1001 Musicas - CaixaBank w/ Johnny Marr

On 23 July 2026, Johnny Marr will perform at the Teatro del Generalife in Granada as part of 1001 Músicas - CaixaBank. A guitarist and composer born in Manchester, he was the sonic architect of The Smiths in the early 1980s, with a clear, taut guitar style: interwoven arpeggios, precise counter‑melodies and a rhythmic drive inherited from post‑punk, British pop and 1960s rock. After the band's split, Marr broadened his creative horizons with The The and Electronic — the duo with Bernard Sumner — and later with Modest Mouse and The Cribs, moving toward a more direct indie rock without losing his harmonic detail.

As a solo artist, from The Messenger (2013) to Fever Dreams Pts 1–4 (2022), via Playland and Call the Comet, he has refined a direct, front‑line approach that blends alternative rock, electric pop and subtle synthetic textures, with the guitar as its guide. On stage he sounds concise and rhythmic, with clean lines and interweaving layers, and a repertoire that spans different phases of his career without losing focus on the guitar motif that defines his musical language.
