Marshall Crenshaw with James Mastro

Born in 1953 in Detroit, Michigan, Marshall Crenshaw learned to tune a guitar correctly at age ten and has been trying ever since. His first big break came in 1978 playing John Lennon in Beatlemania, first as an understudy in New York, then in the West Coast company, followed by a national touring company. Removing himself from that situation in Feb. 1980, Marshall settled in New York City. Enthralled by the hyper-diverse musical culture of the City, and the local Rock scene in particular, Marshall formed a Rock and Roll band with brother Robert on drums and Chris Donato on bass.After crossing paths with the great and legendary Alan Betrock, Marshall recorded his debut single Somethings Gonna Happen for Betrocks Shake Records label; at nearly the same time, legendary Rockabilly singer Robert Gordons recording of Marshalls Someday Someway was released as a single on the RCA label. These two records simultaneously broke big on New Yorks WNEW-FM, causing Marshall and his trios local popularity to explode.And so began a career thats spanned four decades, 13 albums, Grammy and Golden Globe nominations, film and TV appearances (Buddy Holly in La Bamba) and thousands of live performances. Marshall Crenshaws musical output has maintained a consistent fidelity to the qualities of artfulness, and passion, and his efforts have been rewarded with the devotion of a broad and loyal fan base.Presently, along with touring around the country and the occasional recording project, other current projects include producing a documentary film-in progress about legendary record producer Tom Wilson. Says Crenshaw, This is a road that Id never imagined taking before, but its been an incredible learning experience. Although he was seen as a latter-day Buddy Holly at the outset, he soon proved too talented and original to be anyone but himself. Trouser Press
