Johnny Marr has announced a North American tour in support of his solo debut The Messenger (Sire/ADA) due out Feb. 26.
The release of The Messenger marks a significant milestone in Marr's distinguished career. First known for his work as the creative force behind The Smiths, Marr has collaborated with Talking Heads, Pet Shop Boys, The The, Electronic and more.
One of the most influential guitarists in rock history, Marr was a member of the Modest Mouse line-up for 2007's chart topping We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank. Similarly, Marr joined The Cribs when they hit the U.K. Top 10 with their 2009 release Ignore The Ignorant.
The Messenger
was written and produced by Marr. Based in Portland
since 2005, Marr returned to the U.K. in early 2012 to work on
the album. Recorded in Manchester and Berlin, it was mastered at Abbey
Road by Frank Artwright who recently collaborated with Marr on the re-mastering work for The Smiths' box set Complete.
Earlier this week, it was announced that he will receive the Godlike Genius Award at the upcoming NME Awards in England.
