Back in 2013, we (Cal & Whitney Stone - 2 Stones Events) brought Marshall Crenshaw to Novi to perform at the Michigan State Fair, and ever since then we've wanted to bring him back to his home state.

The Berkley, Mich. native stormed the music world in 1982 with his self-titled debut album that featured the hit "Someday, Someway", which peaked at Number Thirty-six on the Top Forty chart. Rolling Stone magazine included it in its Best 100 Albums of the Eighties list: the album is an alternately rousing and heartbreaking cycle of infectious pop rockers ("Cynical Girl," "Rockin' Around in N.Y.C.," "She Can't Dance") and ballads ("Mary Anne," "Not for Me") — none of them clocking in at more than 3:07.

"At the time, everyone focused on the Fifties-rock influence on my songs," says Crenshaw. "I was widely compared to Buddy Holly [who he portrayed in the film La Bamba] — which is a hell of a nice compliment. But to me the real influences on that record were bands like Rockpile and Squeeze. The first album is very much a product of its time. I wasn't trying to make my pop masterpiece, I was just trying to do a good day's work."

Crenshaw crafted countless more gems following that remarkable debut and is now on a tour celebrating his 40 years in showbiz!
