The Tull Project ~ The Definitive Jethro Tull Tribute

About this event

Rather than imitation or nostalgia, the Tull Project focuses on musical substance—dynamic arrangements, tonal detail, rhythmic drive, and expressive storytelling. Drawing primarily from Tull’s most influential decade (1968–1978), the band explores the breadth and depth of the catalog, from the early blues-rock foundations of This Was and Stand Up through the muscular, socially incisive rock of Aqualung and the brilliant prog rock of Thick as a Brick, to the pastoral, folk-inflected works of Songs from the Wood and Heavy Horses. At the heart of The Tull Project is flutist, vocalist, and bandleader Sean Grace—a highly accomplished musician and multi-instrumentalist whose career bridges classical, Celtic folk traditions, jazz, and progressive rock. That rare intersection makes him a natural and authentic interpreter of the music of Jethro Tull. The band features a lineup of seasoned professional musicians drawn from the Philadelphia music scene, each with deep experience in rock, jazz, and acoustic traditions. With Patrick Crowling on lead guitar, Brendan Cassidy on bass, Jack Firneno on drums, and John Hildenbrand on keyboards, the group shares a deep respect for the material and a strong command of the catalog, delivering performances that are powerful, nuanced, and high-energy.
