The historical anthems of the British will once again sound in Thessaloniki and Athens, making us look forward to the two very big concerts in September.
Hailing from Blackpool, England, Jethro Tull began their musical journey in the late 60s. Today, with 60 million records sold worldwide, more than 21 albums including 11 gold and 5 platinum and with more than 3,000 live performances in 40 countries, Jethro Tull has been described as one of the most important and eccentric progressive rock bands of the 20th century. century.
Taking center stage is the iconic figure of Ian Anderson, who takes on the role of group leader. With an artistic intelligence that stood out from the very first steps of the band, Anderson dares to put the flute as a key instrument in the Jethro Tull machine, making it at the same time a trademark of the band.
In their first recording years, their blues debut emerges This Was (1968), which succeeds Stand Up (1969), but also Benefit (1970), the precursor record that prepares us for their magnum opus, Aqualung (1971). Words are unnecessary for this masterpiece which is considered one of the most important rock releases of all time.
Progressive rock, proud of its worthy children, finds once and for all in Locomotive Breath and Hymn 43 the hymns that will be sung by thousands of fans worldwide. Through a musical journey of 5 decades, Jethro Tull’s sound traveled from blues and jazz, progressive and orthodox rock, through their folk soundscapes.
Almost 2 decades of recording silence passed, until this year’s triumphant return of Jethro Tull with The Zealot Gene, which confirmed that the band continues to hold aloft the Holy Grail of rock, watering us with addictive melodies and excellent lyrics.
The band adored by Steve Harris and Bruce Dickinson, Eddie Vedder, Nick Cave, John Myung, Marcus Siepen and Joe Bonamassa, is coming to Thessaloniki and Athens for two historic concert moments that we have been waiting for years.
Thursday, September 22 at the Lazarist Monastery and Friday, September 23 at the Melina Merkouri Rock Theater, the Ian Anderson and his great company will accompany us on 2 unique rock journeys with the best moments of Jethro Tull as a background.
