About
Songs you know, and a few of my own.
I’m Cesar Cruz. A singer, guitarist and songwriter based in Hickory, North Carolina. I play the bars, bistros, breweries, markets and wedding floors of the Catawba Valley, weaving the songs people love together with a handful of originals of my own. Some nights it’s just me and a guitar; others it’s a full band. Either way, the set bends to fit the room.
What you’ll hear
Songs the whole room knows.
Seven decades of music, perfect for any room. From a laid-back acoustic brunch to a packed Saturday night, with a few of my own songs woven in. Here’s a taste of the set.
