The Nighthawks

The Nighthawks enter the new year with two new members: Zach Sweeney on guitar and Sol Roots on bass. Drummer Mark Stutso’s still on board with his singing and songwriting that make him an audience favorite. And founder, lead singer and harpmaster Mark Wenner is still at the helm. With some 30 recordings and local and international awards to their credit, The Nighthawks are still churning out new material while drawing on more than four decades’ worth of signature tunes for their legendary live shows.

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.
