Floyd Country Store presents the 7th Annual A Tribute to Jim Croce show hosted by the Souvenirs on Saturday, April 9, 2022.

Special guests include Seph Custer, Carrie Hinkley, Jerry Wood and more!

Croce was born in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He attended Villanova University and formed bands and performed at fraternity parties, coffee houses, and universities around Philadelphia, playing “anything that the people wanted to hear: blues, rock, a cappella, railroad music … anything.” Croce’s band was chosen for a foreign exchange tour of Africa, the Middle East, and Yugoslavia.

His first two albums were commercially unsuccessful, failing to chart or produce any hit singles. During this period, Croce took a series of odd jobs to pay bills while he continued to write, record, and perform concerts. Some of the characters from his “day job” ended up in his songs.

After forming a partnership with songwriter and guitarist Maury Muehleisen, his fortunes turned in the early 1970s. His breakthrough came in 1972; his third album "You Don’t Mess Around" with Jim produced three charting singles, including "Time in a Bottle", which reached No. 1 after his death. The follow-up album, Life and Times contained the song “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown”, which was the only No. 1 hit he had during his lifetime.

The day before the lead single to his fifth album, "I Got a Name", was released, Croce, along with five others, were killed in a plane crash, at the height of his popularity. Croce’s music continued to chart throughout the 1970s following his death.

Tickets are $12.00 in advance and $15.00 the day of the show if available.
