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, Secret Ladder, 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.

KUTX is proud to have played host to five-time Grammy winner and Lone Star native Christopher Cross. His musical talent, fantastic band, and charming sense of humor (!) put an excited and crowded Studio 1A entirely at ease. And with his hit "Sailing," we couldn't have felt more caught up in the reverie.
