Music is my life. It hasn’t always been what I’ve done, but its always been the backbone of my experiences. I hear a song, and I don’t just hear the song, I feel where I was, the time it reminds me of and the memories that it brings. Life makes little sense to me without music. It has been something that is constant in a world filled with change.

I have been day dreaming about my own involvement in music since I was a child. It was something that I was always attracted to, but nothing I ever thought I had within me. I used to think that I knew who I was. I told myself many things about who I was and I believed them. One of those things was that I didn’t have any musical talent and it would always be a dream.

In 2010, I sought help for my drug addiction. When my mind cleared I began challenging the many things that I was convinced about myself. I bought a guitar and taught myself the basics. I thought why not try some singing lessons. Next thing I knew I was in a studio recording songs that I had written. Watching my music come to life has been the most satisfying thing I have ever experienced.

That’s what music is for me. Its my way of showing myself that I can be anything that I want. It’s shown me that if I let go of what I believe about myself, that I might just be something more. With music I’m outside myself and it makes me believe that anything is possible. It is my outlet of expression, freedom and authenticity.

For the past four years Martin has toured the world with his own band to play the "classic" music from the Jethro Tull catalogue, but also many new tracks written by Martin including his new album, BACK TO STEEL.

For 43 years Martin Barre was the renowned guitarist of Jethro Tull, and his role in the band cannot be overestimated. Bruce Eder wrote on allmusic.com, “His playing has provided much of the energy that allows the band to soar on record and in concert.”

His unique sound and style contributed enormously to their success, which includes several chart topping albums, eleven gold and five platinum albums, a Grammy Award for CREST OF A KNAVE in 1988, and album sales exceeding 60 million units. Tull continues to be played worldwide, representing an important part of classic rock history.

Martin’s guitar playing has earned him respect and recognition; he’s been voted among the best ever in the USA and in the UK for his playing on “Aqualung.” Beyond numerous Jethro Tull albums, Martin has plied those award-winning chops with many other distinguished artists, including Paul McCartney, Phil Collins, Gary Moore, Joe Bonamassa and Chris Thompson. He has shared a stage with such legends as Jimi Hendrix, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin.

Redoubtable drummer George Lindsay, alongside super songwriter and bass player Alan Thomson form the core of Martin’s accomplished band, with vocals performed by the talented and distinctive Dan Crisp. All members are committed to giving the Tull fans and a broader audience the chance to hear tracks not performed for many years with a few surprises along the way.

Baptist de Pape bio:



Baptist de Pape is a spiritual explorer, author, and filmmaker.  He attended the Tilburg Law School in The Netherlands, but after graduation - and with a lucrative job offer before him - he underwent a spiritual awakening that caused him to abandon the strictly practical world of law.  De Pape explores the world of the heart and what it means to live from that space, rather than living merely from the head.  This change of emphasis led directly to some astonishingly synchronistic events.  From his spiritual awakening blossomed the concept of a movie in which he would interview the leading spiritual teachers, authors and scientists of today.  Baptist went on to film and become good friends with many of his interviewees and was generously helped by Gary Zukav, Eckhart Tolle, Maya Angelou, Isabel Allende and others.

MUSICAL GUEST GRANT MALOY SMITH

Grant was born in Jacksonville, Florida about 60 miles from the Georgia state line. His dad was a pilot in the US Navy, so the family moved around a lot during Grant’s childhood, living in Corpus Christi, Texas, San Diego California, Pensacola Florida, and finally up to Rhode Island.

Grant’s maternal grandmother was from the mountains of Kentucky, and even though she moved eastward, she loved that bluegrass sound for the rest of her life, and she encouraged Grant to appreciate it. She gave Grant a real gift – an appreciation for traditional American music.

Like most kids his age, Grant became infatuated with the Beatles, and he taught himself to play the guitar. But he was always good with a pen or paintbrush, and he seemed destined to become an artist one day. So after high school he dutifully headed off to art school. But music had already taken took hold of him, and he left art school to pursue it.

Despite the fact that his early work was primarily in the pop/rock genres, there was always something “country” about his songs. They all told stories, and painted pictures with words. After hearing from more than one friend and colleague that he should give American Roots a try, he finally gave it a try, and never looked back.

“It all got synthesized in my heart and mind during those years, and it changed me forever. I will never go back to writing songs like I did before. Don’t get me wrong: they were good songs, I hope, but they didn’t express everything that I was trying to capture. There is an honesty and immediacy to the kind of songs I am writing now. Sometimes they are painfully honest, but that’s what makes them connect with people: honesty.”

Americana is a celebration of American roots music, a unique blend of Bluegrass, Country, Pop, Rock and Folk music. The reviews are coming in, and they are nothing short of exuberant, and filled with high praise for Yellow Trailer.

This breakthrough album is available for digital downloads from iTunes, CDbaby.com, Amazon, and other places … and in physical CDs (and downloads)

In his next album, Dust Bowl, Grant picks up where Yellow Trailer left off, and carries on down that same road, but with new twists and turns. According to the songwriter, “You can’t keep writing the same record over and over again; you have to reach beyond where you think you can go, and challenge yourself. So that’s what I am doing. The next album uses the great environmental and economic disaster of the mid 1930s as its context. It’s not a documentary, but the songs are set against that as the backdrop. That place and time is very special to me. The people are real, and what they went through was incredible.”

“I was drawn to this era because of Woody Guthrie, who captured so much of this time in his music, since he lived that time. For me the most interesting aspect of the Dust Bowl is the great migration of southerners and mid-westerners westward, to places like Bakersfield, California. They brought their traditional instruments and roots songs and sensibility with them, spreading my kind of music nationwide.”

“The most fun I have had on Dust Bowl so far are all of the collaborations with other artists. So far the list includes finger style acoustic guitar master Peter Janson, and Jody Quine, a Vancouver-based singer/songwriter. Guest appearances by several other Grammy nominated artists including flautist and world musician Wouter Kellerman of South Africa, and amazing New Age Indian composer and arranger Ricky Kej.”
