Here's more information on the west coast tour JETHRO TULL Written and
Performed by Ian Anderson.
Ian celebrates the life and times of English agriculturalist Jethro
Tull with a narrative set in the near future. The show presents some
of the best known songs from the repertoire of the band Jethro Tull.
In JETHRO TULL, Ian touches on topical issues including including
climate change, intensive food production and population growth. New
material specially written for this show includes "Prosperous
Pasture," "Fruits Of Frankenfield," "And The World Feeds Me," "Stick,
Twist, Bust," and "The Turnstile Gate."
JETHRO TULL features amongst many Tull favorites "Heavy Horses," "Farm
On The Freeway," "Songs From The Wood," "Aqualung," "Living In The
Past," "Wind-Up," "The Witch's Promise" and "Locomotive Breath"
including STAND UP's "A New Day Yesterday."
Some songs will have slightly re-written lyrics to better tell the tale.
The show has already played in the UK, Italy, Spain, Russia, Brazil,
Argentina and the US to widely encouraging reviews. Chicago Concert
Reviews' Andy Argyrakis notes the two distinctive "but satisfying
ways" to view JETHRO TULL, accept it at its highly conceptual face
value, as a multi-media biography of the real Jethro Tull, a British
agriculturist and inventor, but uploaded into a new context of
contemporary issues such as global warming, food production and
population growth" and to "simply enjoy it as a characteristically
exceptional Tull concert" with "some choice rarities and lesser-known
material -- as well as some solid new songs."
Ian is accompanied by David Goodier (bass), John O'Hara (keyboards),
Florian Opahle (guitar), Scott Hammond (drums) and surprise virtual
guests on screen including Ryan O'Donnell who shared the stage with
Ian in recent tours for HOMO ERRATICUS and THICK AS A BRICK and
Icelandic singer/violinist/actress Unnur Birna Björnsdóttir who
appears on screen throughout the show.
