Over 25 years since breaking through to critical and commercial acclaim with his 1982 self-titled debut and its infectious, era defining Top 40 hit “Someday, Someway,” Marshall Crenshaw creates an incredible new chapter in his stage and film-worthy life with his highly anticipated 429 Records debut Jaggedland. Jaggedland is a musically dynamic and lyrically intimate collection of songs creating a truly career-defining record harkening back to the best and brightest from one of America's greatest songwriters and performers.

The album title Jaggedland is a term Crenshaw says best describes the current state of his brain and consciousness. Simply put, the 12 songs are musical observations about the human experience, mortality, the state of the world and of course, love as viewed through the inimitable Crenshaw perspective. The sessions involved key contributions from legendary drummer Jim Keltner (whose credits include The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Brian Wilson and Joni Mitchell); guitarists Greg Leisz (Lucinda Williams, Robert Plant) and the MC5’s Wayne Kramer as well as legendary vibraphonist, Emil Richards (Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds, Frank Sinatra).

"One of the finest songwriters of his age - or, for that matter, any age." (The New Yorker)

Opening will be local songsmith Dan Israel.
