Join us at the Epicurean Garage for an unforgettable musical tribute to the iconic Jim Croce. Bob White, a profound admirer and musician, will recreate the magical moments of Croce's music in an environment steeped in history.A significant part of this evening's allure is the proximity to Highspire Corner in East Brandywine. This 1700s farmhouse was once the beloved home of Jim Croce and his wife, Ingrid, during the 1970s. It was in this setting that classics like “Time in a Bottle” were born. Here, along with Maury Muehleisen, Jim produced the iconic album 'You Don’t Mess Around with Jim', the album cover of which features the farm's historic stone outhouse.
Highspire Corner, now gracefully transformed by Julie and James Pook into an Airbnb and auction house, offers an intimate glimpse into Croce's world. Guests can relish the rustic farmhouse vibes, complete with Jim Croce records. A dedicated third-floor loft serves as an artist or writer’s haven, sparking creativity with tools like canvases and paintbrushes.
At the heart of the evening, Bob will strum the strings of his vintage 1974 Ovation guitar, an echo of the very instrument Jim once played, evoking the nostalgic sounds of the '70s. As he performs, Bob will be draped in his signature Jean jacket, reminiscent of the style Jim favored, adorned with signatures of luminaries like James Taylor, Ingrid Croce, AJ Croce, and even family members of the gifted Maury Muehleisen.
For lovers of Jim Croce's art, history buffs, or those who appreciate evocative melodies, this tribute evening offers a rare convergence of music, history, and ambience.
