Marshall Crenshaw is an American musician, singer and songwriter best known for his song "Someday, Someway", a Top 40 hit in 1982. This song he plays at every single one of his concerts which are wonderful to witness live and in person.
There is a distinct Buddy Holly feel when you are in concert as well as knowing that he feels his roots lie at the intersection of classic soul music, British Invasion songcraft, Burt Bacharach and Buddy Holly of course. Crenshaw has an amazing stage persona, almost always wearing a black hat, matching tshirt, and cool tailored jeans with his guitar and microphone of course, so you can see the relationship with Buddy Holly.
He plays solely from his ten studio albums, which can be disappointing if it were another artist, but since his sound is so unique and diverse, this does not matter. He is so popular that many have made covers of his song, so you may be surprised to know that he wrote certain songs such as “Brand New Lover” and “Communication.”
Crenshaw is an amazing American singer that performs all across the United States of America, Canada, and Mexico. His concerts are just fantastic and provide an amazing environment that you just cannot recreate with your own home studio sound system.
We were lucky enough to see Sarah and her band at Smith's Olde bar in Atlanta. It was a great show: lots of energy, a tight, hard rocking rhythm section and tasty guitar textures plus that amazing voice delivered in a fun and friendly package--they absolutely filled the room with gorgeous sound. The ease and professionalism with which they casually accomplished this was very impressive, and very enjoyable. I'd say it was one of the best shows I've seen, in 25+ years of show going. Once I wiped the drool away from my face, I noticed that Sarah is an amazing and effective guitar player, in addition to being a virtuosic singer and songwriter with a great personality. She should be a bigger star, but then she wouldn't play the smaller venues, so I'm happy to have her as she is! I hope she makes it back down here again soon..
