Johnny Marr returns to Zurich
Johnny Marr began his career as a member of the legendary UK band The Smiths and became one of the most influential songwriters and guitarists in British independent music. As his creative journey continued, he was at the center of The The, Electronic, Modest Mouse and The Cribs and collaborated with names such as The Pretenders, Talking Heads, The Avalanches and musician and composer Hans Zimmer, with whom he recorded the score and soundtrack for the recent James Bond film "No Time To Die", including the Oscar-nominated theme song with Billie Eilish.
Since launching his solo career in 2013, Marr has released four UK top ten studio albums: 'The Messenger' (2013), 'Playland' (2014), 'Call The Comet' (2018), 'Fever Dreams Pts 1-4' (2022) and a career-spanning book, 'Marr's Guitars' (via Thames & Hudson).
The full extent of this extraordinarily prolific and creative period is captured in his latest work, "Spirit Power: The Best Of Johnny Marr", a major new collection curated by Johnny and featuring songs from his first ten years as a solo artist, a number of stand-alone singles and two hot new tracks, "Somewhere" and "The Answer". It is a work that reflects Marr's unquenchable vitality, his great musicality and, above all, his love of melody.
