The musical product of pre-1958 radio in Washington, D.C., he did not know there were rules against mixing blues, R&B, honky-tonk country, doo-wop, gospel and rockabilly into one delicious stew.In 1972, Mark, then 23, returned to his hometown after a New York City band apprenticeship eager to start a real, work-every-night band based on American roots music. He found a receptive local scene. Washington has long been a musical melting-pot of the kind that made Memphis the source point for the evolution of American music in the second half of the 20th century. It just never had a Stax or Sun record label to tell the world. As the city exploded with an influx of people from all the surrounding states during the Great Depression and World War II, Washington became a hotbed of musical cross-fertilization. When Bill Haley first brought his wacky Pennsylvania mix of hillbilly music and rhythm and blues to D.C. in 1952, people got it. And white kids like Mark found the Howard Theater – now recently restored and part of the historic top tier of the Chitlin' Circuit that included Baltimore’s Royal, Chicago’s Regal and New York’s Apollo – just a 25-cent bus ride away from the suburbs.AgendaDoors Open an hour before showtime - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/columbia/the-nighthawks/100001996448772020 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Entertainment, Music, Art, Kids, Theatre - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 30.17, max: 30.17, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Columbia - **state**: MD - **country**: United States - **location**: The Collective - Encore - **lat**: 39.2155315 - **long**: -76.8560866 - **full address**: The Collective - Encore, 10221 Wincopin Circle, Columbia, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Nighthawks - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/99060062a62c6569ad4fda30bda9fdd39e02624d4a081824a3bc72bb99f2a7a9-rimg-w700-h350-dc080808-gmir.jpg?v=1786070886 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Nighthawks being held? - **A:** The Nighthawks takes place on Wed, 11 Nov, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Wed, 11 Nov, 2026 at 10:30 pm at The Collective - Encore, 10221 Wincopin Circle, Columbia, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing The Nighthawks? - **A:** The Nighthawks is organized by The Collective. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at The Collective's events? - **A:** Attendees have given The Collective a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
