The Nighthawks
County Cable Montgomery's Susan Kenedy introduces us to the Nighthawks, a homegrown legendary blues and rock band that has been rocking for more than40 years.
Since 1972, the Nighthawks have toured the world and have played in venues of all sizes and to audiences of all ages. Mark Wenner, who attended Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School, is the lone remaining original band member. He talked to Made in Montgomery about the band’s history and its continued base in Montgomery County. He also spent time with two of the band’s longest-running followers—both of whom are now members of the Montgomery County Council—Marc Elrich and George Leventhal.
