Info
Christopher Cross brings his smooth, melodic songwriting to York on 16 May 2026 at York Barbican. A figure of late-70s and early-80s soft rock, he built his name on clear melodies and layered harmonies that sit between west coast pop and light jazz. On stage, he revisits the songs that made him a familiar voice, from Ride Like the Wind and Sailing to Arthur’s Theme, alongside deeper cuts that trace the path of his catalogue.
The set tends to span his self-titled debut and Another Page through later albums like Walking in Avalon, Doctor Faith, Secret Ladder and Take Me As I Am. Arrangements favor clean guitar lines, warm keys and tight backing vocals, leaving space for his calm phrasing. Without chasing nostalgia, the show connects the early radio staples to more recent writing, highlighting the same attention to hooks and soft dynamics that has guided his work since the start.
Known for a run of Grammy wins in 1981, Cross has kept a steady touring rhythm in North America and Europe. Here, he returns with a band that serves the songs first: measured grooves, precise playing, and a focus on melody. It’s a chance to hear the contours of his catalogue in one flow, from chart landmarks to quieter corners that reveal the songwriter behind the hits.
