About Jethro Tull

Ian Scott Anderson (born 10 August 1947) is a British musician best known as the lead vocalist, flautist, and acoustic guitarist of the British rock band Jethro Tull, with whom he has been the only constant member since the band's founding in 1967. A multi-instrumentalist, Anderson also plays harmonica, mandolin, bouzouki, balalaika, saxophone and a variety of whistles. Born in Dunfermline, Scotland to a Scottish father and English mother, Anderson was raised in Edinburgh before moving to Blackpool, England with his family at age 12. Anderson formed The Blades in 1963 while still in school, a soul and blues band that eventually evolved into Jethro Tull by 1967. Anderson initially played electric guitar, however soon abandoned the instrument in favour of the flute, which would become his signature instrument and a defining component of Jethro Tull's sound.
