This week, the Twin Cities gets visited by royalty — at least in the worlds of indie rock and guitars. Johnny Marr, the legendary guitarist of the Smiths and Electronic, is playing a solo show with fellow Manchester, England, natives, James, this Friday, October 18, at the Palace Theatre in St Paul. That's why we're going to be spotlighting his awesome skills and catalogue on the show this week as we celebrate this charming man.
