kawarthanow.com/2018/08/26/jethro-tulls-martin-barre-band/Jethro Tull’s Martin Barre Band returns to Peterborough’s Market Hall on September 25Long-time guitarist with British prog rock band touring latest record along with Jethro Tull classics By kawarthaNOW - Published August 26, 2018  Jethro Tull's Martin Barre Band, featuring the long-time lead guitarist from the iconic British progressive rock band, is performing at Market Hall in Peterborough on September 25, 2018. (Publicity photo)Long-time Jethro Tull guitarist Martin Barre is returning to Peterborough for a concert at Market Hall Performing Arts Centre (140 Charlotte St., Peterborough) on Tuesday, September 25th. Barre has been touring with his own band for some time, and last performed at the Market Hall in April 2017 to rave reviews. He delivers blues-infused hard rock originals along with selections from the Jethro Tull catalogue — classic tunes like “A Song for Jeffrey”, “Aqualung”, “Locomotive Breath” and “Thick as a Brick”, but re-imagined with guitar front and centre. The 72-year-old Barre was the guitarist in Jethro Tull from 1969 until 2012, making him the the longest-standing member of the band aside from founder Ian Anderson. He appeared on every Jethro Tull album except the band’s debut This Was (1968) and is particularly known for his guitar work on Aqualung (1971). His instrumental for the title track of Aqualung was voted the 25th best solo ever in the USA and 20th best solo ever in the UK. Many virtuoso guitarists — including Joe Bonamassa, Steve Vai, and Jo Satriani — have credited Barre as an important influence on their playing. Born in Birmingham, England in 1946, Barre began his musical career in the early 1960s playing saxophone with Birmingham band The Moonrakers, and then joined The Noblemen (later renamed The Motivation).  (Photo: Jethro Tull)Martin Barre played guitar with Jethro Tull from 1969 to 2012, making him the the longest-standing member of the band aside from founder Ian Anderson. (Photo: Jethro Tull) In 1968, Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull — which had formed in 1967 as a blues-rock band before later morphing into a progressive rock outfit — was having conflicts with the band’s guitarist Mick Abrahams and was holding auditions for a new guitarist. Barre showed up for an audition but was so nervous he barely played. He returned for a second audition and, despite arriving without his own amplifier or guitar cord, he got the green light from Anderson. For the next four decades, Barre performed as Jethro Tull’s guitarist (he sometimes played flute and mandolin). In addition to his role in Jethro Tull, he has worked with other musicians including Paul McCartney, Phil Collins, Gary Moore, Jo Bonamassa, and Chris Thompson and has shared a stage with Jimi Hendrix, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin. In 1988, his playing on Jethro Tull’s 16th studio album Crest of a Knave earned him a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance Vocal or Instrumental. The Grammy win was a controversial upset, as many did not consider the album — which beat out records by both Metallica and Jane’s Addiction — to be either hard rock or heavy metal. In fact, no one from the band was at the awards ceremony to accept the award, as they has been told they had zero chance of winning. In all, Jethro Tull has sold an estimated 60 million albums worldwide, with 11 gold and five platinum albums among them, and has been described by Rolling Stone as “one of the most commercially successful progressive rock bands”. The band continues to tour under Ian Anderson’s name, while Barre also performs songs from the band’s catalogue with his own band. In the 1990s, while still with Jethro Tull, Barre began performing as a solo artist. He has since released six studio albums — A Summer Band (1992), A Trick of Memory (1994), The Meeting (1996), Stage Left (2003), Away With Words (2013), and Back To Steel (2015) — with his newest record Roads Less Travelled dropping at the end of August. On Roads Less Travelled, Barre performs on electric guitar, acoustic guitar, and mandolin. “I’ve concentrated on improving my songwriting over the last few years and as a result, I am really pleased with this new CD,” Barre says about Roads Less Travelled. “Although my playing has a lot of space in the music, I’ve worked a lot harder on the arrangements and lyrics. My goal is to have a CD that keeps the listener from beginning to end.” At his Market Hall concert, he’ll be performing tracks from the new record — along with his other original tunes and, of course, some Jethro Tull songs — backed by members of his touring band: vocalist Dan Crisp, bassist Alan Thompson, and drummer Darby Todd. Tickets for Jethro Tull’s Martin Barre Band are $38 for assigned regular seating and $48 for assigned table seating, or $78 for VIP table seats which include a pre-show meet and greet with Barre, a signed poster, and complimentary refreshments. Tickets are available now in person at the Market Hall box office, by phone at 705-749-1146, or online at the Market Hall Box Office or online at markethall.org.  (Photo: Martin Barre Band)

Martin Barre, whose solo from Aqualung was named the 25th best of all time by Guitar World, will be at This Ain't Hollywood as part of his current tour. Through 40 years in Jethro Tull, Barre's dynamic, expressive, explosive guitar playing was paramount to Jethro Tull’s live and recorded sound. Following the band's demise in 2011, Barre struck out on his own. The current tour is in support of his new album, Roads Less Traveled, which will be released on Cleopatra Records on Oct. 12.

www.cityguideny.com/event/Highline-Ballroom-2018-09-20-2018-09-20Martin Barre Band 09/20/18 | 8:00 PM Highline Ballroom 431 W. 16th Street Map 212-414-5994 $32.50 and up AMEX Logo For the past five years Martin has toured the world with his own band to play the "classic" music from the Jethro Tull catalogue, and also many new tracks written by Martin from his albums AWAY WITH WORDS and ORDER OF PLAY, plus his latest album, BACK TO STEEL. For 43 years Martin Barre was the renowned guitarist of Jethro Tull, and his role in the band cannot be overestimated. Bruce Eder wrote on allmusic.com, "His playing has provided much of the energy that allows the band to soar on record and in concert." His unique sound and style contributed enormously to their success, which includes several chart topping albums, eleven gold and five platinum albums, a Grammy Award for CREST OF A KNAVE in 1988, and album sales exceeding 60 million units. Tull continues to be played worldwide, representing an important part of classic rock history. Martin's guitar playing has earned him respect and recognition; he's been voted among the best ever in the USA and in the UK for his playing on "Aqualung." Beyond numerous Jethro Tull albums, Martin has plied those award-winning chops with many other distinguished artists, including Paul McCartney, Phil Collins, Gary Moore, Joe Bonamassa and Chris Thompson. He has shared a stage with such legends as Jimi Hendrix, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. Redoubtable drummer George Lindsay, alongside super songwriter and bass player Alan Thomson form the core of Martin's accomplished band, with vocals performed by the talented and distinctive Dan Crisp. All members are committed to giving the Tull fans and a broader audience the chance to hear tracks not performed for many years with a few surprises along the way.

Sportsmen’s Tavern on Sept. 30. On Sept. 30, former Jethro Tull guitarist Martin Barre returns to the Niagara region for a show at the Sportsmen’s Tavern. Barre’s stint as Jethro Tull’s guitarist lasted 43 years, ending in 2011. Over the classic rock band’s history, there was revolving door of musicians. With the exception of founding member Ian Anderson, Barre was the longest tenured member of the Jethro Tull until they quietly dissolved in 2011. Barre’s name is often bandied around as one of the greatest rock guitarists of all-time. His solo on the Tull classic “Aqualung” is iconic. While Barre does not have the same type of name recognition as many of his contemporaries, he is beloved by fans of Jethro Tull and cited as an influence by contemporary players. Since 2011, Barre has worked hard as a touring and recording artist, often stopping in Buffalo when he is on tour. “We love Buffalo because we love playing at the Sportsmen’s there — we seem to come through the Niagara region on every tour and I always take the guys to one of the few remaining rotating restaurants, they used to be everywhere. We do the tourist things, I take the band around the Falls — not over them (laughs),” Barre noted during a recent phone interview. Performing at clubs was a drastic change for Barre, Jethro Tull had been an established major headliner for most of the time Barre was the group’s guitarist. “I want to play Madison Square Garden again to be totally honest,” Barre said. “If I earned more money, I would have a bigger band, more money, a bigger crew and spend more on production, so it’s frustrating that I can’t do what I want musically. But going back to the clubs made me realize how little guitar I was playing, so I have rediscovered what it’s like to play a lot of guitar and what I can do. In that respect the clubs are great, especially a place like the Sportsmen’s because the people that run it really love music.” Barre’s solo shows feature a healthy dose of Jethro Tull material, including the song “A New Day Yesterday” which was the title cut of one of Joe Bonamassa’s early albums. Bonamassa toured as a support act for Jethro Tull early in his career. “I went to see Joe in concert and wanted to go backstage and say hello and his people wouldn’t let me back. Even so, I admire Joe, he works so hard on everything, and he is really a great player and has carved out his own thing.” Barre has carved out his own thing as well, which is no small feat after being a part of a well-established band for decades, and when asked about whether he misses being in Jethro Tull he says, “Obviously I am doing something different now, but that music is still really important to me. “We were comfortable in Tull for over 40 years, but that can be a bad thing because the music will stagnate. Towards the end of Tull, the ideas were not being put in place. It was getting diluted. Tull has a great fan base, so it is hard to turn away from them, they were great fans to play for and I always wanted it to improve.” Fans of Jethro Tull can experience Martin Barre’s interpretation of the Tull catalogue along with selections from Barre’s solo in an intimate setting. Tickets for the Sept. 30 performance at Buffalo’s Sportsmen’s Tavern start at just $35 and are available through Showclix.com.

www.rochestercitynewspaper.com/rochester/rock-martin-barre-band/Content?oid=8038137ROCK | Martin Barre Band By Roman Divezur The flute wasn't the only instrument fueling legendary English rock band Jethro Tull. Guitarist Martin Barre was behind the riffs for more than four decades before the group broke up in 2014. Barre's playing style is rooted in blues, but includes an amalgam of other genres. Fittingly, his guitar technique on the most iconic of all Tull songs "Aqualung" uses barre chords. Barre and his band perform the classics, along with his own compositions and new songs from the forthcoming album, "Roads Less Traveled." Martin Barre Band performs on Wednesday, September 26, 7:30 p.m. at Jewish Community Center's CenterStage Theatre, 1200 Edgewood Ave. $25-$55. 461-2000. jccrochester.org; martinbarre.com.

I hope the Martin Barre Band has the sense to quickly arrange and play 'Hava Nagilla' at the Rochester JCC. I mean, Tull played 'Girl from Ipanema' in Rio.
