About

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.

  • Cross was OK

    by TylerfanInSyracuse on 5/14/18Turning Stone Resort Casino Showroom - VeronaRating: 2 out of 5

    Seating was in booth, the tables in front of the booth had ticket holders move their chairs to the ends of the table blocking the isle and the view. None of the 4 people in the booth including myself had a view of Mr. Cross. The music had a lot of warm up type instrumental stall tracks while technical difficulties were corrected. The songs were ok but may unheard hits missed the mark. The song Laura played as a "special request" was the best part of the night because Mr. Cross explained the back story to it. My guests were overall disappointed and the Venue had a lot to be desired.

    Very disappointing. His backup vocals did more of the singing than he did, and did a better job. The "money songs" he changed up to "make more relevant" but made them worse. Sax player was stellar. Cross' voice clearly has aged. Not worth the ticket price.

  • Christoper Cross was awesome.

    by RRHOFFAN on 4/20/18The Queen - WilmingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    Great venue and sight lines. Great performance spanning 14 albums and grammy career. still in fine voice, although the background ladies were awesome, as well,

  • Christopher Cross concert at BB Kings NYC 4/6/201

    by 4153 on 4/16/18B.B. King Blues Club & Grill - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    Christopher Cross put on great show at BB Kings in New York City on 4/6/2018. He sang many of his classic 80’s songs - Ride Like the Wind – Sailing - Never Be the Same - All right - Arthur’s Theme. He also sang some his newer songs as well. BB Kings is a fun place to enjoy a concert and eat a meal in a nice setting.

  • Christopher Cross Best Ever!

    by Christedt on 4/15/18Birchmere - AlexandriaRating: 4 out of 5

    Christopher Cross at the Birchmere not only did not disappoint, but exceeded expectations, was the best ever, and I can’t wait to go again! Waitress was superb but would prefer wider menu selection and have enjoyed my entree there quite a bit more in the past.

  • Great Old and New Arrangements Pumped a Bit High

    by Grant88 on 4/15/18Birchmere - AlexandriaRating: 4 out of 5

    We saw Christopher Cross at the Birchmere a few years ago. We were awed then by the tightness of the show as he and his excellent accompanying musicians played songs off of his first album.(Plus, of course, Think of Laura and Arthur's Theme) I recall that he had been performing at a New York hotel for some time - thus, perhaps the intimate feel. This show had many of the same songs -- with great new arrangements. But overly loud drums and bass detracted from what would have made this new show excellent rather than only very good, A drum solo, seriously? A fine show that took great ballads and made them only average.

  • Great Concert!

    by Cathyjak on 4/12/18The Queen - WilmingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    My husband and I truly enjoyed the Christopher Cross concert. He was wonderful and was backed by a band of excellent musicians. This was our first visit to "The Queen" in Wilmington, DE. It is a very interesting venue. The acoustics were fine and the "old theater" look together with non-traditional seating made for a unique experience. I would attend another concert there.

  • Excellent show

    by MikeandLindaG on 4/12/18The Queen - WilmingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    Small but great venue, loved the bar at the back as you could get a drink and not miss any of the show. Band was tight and performance was great. Played all of the old hits and some great new stuff.

  • Christopher Cross at The Queen

    by saxman1210 on 4/12/18The Queen - WilmingtonRating: 4 out of 5

    Great night of music at a really cool venue! Christopher is still sounding really good at 68 years old - sure he's not as strong vocally as he used to be, but still really great! The venue is BEAUTIFUL - but with only one entrance and exit, it did get a little claustrophobic in there. Other than that, it was outstanding! Great sound, beautiful theatre, great band backing up Christopher and all of the hits you'd want to hear! 4 out if 5 stars!

  • Christopher Cross was awesome

    by Hutschy on 4/12/18The Queen - WilmingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    CC put on an amazing show and his band and singers are equally amazing

  • A great performer with a fantastic band

    by EightiesMusic on 4/12/18The Queen - WilmingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    I absolutely loved it! It was great on all counts. Highly recommend

  • “Never Be The Same”

    by JTWinNY on 4/9/18B.B. King Blues Club & Grill - New YorkRating: 4 out of 5

    Great performance by Christopher Cross @ B.B. King Blues Club in NYC. I’ve waited for about 30 years to see this man sing live & he did not disappoint. What made it even better was that it was a relatively small, intimate venue. I was “Swept Away”... I’ll “Never Be The Same!” My only complaint was that it took quite a while before a waiter even came to our table while all the surrounding tables were being serviced. But other than that, fabulous!

  • Great performance....!

    by Robroy0071 on 4/9/18B.B. King Blues Club & Grill - New YorkRating: 4 out of 5

    Christopher Cross gave a great performance. Played all his memorable tunes had the audience enchanted. The only thing that was not great was the seating. Seating was packed tightly placing 6 people in one table. There’s no eblow room if you sit with large individuals. But hey what do you expect for 60 bucks seats, right. If you’re a picky person who wants to enjoy the night with your special guest do not get the general admission ticket. You will be cramped next to other folks who either talk throughout the venue or cough. Other than that the show was great. Thanks B.B. Kings....

  • Christopher Cross was not as good as expected

    by rjcx on 4/9/18F. M. Kirby Center - Wilkes-BarreRating: 4 out of 5

    The music drowned out his voice until he played acoustic. He changed songs. I would not go to see him again.

  • Drum Solo

    by MoinMo on 4/7/18Madrid Theatre - Kansas CityRating: 1 out of 5

    First several song sounded like drum solos. Lady at concert had to tell person doing the mixing to turn up Chris' microphone so we could hear him sing. Best part of the concert was when the drummer was off stage. Theater had NO crowd control. Drunks in back were trying to talk above the DRUMS. They should have be though out and told to go down the street to a bar. DRUMS-DRUNKS- ONE WORD - REFUND

  • Christopher Cross Concert was Flawless!!!

    by ICantDrive55 on 4/7/18F. M. Kirby Center - Wilkes-BarreRating: 5 out of 5

    Had the perfect seat which was front row Center Stage looking right up a Christopher Cross all night. They knocked this show out of the park from the first note delivered by their First Class Saxophone player! He really set the tone from the beginning and with his superior tone and musicianship, I knew that this show was not going to be just average and a replay of his hits. They rolled out some songs from their new CD which was C Cross music on steroids! Had that same feel like his music, but was brought into this decade. Lyrics were nice and deep like you’d expect. When the played their hits that made Christopher Cross the icon that he is, some had a current twist added which made you fall in love with those songs all over again. His voice was strong and in tune. He was still able to hold the high notes long without dropping off real quick and then have the back up singers fill the rest of the note in. The song Laura had Christopher come out really strong with the line Hey Laura. It came out really strong and right in tune. His musicians were all hand selected by Christopher and he does an excellent job in finding the prefect musicians. The Sax player is a keeper and First Class all the way. His improv skills are beautiful with a nice jazz taste. His use of complex scales works for him. It was fun when he played the keyboard at the same time that he played the Alto. He switched hands playing the upper hand of the sax with the opposite hand and then used his left hand in the keyboard on Ride Like the Wind! Christopher played lead guitar for the band as well as rhythm guitar. This is difficult when he is also the lead singer and the MC. His solos were right on. Or overbearing at all, but very tasteful. The back up singers were both very soothing to listen too. They blend in very well with the high range of CCross. The three of them had a nice blend of harmony. They had excellent showmanship with nice movement that was tasteful. Each of the ladies did a duet with Christopher that were captivating. Marcia was mesmerizing when she sang with Christopher and really brought you in. I felt what she felt when she sang. The overall sound from the concert was perfect. Loud enough that you felt the music but not overbearing and hurt the ears. It had a nice blend along with a quality sound, and not just loud. They are a well oiled machine and they all played tight. I would go again to see them play over and over. Everyone left satisfied and soothed!

  • Good but should have been better

    by DocLou55 on 4/7/18F. M. Kirby Center - Wilkes-BarreRating: 3 out of 5

    I go to a lot of events at the Kirby, and I have yet to figure out if sound issues are the fault of the tour or the site because they have happened here before. The best part of this show was the acoustic set simply because you could actually hear & understand Chris. For the majority of the evening, you could enjoy the songs because you knew them, but the lyrics were largely unintelligible & more of a low mumble. The sound quality was sorely lacking, and what should have been a very enjoyable and entertaining show turned out to be simply average.

  • Very enjoyable show!!

    by CHPK on 4/7/18F. M. Kirby Center - Wilkes-BarreRating: 5 out of 5

    Chris was great of course but he has put together a very talented band with great accompanying singers as well. He shared the limelight with the other people in the band. There were some cool videos to go with some songs. I loved Ride Like The Wind and Think Of Laura. Worth going to!

  • Great Show!!

    Usually a little concerned about attending concerts from singer/song writers from a few years back - however - PLEASANTLY SURPRISED!!! SOUNDS JUST LIKE HE DID WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT HIS ALBUM! Love the song Sailing - and it was the first one he sang - made me tear up! Would love to see him again in concert!! The Madrid theater is a fantastic venue! Thanks for a WONDERFUL EVENING!
