More than 40 years after the release of his self-titled debut album, which spawned his only U.S. Top 40 single (“Someday, Someway”), 69-year-old Marshall Crenshaw is still delivering his own brand of Buddy Holly-inspired pop. After all, he did play the singer in the 1987 film La Bamba. But he’s also done stints as lead vocalist in The Smithereens and Gin Blossoms — for whom he wrote one of that band’s biggest hits, the top 10 “Til I Hear It From You.” Crenshaw’s latest album is 2020’s Miracle of Science. The man doesn’t tour much, so now’s your chance…plus, this show is with a full band, featuring Derrick Anderson, Mark Ortmann and Fernando Perdomo.
