New 2CD live album release by Martin Barre, the acclaimed guitarist and former member of Jethro Tull for over four decades
In 2012 he recorded several solo albums and began touring as a solo artist in Europe and the USA with his own band. Martin’s approach to live performances has seen him perform as an acoustic trio with Dan Crisp (vocals, guitar) and Alan Thomson (bass, guitar) and as an electric band with Terl Bryant also joining on drums, with both incarnations meeting with praise from both fans and critics.
This new album features a wonderful performance by Martin’s acoustic band recorded on 19 April 2025 at The Center For The Arts, Homer, New York and a marvellous set by his electric band recorded at the Woodstock Forever Festival in Germany in August 2024.
Both performances feature Martin’s solo work and Jethro Tull classics. ‘The Acoustic Trio And The Electric Quartet Live In USA And Europe’ is a fine collection of the many facets of a fine musician and his band.
