THE COLORADO NIGHTHAWKS
There have been a lot of bands (and sports teams) called
"Nighthawks, and this is another one. But we are the first Colorado
Nighthawks, trying to capture the feel of Coon-Sanders, McKinney's
Cotton Pickers and other bands of the Roaring 20's.
Our plan...
1. Build a great book** of tunes from the 20's and 30's, that
musicians love to play, and older people love to hear.
(Actually some young people love them too!)
2. Hand out CD's which demonstrate the music and the sound
you want. (These are for study purposes, of course.) Click here
for
an analysis of the music.
3. Find a good place to play. Lately, we've been
playing at the Townhouse Lounge.
4. Put a group of GREAT musicians together on a Sunday
Afternoon and let them play! Here are some
pictures of our Sunday Afternoons.
5. Start recording and selling CDs, teeshirts (with the
"Nighthawks" on them), etc.
6. Start traveling, playing Festivals in Colorado and all
over the world.
**Our book is currently printed with Band-in-a-Box, and you can read about that
program here. Here is a list of our
tunes, but it is expanding constantly.
