Awesome, love Asheville. Wife and I just saw Martin two nights ago in Ithaca, NY and loved the show and the energy of his band. We are stoked the tour continues into 2017 and we'll definitely catch a few more stops!

Barre has been the guitarist of Jethro Tull for over 40 years, helping create as sound that has been a major influence on rock. Barre has also worked with Paul McCartney, Phil Collins, Gary Moore, and Joe Bonamassa and has shared a stage with such legends as Jimi Hendrix, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. Barre will perform with his band, offering up original songs along with songs from the Jethro Tull catalog. Rock the Boot started as a benefit for the Muscular Dystrophy Association and has grown to include contributions to local families struggling with the financial implications of fighting health issues. The event is produced by Ludlow firefighters Dan McKenney and Bud Ellison. Over the years the summer concert has featured national headliners such as Enter the Haggis, Jonathan Edwards, and Mike Farris. Last summer's event was headlined by the Artimus Pyle Band.

Picture by Matt Condon/@arcane93. Use only to publicise Keighley Blues Live3 Dec 2016 / David Knights KEIGHLEY Blues Live will kick off its 2017 programme with a headline appearance by the guitarist from legendary rock band Jethro Tull. The Martin Barre Band will perform at the group’s venue, the Octagon club in Sandbeds, on January 20. The support for the 7.45pm gig at the Bradford Road venue will be Jilly Riley. Martin Barre was the guitarist of Jethro Tull from 1969 until Ian Anderson ‘retired’ the band in 2012, and played a huge role in their success with more than 60 million albums sold worldwide. Martin’s guitar playing has earned him respect and recognition across the world, with his solo from the iconic Tull song Aqualung voted 25th greatest of all time in the USA, and 20th greatest of all time in UK. He also received a Grammy Award in 1988 for his playing on the Tull album Crest Of A Knave. Outside Jethro Tull, Martin has worked with artists including Paul McCartney, Phil Collins, Gary Moore, Jo Bonamassa and Chris Thompson to name just a few. He has also shared the stage with such legends as Jimi Hendrix, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. Martin has put together his own band to play ‘classic’ music from the Tull catalogue as well as material from his solo projects and a few blues classics. A spokesman said: “Vocalist/guitarist and Joe Bo look-alike Dan Crisp supplies stunning vocal interpretations of the Tull back catalogue. “But it is his harmony guitar that particularly impresses, allowing Martin space and a sound that replicate the album versions albeit in some instances reimagined by the originator. "Honourable mentions too for Alan Thomson, who spent many years in John Martyn’s band, on bass, plus occasional mandolin and the solid, accomplished percussion of the redoubtable George Lindsay on drums.” Advance tickets for the intimate live show cost £20, and £2 more on the door if they are still available.

www.harrogateadvertiser.co.uk/whats-on/jethro-tull-legend-for-gig-in-harrogate-area-1-8325449Jethro Tull legend for gig in Harrogate areaby GRAHAM CHALMERS. Published 9 Jan 2017 One of the area’s top live music venues may have seen its main promoter opt for ‘retirement’ but 2017 still looks set to be another vintage year for fans of the blues, soul and rock at Ripley Town Hall. As influential promoter Andy Herrington prepares to take a back seat after more than ten amazing years, a Grammy Award-winning guitarist is set to arrive at Ripley, writes Graham Chalmers. Appearing on Saturday, January 21, Martin Barre is legendary for his contribution of several decades to folk-rock greats Jethro Tull. It’s his guitar music fans can hear on the likes of Jethro Tull's classic albums Aqualung and Thick As A Brick. Barre received a Grammy Award in 1988 for his playing on the Tull album Crest Of A Knave. But Martin’s lengthy life in music spans more than Ian Anderson’s famous outfit. Outside Jethro Tull, Martin has worked with artists including Paul McCartney, Phil Collins, Gary Moore, Joe Bonamassa and Chris Thompson to name just a few. He has also shared the stage with such legends as Jimi Hendrix, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. Martin has put together his own band to play "classic" music from the Tull catalogue as well as material from his solo projects and a few blues classics. Vocalist/guitarist Dan Crisp supplies stunning vocal interpretations of the Tull back catalogue but it is his harmony guitar that particularly impresses, allowing Martin space and a sound that replicate the album versions albeit in some instances re-imagined by the originator. Honourable mentions too for Alan Thomson, who spent many years in John Martyn's band, on bass plus occasional mandolin and the solid, accomplished percussion of the redoubtable George Lindsay on drums. As for the inspiration behind the transformation of Ripley Town Hall into one of the UK's top venues, Andy isn't completely hanging up his boots. Andy said: “I had a health scare three years ago. I was very lucky, almost fully recovered and a lot to thank the National Health Service for. “But I wanted to pass on some responsibilities in case I should fall off my perch again! "I will continue my involvement with the club but am passing on the programming at the end of the year." Other events coming up at Ripley Town Hall include Andy Fairweather Low and The Low Riders on February 18.

My review of The Martin Barre Band at The Cluny Newcastle 19th January 2017
The Cluny's certainly a strange venue set near Newcastle's Quayside. When I arrived the bar was pretty packed with people having a pint or two plus the odd burger. At 20.00 the doors opened to the room where Martin's band were to be playing. Leaving the very warm bar behind, people (including me) were soon putting their coats back on because the room was a bit nippy and a bloke told me as I entered "you can sit anywhere mate". He was joking of course because there was only about a dozen seats so it was mainly 'standing room only'. Thank goodness my gout was cured I was thinking.
Two young ladies came on stage introduced by Martin and they sang a few songs to get everyone in the mood for what was to come. They later sang with Martin's band.
Martin Barre's Band finally came on just before 9 pm. and they started with a couple of instrumental's and I soon learned that I was in for a treat. Martin's guitar playing is first class as you would expect and he was clearly enjoying the gig. I was also very impressed with Dan Crisp, his singing and guitar playing was superb and he also proved to be good on bass as well as lead guitar. Alan Thompson was excellent on bass and backing vocals. Paul Burgess played well on drums and I do feel he'll get better and better as the tour goes on. Paul was certainly more comfortable playing the Tull stuff which included "A New Day Yesterday" "Teacher" "A Song for Jeffrey" "Thick as a Brick" "Skating Away" "Love Story" Sweet Dream" and Locomotive Breath". Other songs that I can remember were "Eleanor Rigby" "Back to Steel" and "A Moment of Madness". Sorry for the ones I've missed, just put it down to my age.
Martin Barre at 70 is still worth every penny of the admission fee and if any of you get a chance to see him and his band, then GO!
Another of my video's..........
