The Nighthawks:
Live at The State Theater
with Special Guest: Hubert Sumlin

 

The Nighthawks on HBO's The Wire - Between DVD "box set" sales, rentals and re-runs (it's now on BET and HBO), you can hear the band performing Pete's tune Blind Love in the final episode of Season One. Also, the first episode of Season Two features the Hawks performing "live" during a scene in a Baltimore long shoreman's bar. The band, seen setting up during the story, cuts loose with a version of Sixteen Tons (from Rock this House) - that really rocks the house.

New Studio Release from Nighthawks - American Landscape

Five years ago, The Nighthawks, one of the longest running, most consistent American Roots bands of their generation, made two major personnel changes. Paul Bell took over the guitar slot and Johnny Castle snatched the bass position after 30 plus years without a change.

These two were no strangers to The Nighthawks, having played in various side combinations around the band over the past several decades. Pete Ragusa, the Hawks' drummer since 1974, did several side projects with Paul and Johnny, including a band with Catfish Hodge. Johnny played on Mark Wenner's first solo album as a member of Switchblade in 1984. The infusuion of fresh energy, ideas, and enthusiasm has made this combination the very best Nighthawks yet.
