Marshall Crenshaw w/Bottle Rockets

Marshall Crenshaw

Marshall Crenshaw earned more than a few comparisons to Elvis Costello after his 1982—not only for his knack for witty, good-humored rock ’n’ roll but also for his distinctive affinity for hats—but over the following decades, Crenshaw has escaped those Costello comparisons, maturing into a more reflective writer without ever fully abandoning the warm humor and nervous energy that made his ’82 self-titled debut record such a thrill. Crenshaw shares this show with his regular tourmates The Bottle Rockets, the long-running alt-country outfit led by former Uncle Tupelo player Brian Henneman. Unlike many of their alt-county peers, The Bottle Rockets were never afraid to embrace unabashed Southern rock, as they demonstrated on their 2015 album, South Broadway Athletic Club.
