Guitarist extraordinaire, Martin Barre is coming to Edmond Town Hall in Newtown on April 13th. Martin Barre is best known for his four plus decades of work as lead guitarist of Jethro Tull. Martin also is the leader of his own group, the Martin Barre Band since the 1990s. Jethro Tull is a Grammy award winning English rock/folk band that has sold over 60 million records worldwide.

His signature solo on the 1971 Jethro Tull standard “Aqualung” was voted by the readers of several guitar magazines as on of the best rock guitar solos in rock history. On this tour, the music of Jethro Tull and Martin’s solo work will be unplugged with no electric guitars. This will be a unique musical experience not to be missed.

If you have not been to the Edmond Town Hall, you are in for a fine evening of music. The theater is housed in a 1930s building, has great viewing from all seats, and the acoustics are excellent. There is plenty of free parking.
