Nazareth
Nazareth are a hard rock band from Dunfermline, Scotland, formed in 1968 from the remnants of a local group called the Shadettes. The classic lineup featured vocalist Dan McCafferty, guitarist Manny Charlton, and bassist Pete Agnew, and the band built a following across the UK and Europe through the 1970s and beyond. They mix heavy blues-influenced riffs with melodic rock, and their catalog ranges from aggressive rockers to slower, more soulful material.
