This program includes Bands that have named themselves after a Country, a City, or a Place.

The Harborlites changed their named to Jay and The Americans. While wanting to appear more European, the Toys chose to rename themselves and be known as Berlin. The hard rock Scottish group Nazareth took its name from a place in Pennsylvania and eleven Grammy awards winner, Manhattan Transfer opted to be named  after a novel by John Dos Passos.  The traditional song, The Irish Rover was adopted by a Canadian group to be then recognized as the Irish Rovers. The members of one of Australia’s most successful bands named themselves after the small Victorian town of Little River.
