Complimentary light snacks and beverages are included.

Marshall Crenshaw brings a career’s worth of songs and stories, shaped by years of writing, recording, and touring. Born in Detroit and drawn to the guitar from a young age, he broke through in 1978 portraying John Lennon in Beatlemania, first as an understudy in New York, then with the West Coast cast and the national tour. After leaving the production in early 1980, he moved to New York City, where the vibrant rock scene inspired him to form a trio with his brother Robert on drums and Chris Donato on bass. Not long after, a connection with Alan Betrock led to his debut single, “Something’s Gonna Happen,” on Shake Records, while Robert Gordon released his version of Crenshaw’s “Someday, Someway” on RCA. Both tracks earned major airplay on New York’s WNEW-FM and quickly raised the trio’s local profile. Since then he has built a four-decade run marked by 13 albums, appearances on film and television including portraying Buddy Holly in La Bamba, and thousands of concerts. His current touring band, assembled in 2022, features Fernando Perdomo on guitar, a multi-instrumentalist and producer, Derrick Anderson on bass, also a singer-songwriter, and drummer Mark Ortmann, a founder of the Bottle Rockets. Sarah Borges and Eric Ambel open.
