Description

The Nighthawks have been around for 50 years, but they make their Cult Classic Brewing debut on Friday January 9, 2026 at 8PM, bringing more than five decades of genre-crossing energy. Led by founder Mark Wenner on vocals and harmonica, the Nighthawks deliver a dynamic mix of Blues, R&B, Honky-Tonk Country, Doo-Wop, Gospel, and Rockabilly. Come sit in with the band as they continue their celebrated journey. 

Since its inception in 1972, The Nighthawks has embodied the musical vision of founder Mark Wenner, defying genre boundaries to create a distinctive blend of blues, R&B, country, gospel, and rockabilly. Rooted in the vibrant musical tradition of Washington, D.C., the band has evolved over the years, opening doors for fellow musicians and earning accolades such as the Blues Music Award for their acoustic album Last Train to Bluesville.  Led by Wenner alongside seasoned musicians like Johnny Castle and Mark Stutso, The Nighthawks continue to captivate audiences with their rich tapestry of sound, honoring their four-decade journey and inviting listeners to join in the celebration of their enduring musical legacy.

The Todd Smith Band will open the show at 7pm.
