Marshall Crenshaw: 40+ Years in Showbiz!

Marshall Crenshaw

Marshall Crenshaw has been crafting smart, soulful pop songs since the early ’80s — and he’s still going strong. With a knack for melodic hooks, sharp lyrics, and a voice that channels vintage rock ‘n’ roll with effortless charm, Crenshaw has carved out a singular career spanning over four decades. His breakout hit “Someday, Someway” turned heads with its retro-modern sound, and his deep catalog since has only confirmed his status as a master of classic songcraft.

Whether you know him as the guy who once played John Lennon in Beatlemania, Buddy Holly in La Bamba, or simply as one of the most underrated pop auteurs of his generation, Crenshaw brings a warmth and musicianship to the stage that’s impossible to fake. Backed by a tight band that grooves as hard as it shimmers, his live shows are a celebration of collaboration, craft, and timeless tunes — from the toe-tappers to the heartstring-pullers.

James Mastro

James Mastro has done just about everything you can do with a guitar — and now, he’s stepping boldly into the spotlight. Known for touring the world with legends like Patti Smith, Ian Hunter, and John Cale, Mastro’s solo work is where his full range as a songwriter, player, and storyteller shines. His new album Dawn of a New Error is a fiery blend of Americana, glam rock, and art-pop, filled with sharp hooks, textured arrangements, and thoughtful lyrics. Produced by longtime collaborator Tony Shanahan and featuring guests like Ian Hunter, the record showcases a sound that’s as timeless as it is inventive. Whether conjuring the grit of early CBGB nights or channeling the swagger of Tom Petty and the scope of Wilco, Mastro proves he’s not just a sideman — he’s a master of the craft.
