PLYMOUTH — The Flying Monkey Performance Center presents The Martin Barre Band on Saturday, April 1st at 7:30 p.m. Best known as the lead guitarist for Jethro Tull, Barre has since gained critical and fan praise for his solo projects. Tickets for this concert start at $29.
It’s not that Martin Barre wants to forget Jethro Tull—the group in which he was a member for 43 years—but he’s certainly moved on musically.
“[Jethro Tull music] will always be a part of my work,” Barre says. “But I hope it becomes about 40 percent instead of 60 percent. I will never turn my back on it, though. I’m not so stupid that I don’t know that people come to hear me play so they can hear Tull. But a lot of that music is in me, anyway. That’s not far from home. It will always be there. It’s a great night out,” he said of going to the band’s shows. “The music is for everybody.”
Tickets for Martin Barre Band are $29, and $39 for premier seating. For more information on upcoming shows or to purchase tickets call the box office at 603-536-2551 or go online at www.flyingmonkeyNH.com.
