Martin Barre discusses his upcoming solo album 'Roads Less Travelled' and why he believes his music is for everybody
Martin Barre, who is best known for his prolific work as the former guitarist of Jethro Tull through the band's half-a-century career, is all set to hit the road for the North American leg of his massive, sprawling solo tour. With assistance from The Martin Barre Band, the tour kicks off on Wednesday (September 19) Debonair Music Hall in Teaneck, NJ and passes through a host of US venues before Martin and the band head back to the UK in November for the European leg.
The tour comes just a few weeks before the release of Martin's latest solo full-length studio effort 'Roads Less Travelled', which is slated for an October 5 release in the UK (via RSK) and October 12 in the USA (via Cleopatra Records). The album is the 71-year-old guitar virtuoso's sixth solo studio effort, a follow up to 2015's 'Back To Steel'. 'Roads Less Travelled' features 11 original tracks by Martin, which reflect the last 50 years of his esteemed musical career, showcasing his distinctive and instantly recognizable style of playing.
