Christopher Cross in Concert at Carnegie of Homestead Music Hall (Sun., 10/1/23)

Only one artist has won all four of the General Field Grammy Awards in one ceremony: Christopher Cross. Those awards are Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Album of the Year, and Best New Artist. He won the first two for “Sailing” and the third for his eponymous debut album, released in 1979. Cross added an Oscar to all those Grammys when he won Best Original Song in 1982. The song, which he co-wrote and performed, was “Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do)” for the hit rom-com Arthur, starring Dudley Moore and Liza Minnelli. Since those times, Cross gradually receded from being a household name on the fame meter, but he has remained very active up to the present. His 15(!) studio albums include the latest, 2018’s Take Me As I Am. In 2020 he released a deluxe compilation set, Christopher Cross: The Complete Works. And though he may not bring a live flamingo — the bird that’s been his de facto logo since it appeared on the cover of his debut album — you can catch Cross live and singin’ at the Carnegie of Homestead Music Hall. 7 p.m. 510 E. 10th Ave., Munhall. (C.M., M.V.)
