Johnny Marr plays a Sofa Session for Jo, including music from his forthcoming double album, β€˜Fever Dreams Pts 1-4’, which is out February 25th.

The album reflects his multi-faceted past, but takes his music somewhere startlingly new. β€œThere’s a set of influences and a very broad sound that I’ve been developing - really since getting out of The Smiths,” he says. β€œAnd I hear it in this record. There are so many strands of music in it. I think it’s the most ambitious solo record I’ve done.”

Following the release of β€˜Fever Dreams Pts 1-4’, Johnny Marr will join Blondie as a special guest on their β€˜Against The Odds’ headline tour through April and May, including London’s O2 Arena, before heading out on The Killers’ headline US arena tour, beginning in August through to October 2022.

Johnny Marr started his career with The Smiths, beginning an amazing history as one of the most influential songwriters and guitarists in British independent music.
