About this Event
The Nighthawks are:
Mark Wenner: Vocals, Harmonica
Mark Stutso: Drums, Vocals
Sol Roots: Bass
Zach Sweeney: Guitar, Vocals
The Nighthawks was an idea in Mark Wenner's brain long before he was able to implement it. The musical product of pre-1958 radio in Washington, D.C., he did not know there were rules against mixing blues, R&B, honky-tonk country, doo-wop, gospel and rockabilly into one delicious stew.
