Ian Anderson comes to the Ravinia Festival to perform Jethro Tull’s definitive prog-rock album, Thick as a Brick, plus his own follow-up, Thick as a Brick 2.  Tickets for the July 22nd performance start at $15 on Goldstar (75% off!).  This tour will feature a theatrical production with video and additional musicians, including Ian’s band: bassist David Goodier, keyboardist John O’Hara, drummer Scott Hammond, and wunderkind guitarist Florian Opahle.  British singer and actor Ryan O’Donnell was chosen for his ability to perform vocals as they sounded on the original Thick as a Brick album. Thick as a Brick 2 revisits the first album’s child-poet character Gerald Bostock 40 years later as an adult, proposing different scenarios for the paths he may have taken in life: greedy banker, ordinary shopkeeper, soldier, beggar or evangelical preacher.
