Former Jethro Tull guitarist Martin Barre and his solo band are continuing their 2023 U.S. tour with a new show, “A Brief History of Tull,” at the Sellersville Theater on Sunday.
The show is a two-hour extravaganza featuring Tull songs only – none of Barre’s solo music this time around. It will consist entirely of deep cuts, rarities, and songs he was particularly involved with from Tull’s iconic catalog of songs.
Barre’s dynamic, expressive, explosive guitar playing was paramount to Jethro Tull’s live and recorded sound, starting with his debut on the band’s classic second album, “Stand Up,” right up to his departure from the band in 2011.
His unique sound and style contributed enormously to their success, which includes several chart-topping albums, 11 gold and five platinum albums, a Grammy Award for the album “Crest of a Knave” in 1988, and album sales exceeding 60 million units.
Barre’s band’s original music harkens back to the earthy blues-rock of Tull’s earliest days. His current live set mixes in some early and rare Tull classics performed mostly in a heavy blues-rock vein.
