First of all I have to commend staff member Sabrina for making this an incredible occasion...I'm handicapped and she made sure that I was taken to the proper location, ensuring I didn't miss anything. Sabrina, I love you! And the show...what can I say? He was AMAZING. I've been a fan since I was a teenage guitarist and he was one of my biggest ifluences, and the show was everything I dreamed of and more. I loved his new stuff, I loved his older stuff, I just was blown away. Everyone who has the opportunity to attend one of his shows...don't hesitate! Go go go! What an incredible experience!

James absolutely crushed it with an amazing set. Marr was fantastic as usual. There were fewer songs from his solo albums than I was expecting. I’ve seen him in Austin before (The Call the Comet tour) and he was playing heavily from the new album. I was expecting a lot more from Fever Dreams this time around, but was pleasantly surprised by a robust collection of songs from The Smiths era. (Panic, Please, Please, Please let me get what I want, This Charming Man, There is a Light That Never Goes out) and even a cover (The Passenger- Iggy Pop). All in all a fantastic show. Marr is ALWAYS worth seeing when he’s touring, and even more so when he’s doing smaller venues

Great venue and lineup! Wish Johnny would have joined James on stage for at least one song. Johnny played all the songs I was hoping to hear. Might need to see him again during the US tour!

About Johnny Marr

The early 1980s weren’t the best of times to be an aspiring guitar player. Twenty years earlier, the head of Decca records, Dick Rowe, had made the biggest A&R gaff in pop history with the legendary clanger "Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein". But in 1982, Rowe’s apocalyptic prophecy suddenly sounded frighteningly real. After the initial roar and storm of punk, British pop music had succumbed to a synthesizer-driven pursuit of new waves and new romanticisms. In an age of Vienna’s, Tainted Love’s and Too Shy’s, the pure sound of six-stringed, melodic pop - be it as amorous as The Beatles, as lascivious as The Stones or as giddy as T.Rex - was fast becoming a lost cause with few willing to fight its corner.


That all changed with Johnny Marr.

Born in Manchester on Halloween 1963, of Irish heritage, Marr’s earliest musical memories are the get-togethers of his extended family, perhaps - as his early guitar idol Marc Bolan would sing - dancing himself out of the womb to the traditional strains of Black Velvet Band. As a child he’d be spellbound by his parents’ record collection: the forlorn dramas of Del Shannon, the prison doldrums of Johnny Cash and the heart-popping bliss of his mother’s Four Tops singles. All these influences would linger at the back of the boy Marr’s brain, waiting for the command to attack his finger tips at a later date.

That date finally came during the early summer of 1982 when Marr, just 18 years-old, formed The Smiths after seeking out the reclusive and elusive Stretford poet, Morrissey. Musically, the sound of The Smiths was a guitar noise nostalgically familiar yet equally dumbfounding in its pristine newness. The tunes were giant, euphoric and instantaneous but woven together with such nimble flair it appeared as if the guitar was playing Marr instead of the other way round. Lost for words, early critics of the day undersold him with the words "jingle" and "jangle" when, had they tried, they might better have described the sound of Johnny Marr as that of Van Gogh’s Starry Night in angry animation. Or the echo of diamonds raining down upon zinc-plated cobblestones. Or the sound of kitchen cutlery bouncing off a gaffer-taped Telecaster (which, ridiculous as it sounds, is how Marr achieved some of the resonant clangs in This Charming Man.)
