I don't know if someone who likes JT's more hard-rock side would be fond of sweet, sappy, indie melodies...

Definitely, The Crane Wife by The Decemberists would be your best bet. Read my review for further persuasion.

I have seen the recommendation, but I'll chime in to add a voice to the choir
go with The Decemberists
Their album The Crane Wife is A. sounding like Jethro Tull
and B. very good

Beardfish has the occasional JT flare. There is something about them that often puts me in mind of Tull. Maybe the vocal style. Some structure as well.
I've really only recently gotten into Beardfish in the last 6 months or so, and I love them.

No idea of a Modern one, but I know one from the 70's, that surely you don't know.
Black Widow. It's a very unknown prog band. That IMO it's a Prog Folk band rather than Heavy Prog. I recomend you their debut, Sacrifice. It's really really good. It has more of the Stand Up feel than the TAAB, APP, but it's great. If you like Stand Up and This Was, you'll love Sacrifice by Black Widow.
Another 70's band would be Atomic Rooster. But this time their debut. With flute and mix of folk and hard rock.
As you must know Trespass by Genesis has a very Tullish keyboard selection. Trespass is very folky compared to the following ones. I suppose you have it, if not, what you're waiting for?!.

I recommend The Puddle Jumpers. They are like an American version of Tull sans flute. Though I guess since their latest album is listed as 2001, you may not consider that modern. To me anything 1990 and later is modern.
Sometimes Blackmore's Night wanders into Tull territory when they rock out a little. They covered an unlikely Tull song, Rainbow Blues.

I'd say The Decemberists. Although there's no blues, hardly any rock, or prog, they're very similar to JT. Kind of like an indie pop version, I'd say.

You definitely should try the Armenian band Artsruni.
They are basically instrumental and are not blues-oriented at all, but the interplay between solo guitar and flute is pretty much the same.
Think of "Divinities: 12 Dances with God" played by entire Tull band with a truly prog complexity.
I believe Musea issued their album Cruzaid some 5 years ago. Excellent music.

Bacio Della Medusa ventures into Tull territory often with bluesy rock riffs and fiesty flute play, along with occasional acoustic guitar interludes. Really good band.

Huh, i don't think such bands exist :\
Even I'd like to know of progressive folk-rock bands, if any exist now-a-days.
Maybe try Indie stuff?
You might like Neutral Milk Hotel, Okkervil river or Iron & wine...But you'll find little to none progressive elements in them.

^ I love Mostly Autumn, but IMO only the presence of flutes in their music reminds of Jethro Tull.

The closest you can get I would say would be The Decemberists. Their newest album The Crane Wife has alot of prog type of music on it, and all of their stuff is prog-influence for sure. The Crane Wife has some synth solos though, and longer songs.
I like them, and they remind me of J-Tull

Any modern bands that are like Jethro Tull?
