Carl Sentance is a British rock singer who has been the frontman of the Scottish hard rock band Nazareth since 2015.
He has performed several times with DON AIREY (Deep Purple) in Bluesiana and is coming this time with his own band.
Carl Sentance was born on June 28, 1961, in Loughborough, Leicestershire, UK, and formed his first band, LEADING STAR, as a guitarist and singer in 1977.
After participating in several local bands, he replaced John Deverill as the singer in the NWoBHM band PERSIAN RISK.
In 1981, he recorded his first single "Calling For You," followed by the recording of "Ridin High" in 1983.
In 1984, PERSIAN RISK toured the UK with MOTÖRHEAD and appeared on Prime-Time TV on Channel 4's The Tube. A year later, Carl recorded his first PERSIAN RISK album "RISE UP."
At that time, he received an offer from his manager, Smallwood Taylor, to join GEEZER BUTLER (BLACK SABBATH) as the lead singer in his solo project. The collaboration lasted from 1986 to 1988 and produced demo songs, videos, and various bootlegs. Carl left the GEEZER BUTLER band in 1988 to join the Welsh band MONROE.
In 1988, Carl decided to return to Cardiff and joined the band TOK-IO ROSE. Just 2 years later, he decided to move to Florida to form the band GHOST with Welsh ex-UFO and WASTED guitarist Paul Chapman.
Five years later, Carl returned to the UK.
From 1996 to 1999, he sang in various musicals, such as JUDAS in Jesus Christ Superstar and the AMERICAN in Chess. From 1999 to 2002, Carl became the lead singer of the Swiss hard rock band KROKUS, with whom he recorded the album "ROUND 13." In 2004, he then joined the Whole Lotta Metal Theatre Tour for 2 years.
In 2006, Carl teamed up with Deep Purple's keyboardist Don Airey for his solo project "DON AIREY AND FRIENDS" and has since been writing with Don. Albums include "A LIGHT IN THE SKY," "ALL OUT," "KEYED UP," and "ONE OF A KIND."
In 2009, Carl recorded his first solo album MIND DOCTOR! This led him to attempt to reform the original lineup of the band PERSIAN RISK, but at that time, the members were busy with other projects, so Carl assembled a brand new Persian Risk and came out with two great albums: "ONCE A KING" in 2012 and "WHO AM I" in 2014.
In 2015, Carl became the new singer of the legendary rock band NAZARETH, after founding member Dan McCafferty had to retire due to health issues. Recently, Carl has recorded Nazareth's current studio album "TATTOOED ON MY BRAIN" (the songs include "NEVER DANCE WITH THE DEVIL," "CHANGE," "STATE OF EMERGENCY," "SILENT SYMPHONY," and "DON'T THROW YOUR LOVE AWAY"). Carl is currently touring the world.
