IAN ANDERSON Presents JETHRO TULL On Tour In October

Ian Anderson is presenting Jethro Tull this October on the West Coast in Las Vegas, San Diego, Riverside, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Modesto, Folsom, San Jose, Portland, Spokane, and Seattle.

In addition there will be a new Steven Wilson remix of Jethro Tull’s second album, Stand Up on November 18th.

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 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 rewritten lyrics to better tell the tale.

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.
