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.

    Great show and beautiful setting. A perfect night.

  • by PinoyJazz on 8/21/11Montalvo - SaratogaRating: 5 out of 5

    Awesome show! Lovely venue! Enjoyed listening to his old, yet timeless hits and the songs from his new album!

  • by BobbieB5 on 8/21/11Montalvo - SaratogaRating: 4 out of 5

    Liked the starting act real potential. Cross had a good mix of old and new. Lengthy break between warm up act and performance incongruence and annoying. Poorly managed. Should start the sales pitch in the beginning telling why we are here with very brief and I mean brief reminder when introducing Cross.

  • Christopher Cross was excellent.

    by KCConor on 8/21/11Montalvo - SaratogaRating: 5 out of 5

    His new songs are as good as his old standbys. He has so many classic songs!

  • Great show and venue

    by PleasantonJR on 8/21/11Montalvo - SaratogaRating: 5 out of 5

    The show was very enjoyable. Got more than my money's worth. The venue is fabulous and the people there were all very nice.

  • Very Nice

  • Christopher Cross as good as always

    by CarolMead on 10/30/10Julie Rogers Theatre - BeaumontRating: 4 out of 5

    Christopher Cross gave another awesome show and played all my favorites. Talked a bit to us about his time traveling and was great. Background light display awesome and band was a hit too. Music changed a bit but that was great too. I am still reliving that night and thought it was a hit. I will not forget it. Thanks for singing "Swept Away" and "Sailing".

  • Christopher cross show was amazing.

    by Anonymous on 5/4/10B.B. King Blues Club and Grill - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    I have been a fan of Christopher Cross since the 1980's and have followed his music over the years. I never thought that i would be in a position to see him and the band live. I visited New York in April 2010 for the specific reason as to see Christopher live at BB King's and he was just as good as he is on the CD's i play, if not, even better. I would certainly have no hesitation in attending a future concert, even if i had to fly to New York again. Thanks Christopher for all the years of continued pleasure you have provided for me and your fan base.

  • by bassplayer6 on 4/16/10B.B. King Blues Club and Grill - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    The venue is outstanding. Great atmosphere, not too small but cozy enough to be close to the artist. Sound was excellent---that's really important ---been to enough shows over the years where that aspect was sadly lacking-- not fair to the artist or the audience. Chris was great---vocals haven't lost a thing. The band was tight--he obviously cares a lot about the quality of his supporting players. His banter with the crowd was genuine---that's also refreshing. I remember covering some of his songs in clubs in Jersey 'round 80'/81'. Found myself wanting to sing along---great singer/player-- great show.

  • great show

    by LuckyPierre667 on 4/10/10Birchmere - AlexandriaRating: 5 out of 5

    Karla, Kenny and Nina were amazing. Chris Cross was good.

  • by Anonymous on 4/10/10Birchmere - AlexandriaRating: 5 out of 5

    The Birchmere offered an intimate venue for a fabulous concert by Karla Bonoff and Christopher Cross. Everything about the evening was perfect.

  • Chris Cross and Karla Bonoff

    by MIke58DC on 4/10/10Birchmere - AlexandriaRating: 5 out of 5

    Fantastic show - both of the headliners and thier bands were clearly into the show. Intimate setting like the Birchmere really allows the audience to connect with the performers. Both shared thoughts on the music between songs and were available afterwards for autographs.

  • Should Have Been Billed As As "Acoustic Show" !

    by FrankDan on 2/24/10California Theatre of the Performing Arts - San BernardinoRating: 3 out of 5

    I saw Christopher Cross as an opening act at Pachanga Casino. He was AMAZING ! Unfortunately, the show I saw at Calif. Theatre was an "acoustic show", not at as good as the one I'd seen previously, If the show had been advertised as an "acoustic show" I probably would not have purchased tickets.

  • Christopher Cross was amazing!!!!!

    by JohnnyTBone on 2/22/10California Theatre of the Performing Arts - San BernardinoRating: 5 out of 5

    First the venue was great, an old opera house that was built in the 1800's turned movie house restored to California Theater of the Performing Arts was small quaint and beautiful. Christopher Cross hasn't missed a beat I thought I was back in 1980 when I first heard him. I you have a chance and your a fan don't hesitate to go see him.

  • Cristopher Cross @ California Theater

    by Anonymous on 2/22/10California Theatre of the Performing Arts - San BernardinoRating: 4 out of 5

    The venue is really great, we sat in the balcony and felt like we were on stage. His songs brought back many memories and although I hadn't followed his career much I recognized his signature songs and the opening artist was a very good musician. The other musicians in the band were very talented. If there was a disapointment it was some of the songs Cristopher Cross sang it was very hard to understand the words. The sound level was good but his annunciation was hard to hear. My wife loved it. It was her 46th birthday. So, I oved it

  • Christopher Cross

    by Pilates on 1/24/10The Plaza Theatre - OrlandoRating: 4 out of 5

    The venue was really great. Christopher Cross was excellent. It was small and intimate and you felt as though you were there as a listening to a friend. The sound system in the theatre was really good for the acoustics show Cris preformed. My husband and I would go back to the theatre again to see other bands. It was an enjoyable experience and Chris Cross was the best. It is nice to see a favorite artist from the past in a setting such as the Plaza Theatre.

  • Christopher Cross Concert

    by Gerhardt on 1/24/10The Plaza Theatre - OrlandoRating: 4 out of 5

    This is the second event I have had the pleasure to attend at the Plaza Theater. The evening show started off with a Orlando Local, who's unique Jazz impressions was carefully crafted and provided an excellent experience to those unfamiliar with Chris's work. Christopher came on shortly after Chris and his new interpretation of his older work gave the familiar tunes a new and welcomed feel. The new Jazz inspired flavor mixed with a intimate atmosphere of the Plaza made this a memorable evening. Great show, great staff

  • Nice to remember those times

    by Lovenow on 1/24/10The Plaza Theatre - OrlandoRating: 4 out of 5

    My wife and I enjoyed the concert as well as everybody at the Plaza Theater, unfortunately time has passed over Christopher Cross' voice and he cannot sing the way he used to. But this doesn't mean that we didn't enjoy the concert, we had fun and some good remembrances came up to our mids when we heard "Never be the Same", "Sailing", "Ride like the Wind" and "Arthur" as well as the others. Excellent sound, good timing and length of the concert. It was our first time at the Plaza theater. Nice size to enjoy shows from anywhere but seats too low made me feel as if I was seated at the floor and my legs were hurting. Easy access, lots of parking space, affordable price.

  • Christopher Cross in Orlando

    by shagbolt on 1/24/10The Plaza Theatre - OrlandoRating: 4 out of 5

    We had fifth row, dead center seats at the intimate Plaza Theater in downtown Orlando. Cross' backup band were jazz musicians on piano, winds, bass and trap set. Very, very good when released which was not as often as I would have liked. My favorite was "The Red Room" from the Avalon CD which showed off the musicians the best. Other tunes from his famous debut album and albums over the years. Overall, a totally wonderful experience. Afterward, Cross and Burns were in the lobby w/CD, signings, pictures and conversation. Great time and not what you're going to get in a stadium concert.
