Summary: Mark Wenner and his band The Nighthawks have been performing and recording for over 40 years. He came up as a young man when rock & roll was perceived by many adults as the devil’s music. At a time when Elvis was in the army, Jerry Lee Lewis was banned, and both Buddy Holly and Eddie Cochran had died, radio was giving him Fabian. His response? Venturing out to DC's Howard Theater to see The Motown Review, Otis Redding, and James Brown. Learning to play harp and forming the Nighthawks soon followed.
