Marshall Crenshaw is an American musician and singer-songwriter recognized for his craftsmanship in melodic pop-rock songs that blend beat-group-era sensibilities with a modern flair. Born on November 11, 1953, in Detroit, Michigan, Crenshaw developed an early interest in music, an affection that would become the cornerstone of his enduring career. Bursting onto the music scene in the early 1980s, his eponymous debut album "Marshall Crenshaw" was released in 1982 to critical acclaim, largely due to the success of the hit single "Someday, Someway."

His discography showcases a blend of rock, pop, and soul influences that are as evident in his earliest works as in his later live recordings and reissues.

Crenshaw is not only a proficient songwriter but also an accomplished guitarist with a flair for infectiously melodic hooks, demonstrated in diverse live offerings such as "Marshall Crenshaw Sings Elvis (Live)" and "Thank You, Rock Fans!! (Live)." His body of work, including "#392: The EP Collection" and "Grab the Next Train," reflects an artist deeply in love with the nuances of rock ‘n’ roll, continuously delighting fans with his dedication to the craft and his ability to capture the essence of live performance in his recordings.
