Martin Barre will be performing classic Jethro Tull at the La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts on Saturday, February 26th at 8 pm.
At the center of Jethro Tull’s unique sound is guitarist Martin Barre, who is renowned for his formidable mastery of historic riffs, power chords, and soaring melodic solos.
Martin is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the release of Jethro Tull’s iconic and legendary album Aqualung with a worldwide tour. He brings a spectacular show playing the album in its entirety with his touring band The Martin Barre Band. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sit back and relive this beloved album, being played in full and in sequence for the first time!
Martin states, “Aqualung was the album that defined Tull. Sumptuous melodies, big dynamics, and power riffs galore. Acoustic met electric…and it all worked.”
Martin Barre was Jethro Tull’s guitarist for over 43 years. His sound and playing was a major factor in their success. Album sales have exceeded 60 million units and they continue to be played worldwide, representing an important part of classic rock history.
Martin’s guitar playing has earned him a high level of respect and recognition. His solos were voted 25th best solo ever in the USA and 20th best solo ever in the UK for his playing on Aqualung. His playing on the album Crest of a Knave earned him a Grammy award in 1989.
As well as numerous Jethro Tull albums, Martin has worked with many other artists including Paul McCartney, Phil Collins, Gary Moore, Joe Bonamassa, and Chris Thompson and has shared the stage with such legends as Jimi Hendrix, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin.
