Night Hawks The Night Hawks are starting to build momentum again after their year off and the loss of guitarist, Jimmy Thackery. The Night Hawks were one of the most popular rock/blues bands on the circuit. They toured over 300 days a year for almost fifteen years. The layoff was mostly due to Thackery and disillusion over a failed record deal with Warner Brothers. The Night Hawks could produce ecstatic live shows, but could never carry that energy over on vinyl. Opening acts such as George Thoroughgood and the Fabulous Thunderbirds that once emulated the Night Hawks have now crossed over the barrier and found record success. Despite attempts by the Night Hawks to have Thackery just play half of the time, Thackery insisted on touring with his own band, the Assassins. Now the Night Hawks are trying a different approach, something they think may help their recording success. They are touring with different vocalists and guitarists and hope to eventually find the one to take them over the barrier. The Night Hawks also have a new album. "The Night Hawks Live in Europe". The Night Hawks will be playing Saturday the 20th at the Rockfish Palace and you never know who'll be there joining them.
