Classic Rock lives at Grey Eagle Resort & Casino with the return of Nazareth! Without a doubt the biggest rock band to emerge from Scotland, they were the pioneers who took Scottish Rock, international and paved the way for the many other great Scottish bands that came later…. the likes of Big Country, Simple Minds etc.
From 1971 until now Nazareth have recorded 23 studio albums, earning them platinum, gold and silver awards throughout the world, with 3 platinum and 8 gold albums coming from Canada alone. Their latest release, “Rock’n’Roll Telephone” was described by one music press critic simply as “one more masterpiece”.
The lineup today consists of Jimmy Murrison (the longest serving Naz guitarist in the band’s history), Lee Agnew (drummer since Darrell Sweet’s death in 1999), Pete Agnew (founding member) and new singer Carl Sentance who joined the band in 2015 after Dan McCafferty’s retirement.
Over the last five decades Nazareth have played thousands of concerts worldwide ranging from rock clubs to stadiums and when asked if he could remember playing in a certain town, Pete answered “If it’s got electricity we’ve played it”.
Now, Nazareth, who remain one of the world’s premier rock bands will be using some electricity in YYC!
