Martin Barre, the former guitarist of Jethro Tull will be playing The Kent Stage on June 7th.  He will be playing plenty of deep cuts, rarities and some hits that he was a part of during his time in Tull.

​

One of the top rock guitarists ever to walk the planet, Martin’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, eleven gold and five platinum albums, a Grammy Award for Crest of a Knave in 1988, and album sales exceeding 60 million units. 

 

Tull’s music continues to be played worldwide, representing an important part of classic rock history that remains noteworthy today.

 

Martin is on a short list of amazing, one-of-a-kind, original, influential, rock ‘n’ roll guitarists that have fortunately graced our presence over the years.
