Twenty Summers

Musician, actor, author, publisher, and jack-of-all-trades Marshall Crenshaw launches Twenty Summers' third season with an intimate acoustic solo performance. In a career now spanning four decades, Crenshaw has reached the Billboard Top 40 and been nominated for a Golden Globe Award. As a stage and film actor, he has portrayed other musicians, ranging from Buddy Holly to John Lennon. Since 2011, Crenshaw has served as the host of WFUV's radio show Bottomless Pit, and he is a contributor to Martin Scorsese and Mick Jagger's HBO series Vinyl.

On May 21, 2016, we welcomed Nicole Atkins to the Barn. Her debut album, Neptune City, paid homage to her New Jersey hometown and won her a place on Rolling Stone's list of Top 10 Artists to Watch. Since then, she has produced two more--Mondo Amore and Slow Phaser--and toured widely through the U.S. and Europe.

Writer, illustrator, and photographer Garance Dore visited the barn on June 11, 2016, for an interview on the current state of fashion, style, and her career with Twenty Summers co-founder Ricky Opaterny. Dore's eponymous blog reaches millions of readers, and the New York Times Magazine has called her the "guardian of all style." She has won the Council of Fashion Designers of America's Eugenia Sheppard Media Award and is the author of the 2015 bestseller Love Style Life.
