Marshall Crenshaw: 40+ Years in Showbiz!

City Winery Nashville Presents Marshall Crenshaw: 40+ Years in Showbiz! live on March 26th at 7:30pm

A celebrated songwriter, an accomplished guitarist, and an engaging performer, Marshall Crenshaw has had a strikingly diverse career in music. A master of pop classicism whose work sounds and feels fresh and timeless, Crenshaw's 1982 debut album was an instant classic that heralded the arrival of a major artist, and over the next four decades, he played Buddy Holly in the movie La Bamba, co-wrote a Top Ten single for the Gin Blossoms, had his songs covered by everyone from Bette Midler to the New Grass Revival, toured with former members of the MC5, and created the signature song for Judd Apatow's fictive music star Dewey Cox. Crenshaw has never lost his knack for great pop songwriting while showing a greater thematic maturity in his releases of the 1990s (1996's Miracle of Science) and 2000s (2009's Jaggedland), and a series of expanded reissues (beginning in 2023 with Marshall Crenshaw and Field Day) was a reminder that his early work had not lost its luster.
