About

Manfred Mann's Earth Band is a British rock band founded in 1971 by South African keyboardist Manfred Mann, following the dissolution of his jazz-rock outfit Chapter Three. Blending progressive rock with a synthesizer-driven sound, the band scored a transatlantic number-one hit with their cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Blinded by the Light" in 1977. Now in their sixth decade, the current lineup - anchored by Mann, guitarist Mick Rogers and vocalist Robert Hart - continues to tour extensively across Europe.
