I sit down and spend an evening with my music hero.  Listen and get to know Marshall.

Marshall Crenshaw is a musical artist and best known for hit songs such as "Someday, Someway" in 1982, "Cynical Girl", and "Whenever You're on My Mind". His music has roots in classic soul music and Buddy Holly, to whom Crenshaw was often compared in the early days of his career, and whom he portrayed in the 1987 film La Bamba.

Marshall has been lauded by critics as one of the key musicians of the new wave and power pop genres, though he has expressed a dislike for the latter connection, stating, "Some of the stuff I've done you could call power pop, but the term does have sort of a dodgy connotation." Crenshaw has named 1960s-era Top 40 music as his greatest influence, stating, "I hold that music and that kind of pop approach in really high regard. I have those records in my head. They really won't go away."
