The Ponte Vedra Concert Hall announces the return of adult contemporary artist Christopher Cross as he brings his “Take Me As I Am” 2019 Tour to Ponte Vedra Beach on Wednesday, February 27, 2019!
Christopher Cross made history with his 1980 self-titled debut album, winning 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.
Now, 30+ years after his extraordinary emergence into the music business, Cross continues his recording and performing career with a new album, Take Me As I Am, that evokes the artistry of such great singer-songwriters as Joni Mitchell and Randy Newman while addressing contemporary concerns head-on –a combination which is sure to please his loyal fan base.
Take Me As I Am is a unique offering from Christopher Cross, a hybrid of sorts - the songs are instrumentals with choruses to create the lyrical landscape. This is not quite a “guitar” album, but it leaves the listener with no question about his expertise on the subject. Two very special songs are “Roberta," dedicated to Christopher’s mentor, Joni Mitchell, and “Truth” with a lyric by Rob Meurer, one of the last songs Rob wrote before his tragic passing. This song is sung as a duet with Gigi Worth, a name that will be familiar to Christopher’s fans. Gigi and Rob were also very close, which makes her performance on this track all the more meaningful. The album closes with a song in memory of Rob called "Alvah," (Rob’s middle name), which features beautiful string arrangements by Chris Walden.
