In celebration of the 25th anniversary of Croce’s Restaurant & Jazz Bar, Ingrid Croce has announced the release of the Jim Croce Anthology Songbook, an intimate collection of music and memories that will delight Jim Croce fans and foodies alike this holiday season.
Ingrid has owned and operated Croce's, one of the top fine dining restaurants in downtown San Diego, since 1985. She built it as a tribute to her late husband, singer-songwriter Jim Croce, who died in a plane crash in the early seventies while topping the charts with "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown," "Time in a Bottle" and "You Don't Mess Around with Jim."
The Jim Croce Anthology Songbook brings together 40 of Croce's beloved songs along with Ingrid’s personal remembrances of the stories behind the writing of each of them. Complete with photos and copies of Jim's handwritten notes, this is a beautiful insight into one of the most popular songwriters of a generation. The collection is available at www.croces.com for $22.99.
According to Ingrid, “It is here at Croce's Restaurant & Jazz Bar that we continue to pay tribute to Jim Croce and his music by serving delicious contemporary American cuisine and offering live music nightly to friends and visitors from around the world. This is my way of sharing the memories of Jim's warmth and hospitality.”
One of San Diego’s most beloved landmarks, Croce’s was recently recognized as Best American Restaurant by the Gaslamp Association during the annual Lamplighter Awards and Best American Restaurant, Reader’s Choice by San Diego Magazine. Mike Mitchell, most recently of Oceanaire, and a veteran of the hospitality industry has joined Croce’s as COO.
Croce’s has always stood for the best that San Diego has to offer in Cuisine, Hospitality and live music. I have a passion for all three and want to provide San Diegans and our visitors a place to create memories. Mike Mitchell
