Christopher Cross made history when his debut self-titled album was released in 1980. The album featured the international hit songs Sailing, Run Like the Wind and Never Be The Same. It went on to win five Grammy Awards, including—for the first time ever—the four most prestigious awards: Record of the Year (for the single “Sailing”), Album of the Year, Song of the Year (also for “Sailing”), and Best New Artist. An extraordinary song writer, Cross wrote all these songs and another of the most famous songs of the time - “Arthurs Theme (The best that you can do)” which he co-wrote with Burt Bacharach & Peter Allen and featured in the film Arthur that starred Liza Minelli and Dudley Moore. Arthur’s Theme won the 1981 Academy Award for Best Original Song.
Christopher Cross has also worked with some music greats and shared the stage with some music icons – from Mike McDonald – who sang backing vocals on Ride Like The Wind through to singing backing vocals with Carl Wilson on David Lee Roth’s version of California Girls.
Early in his career Christopher Cross and his band were the opening band for Led Zeppelin and Jethro Tull whilst in 1970 he subbed in for Ritchie Blackmore from Deep Purple for a show in San Antonio.
Thirty years since his stellar debut into the music business, Cross continues recording and touring across the nation, stopping at venues such as the Depot (Salt Lake City). He has released multiple albums and continued to contribute to film and tv soundtracks – including shows such as 30 Rock (he wrote Lemon’s Theme for the soundtrack).
His most recent album, Secret Ladder was released in 2014. The 13 track album, influenced by the likes of Joni Mitchell and Randy Newman, was written mostly with Rob Meurer and again Cross has worked with the finest musicians including bassist Will Lee (of the Fab Faux and Late Night with David Letterman), drummer Keith Carlock (Steely Dan and Toto), guitarist Eric Johnson, saxophonist David Mann, and vocalists Michael McDonald and Jeff Foskett (Brian Wilson’s musical director.
Got to see Christopher cross for the first time in my life at the age of 58, been loving this music since the first time I heard it many years ago. What an amazing show. I literally cried in my seat. Incredible amazing show can’t wait for this year. I will be there for sure, thank you sir
Bought tickets for me and my daughter. They wouldn't let my daughter in the room where the concert was because she wasn't 21. There was nowhere listed you had to be 21 and over. We got there early and sat at the bar before the concert started and that wasn't an issue. But the room they held the concert you had to be 21 absolutely ridiculous. I drove my daughter home 25 mins away came back and saw Christopher sing 3 songs. Will never return to Seminole Casino again.
Christopher Cross has Always been My Number One, since the age of 16. His Music has carried Me through My years every since Elvis passing. He was So Good last year. That I had to come again this year and Will be back Whenever or Wherever He's in Florida. His Shows are a Can't Miss or You Will Regret It. Thanks to Amaturo Theater for having Christopher Cross at Your Beautiful Theater and Making My Night a Nice One.
He is a excellent musician. With great musicians around .
Band was excellent. Chris sounded great vocally. His guitar playing was superb. Played all the hits and lots of others. Hall acoustics were great.
Both me and my husband thoroughly enjoyed the concert…
Christopher still sound great and is an incredible guitar player. The live versions of his music had lots of instrumentals from his very talented band and Chris's guitar solos had me playing air guitar! The crowd and band were really into the show!
Fantastic... I loved the concert. The auditorium at the Seminole Indian Casino was intimate, very nice with great accoustics. I sat in the front row to the left of the stage and it was wonderful. Christoper Cross was able to interact with the audience that would have been more difficult to do in a larger setting. The MVP package was affordable and I can't wait to do it again!
Back up singers were very fun and the band was phenomenal.
We went to see Christopher Cross expecting a good concert but were blown away. His voice was great and he and his band were incredible. He played all hos hits and peppered in some great songs that we heard for the first time. Amazing night of nostalgia and thankfulness to still have singer/songwriters of hos caliber out there. Thanks a million Christopher!
