WELCOME TO THE CENTER! A new year is here, and with it begins the second half of the 2023-2024 Center Presents Season, presented in partnership with Allied Solutions.

We’ve added several performances since the season was first announced last spring, including upcoming visits by Big Head Todd & the Monsters, Puddles Pity Party, Richard Marx and Rickie Lee Jones.

Returning to the Center after two sold-out shows last season is multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter A.J. Croce with his Croce Plays Croce tribute to the music of his late father, Jim. The younger Croce discusses his evolving relationship with his dad’s music in the cover story, which begins on Page 6.

As usual, there’s something for everyone coming up at the Center: jazz with Branford Marsalis on his first appearance at the Palladium; a can’t-miss cabaret evening with Alan Cumming and NPR’s Ari Shapiro; traditional sounds from Mariachi Herencia de México; an all-Beethoven program from Bulgaria’s Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra; a salute to the late soul queen Aretha Franklin; a St. Patrick’s Day preview by the Irish Tenors; the return of Bruce Hornsby with the innovative quartet yMusic; acclaimed Indiana-based singer-songwriter Carrie Newcomer, backed by piano and string quartet; and a family-friendly Sunday doubleheader with TV’s Imagination Movers.

And remember: During these chilly winter months, there’s always something cooking at the Center, including educational and experiential opportunities for all ages. New programs include a songwriting class and an advanced stand-up comedy course for graduates of our popular intro class. More information is available in the pages that follow and on our website, TheCenterPresents.org.

As always, we offer our deepest thanks to the volunteers, donors and community partners who make our work possible, and to patrons like you who make it all worthwhile.

HE’S GOT A NAME HOW A. J. CROCE CAME TO EMBRACE HIS FATHER’S LEGACY

BY SCOTT HALL

6

In the annals of pop music glory and tragedy, Jim Croce’s story is as dramatic as any.

After working in relative obscurity for several years as a folk singer-songwriter, Croce hit it big in the early 1970s, releasing three albums in 18 months that launched a barrage of hit singles: “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown,” “You Don't Mess Around With Jim,” “Operator,” “I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song,” “Time in a Bottle” and “I’ve Got a Name,” to name a few.

The promise ended Sept. 20, 1973, when the 30-year-old rising star and several associates died in the crash of a small charter plane. Left behind were Croce’s wife, Ingrid, and their son, not quite 2 years old, Adrian James.

Although A.J. Croce had little chance to know his father, he has spent much of his life coming to terms with Jim Croce’s legacy and how it relates to his own successful but less meteoric career as a musician and songwriter.

For many years, he declined to perform or associate himself with his father’s songs, other than running the publishing company that licenses their work for TV, movies and other uses. In recent years, for example, Jim Croce’s tunes have been heard on TV’s Stranger Things and in the X-Men and Fast and Furious film franchises.

By phone recently from a tour stop in Florida, A.J. Croce explained why he, as a performer, shied away from those songs for so long.

“I’ve been working with my father's music catalog for almost 30 years now, and I thought that was the best way that I could help celebrate his musical legacy – behind the scenes,” he said. “Obviously, from a very young age, I was asked to perform his music and record it and so forth, and it didn't feel right. I didn't feel like there was integrity in me performing it or using his name to gain recognition.”

A.J. relaxed that rule over the years, but not until 2019 did he undertake a “Croce Plays Croce” tour, interpreting his father’s hits alongside his own tunes as well as obscurities of American roots music that both men loved, which is a crucial part of the concept. The combination has connected with audiences, selling out two shows last March in the Center’s Tarkington theater with a set list focusing on the elder Croce’s 1972 breakthrough album, You Don’t Mess Around with Jim. 7

The current edition of the tour, booked this time at the larger Palladium on March 30, will mark the 50th anniversary of Jim’s passing and the release of his final, chart-topping studio albums, Life and Times and I Got a Name.

The production features a new multimedia presentation with vintage film clips.

The band, expanded from four to six members, includes drummer Gary Mallaber (Van Morrison, Steve Miller Band), bassist/singer David Barard (Dr. John), guitarist/violinist James Pennebaker (Delbert McClinton), and backing singers Jackie Wilson and Katrice Donaldson.

“It’s a much bigger production and an expanded experience,” said A.J., now 52. “Every night it changes, not just because I open the request lines and ask people to request a song they want to hear – and completely deviate from the set every evening to do that – but also because I'm throwing in different songs of mine, and I replace them regularly, and the songs by other artists are changed all the time, so it stays really fresh. The band is always on their toes, and we're always practicing the deeper cuts, because we never know when someone's going to ask for one of the songs that may be popular among fans but may not have been in the Top 10.”

So why the change of heart?

“A number of events took place in a really natural way that encouraged me to do this, to actually perform his music, and in a kind of unique way,” he said.

To understand the evolution, some history is helpful.

After his father’s death, A.J. lost his vision at age 4 as a result of physical abuse by a family acquaintance. He began regaining sight in one eye at age 10, but it was during those six intervening years that he fell in love with music and began playing the piano. He was encouraged by his late father’s friends and by his mother, a musician and entrepreneur who came to own a popular restaurant and music club in San Diego. And there was no shortage of inspiration in his father’s record collection, most notably the work of Ray Charles, whom A.J. considers “my gateway drug.”

He went on to discover early jazz and blues artists like Fats Waller and Bessie Smith; the great bandleaders Duke Ellington and Count Basie; the jump blues of Louis Jordan; pioneering rock ‘n’ roll pianists such as Little Richard and Fats Domino; and especially important, New Orleans R&B traditions represented by artists like Allen Toussaint.

CROCE PLAYS CROCE Saturday, March 30 at 8pm | The Palladium

A.J. Croce proved to be a prodigy on the piano. By age 15, he was gigging several nights a week, and he soon began touring Southern California. At 17, he was called to Nashville for his first recording session, backing “Cowboy” Jack Clements with members of Elvis Presley’s band. At 18, just as he entered college, B.B. King heard him play and hired him for a tour. Before long, he’d be on the road with his idol, Ray Charles.

Since 1993, A.J. has released 10 studio albums as a bandleader, incorporating his love of jazz, blues and roots music as well as rock and soul. He has performed with such artists as Willie Nelson and the Neville Brothers.

He has co-written with Leon Russell, Dan Penn and other esteemed songsmiths.

Meanwhile, over the years, he has been archiving his father’s recordings, including hundreds of homemade tapes that document songs under development, casual jams with friends, and preparations for performances.

At one point, he found a tape of Jim playing a series of little-known songs by early 20th century artists that A.J. himself had discovered and played, independently of his father’s record collection and public repertoire.

“It was really eerie,” recalled A.J., who was in his 30s at the time. “These were songs that I had performed since I was 13, 14, 15 years old, old blues songs that were really obscure, jazz, blues, old rock ’n’ roll, old country. Stuff like ‘You're Not the Only Oyster in the Stew’ by Fats Waller. It wasn't just the same 9

artists – it was the same, exact songs. So I was really blown away by this connection. … That is part of this musical legacy of my family, this love of music. It's not just about us. It's about sharing a tradition of great music, and that was when (Croce Plays Croce) all started to make sense.”

Coinciding with the current tour – and with what would have been Jim’s 80th birthday – BMG has released The Definitive Croce, a three-disc CD or LP box set of Jim’s three best-selling albums. Each is also available individually in vinyl, CD and Dolby Atmos format.

For A.J., the new releases are a long-awaited corrective after 50 years of Jim Croce compilation albums – more than 380 in the U.S. alone – put out by various labels that licensed and repackaged the same songs in countless different forms without the family’s involvement.

“This is just a wonderful collection of the three albums, and the vinyl sounds so good,” he said. “I listened to it along the way with the acetates, making sure that everything really sounded right, and they did a wonderful job with it.”

BIG HEAD TODD & THE MONSTERS

Thursday, January 18, at 7:30pm | The Palladium

Big Head Todd and The Monsters have become an American institution after more than three decades of writing, recording and touring, delivering over 3,500 performances. Their 1993 breakout album Sister Sweetly went platinum on the strength of the enduring radio staples “Broken Hearted Savior,” “It’s Alright” and “Bittersweet.” The Colorado quartet consists of guitarist-vocalist Todd Park Mohr (also on keys, sax, harmonica), Brian Nevin (drums, percussion), Rob Squires (bass, vocals) and Jeremy Lawton (guitar, keys, vocals, steel guitar).

“Mohr, who has a voice like smoke, writes great songs that incorporate blues, folk, rock and country, which sounds sort of like, well, Big Head Todd and the Monsters.”

ABOUT THE CENTER The mission of the Center for the Performing Arts is to engage and inspire the Indiana community through enriching arts experiences.

The Center is a nonprofit arts and education organization responsible for the operation and programming of a three-venue campus at Carmel’s City Center. Together, the Palladium, the Tarkington and the Studio Theater create a welcoming place for the community to engage with all forms of the performing arts. The campus also provides a home for the affiliated Great American Songbook Foundation and hosts six Resident Companies, along with other organizations that utilize the facilities for their events. Since opening in 2011, the Center’s venues have hosted over 3,100 performances and more than 1.3 million patrons representing all 92 counties in Indiana, all 50 states and 30-plus nations. The campus also draws hundreds of thousands of visitors each year for other public events.

Each year the Center provides access to the arts for thousands of people of all ages – building community, enriching lives and inspiring minds young and old. Education and outreach initiatives include performing arts classes for children and adults and special programs for upcoming generations, such as the interactive Peanut Butter & Jam concert series for preschoolers, the Palladium PALS reading club, educational videoconferences for students around the state, and the Student Discount Ticket program, through which students can attend select performances for just $15.

INNOVATION We are creative, open to change and willing to take risks as an entrepreneurial leader in the performing arts field.

We are committed to presenting novel and innovative programming.

COLLABORATION We work together in a mission-driven spirit of teamwork, mutual support and the sharing of ideas and responsibilities.

We proactively pursue opportunities to collaborate with artists and community partners.

INTEGRITY We demonstrate honesty, fairness and transparency, with a focus on the Center’s long-term success. We live up to our responsibilities and hold others accountable to do the same.

INCLUSION, DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND ACCESSIBILITY The arts are for everyone.

The Center for the Performing Arts and the Great American Songbook Foundation strive to be models and leaders in the community by creating a welcoming, affirming environment that is anti-racist and dedicated to advancing social justice and human rights, in which all employees, patrons and other visitors feel safe, supported, respected and valued.

We treasure the arts for their unique ability to express the individual spirit while celebrating our common humanity. Our mission to engage, inspire and educate encompasses the entire Indiana community and leaves no room for exclusion or discrimination of any kind, whether based on race, color, age, sex, religion, ethnicity, national origin, disability, socioeconomic status, veteran status, sexual orientation, or gender identity and expression.

Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility are essential principles that guide our decisions as an employer and as a presenter of public events.

ABOUT THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK FOUNDATION The mission of the Great American Songbook Foundation is to inspire and educate by celebrating the Great American Songbook.

America has a rich tradition of creating music—classical, folk, pop, jazz, rock. The Great American Songbook consists of enduring standards, the songs that are played and sung over and over by multiple generations.

These songs have a timeless meaning and resonance, whether they are days or decades old.

Based at the Palladium, the Great American Songbook Foundation is affiliated with the Center for the Performing Arts and is one of a handful of worldwide Cultural Affiliates of the Los Angeles-based GRAMMY Museum®. The Foundation carries out its unique mission to inspire and educate by celebrating the Great American Songbook in numerous ways: • The Songbook Library & Archives houses documents, images and historic artifacts of songwriters Meredith Willson ( The Music Man) and Harold Arlen ( The Wizard of Oz) and artists like Natalie Cole, Andy Williams, and Sammy Davis, Jr. • The Songbook Exhibit Gallery – free and open to the public – is a multimedia educational center with rotating exhibits exploring history and popular culture through the lens of music.

• The Songbook Academy® is a national summer music intensive that provides pre-professional training, world class mentorship and performance experience for aspiring high school singers.

• Perfect Harmony is a music resource that provides care partners with generational music and activities to engage older adults through a shared music experience.

• The Songbook Hall of Fame recognizes singers, songwriters and other artists who have made significant contributions to the Great American Songbook, with a new class inducted each year.

EXHIBIT GALLERY HOURS: Monday-Friday, 10am-4pm

The Gallery is also open one hour prior to select Center Presents performances at the Palladium.
