City Winery Boston presents Marshall Crenshaw live on November 11th at 7:30pm.
Plus Sarah Borges &amp; Eric Ambel.
Few songwriters from the early '80s have aged as well as Marshall Crenshaw — and fewer still sound this good in a room where you can actually watch their hands on the guitar.
Crenshaw is the kind of live performer who makes you remember why you fell for guitar-driven songwriting in the first place. The craft is right there on the surface: the chord changes that feel inevitable, the melodies that stick before the song is over, the voice that hasn't lost a step. Over thirteen albums and thousands of performances, he's never stopped refining what he does — and what he does is write and play songs that hold up.
Expect the classics — "Someday, Someway," "Cynical Girl," "Whenever You're On My Mind" — alongside the deeper cuts that reward the fans who've been showing up for decades. This is the rare artist whose catalog gets better the more you know it, and a live set at City Winery is one of the better ways to find that out. The room is the right size. The sound is the right kind of close. And there's something to be said for hearing songs this well-made in a place that takes both the music and the meal seriously.
Come with someone who appreciates a song done right.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/165721/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

Longfellow House-Washington's Headquarters National Historic Site

In August of 1900, several members of the Longfellow family travelled to Desbarats, Ontario, where they had been invited to attend the first performance of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem Hiawatha put on by members of the Garden River First Nation. These productions, which spread throughout Indigenous communities across Western Ontario and Northern Michigan in the years that followed, featured largely Native actors and were performed in the Anishinaabe language. Analyzing these Hiawatha performances offers a window to explore how Native people reappropriated Western representations to insist on the survival of their own peoples and traditions.
This event will feature two talks about the August 1900 performance based on research done in the collections held by the Longfellow House-Washington’s Headquarters’ National Historic Site. The first, by Professor Karl Hele, will describe the context and circumstances of the performance. The second, by Professor Alan Corbiere, will look at the use of the Anishinaabe language in the performances and in the material created for the Longfellow family.
Alan Corbiere, Bne wedoodemid (Ruffed Grouse clan), is an Anishinaabe from M'Chigeeng First Nation on Manitoulin Island. He is an assistant professor of history and Canada Research Chair in Indigenous History of North America at York University. His research focuses on Anishinaabe language, oral traditions, and material culture. He has published in the journals Museum Anthropology, the Algonquian Papers, and others, as well as in the edited collection Afterlives of Indigenous Archives: Essays in Honor of the Occom Circle. He has also served as the the Executive Director at the Ojibwe Cultural Foundation and the Anishinaabemowin Revitalization Program Coordinator at Lakeview School, both in M’Chigeeng First Nation.
Karl S. Hele, a member of Garden River First Nation, is a full professor and current Director of Canadian and Indigenous Studies at Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick. A specialist in Indigenous Studies, he focuses on First Nations history, politics, and law. He is the author of numerous articles and editor of several edited collections, including Engaging Indigenous Communities: Resources, Rebellions, and Resurgence (Aboriginal Issues Press, 2021), This is Indian Land: The Robinson Treaties of 1850 (Aboriginal Issues Press, 2016), and The Nature of Empires and the Empires of Nature: Indigenous Peoples and the Great Lakes Environment (Wilfrid Laurier University Press, 2013).
This program is made possible by the&nbsp;Mellon Humanities Fellowship Program and Friends of the Longfellow House-Washington's Headquarters, Inc.
