J
J hasn't actually ever played with the band. He showed up for a couple of
rehearsals in the early '90s and hasn't been seen since. We suspect he may be
doing time for tax fraud |

Thom Krane
A founding member of the band, Thom has been playing drums since before Fred Flintstone
was shaving. Since starting with 'Steel River' in the 70's, he has continued to hone
his craft in a succession of professional bands to his current 15 year stint as a Nighthawk.
His parents were no doubt easygoing deaf people.

Jim Knight
Along with Thom, founded J & the Nighthawks back in the early 90's.
He refuses to admit how many years of roadwork he has endured but can name virtually
every bar in Ontario. Jim provides lead and harmony vocals and lead guitar for the band.

Rick Saunders
After 10 year as a Nighthawk, we can stop referring to Rick as 'the new guy'. He would
like to play in Eric Clapton's band but will continue to honour his present commitments.
At this time, he is no longer returning Eric's calls. Rick brings his signature bluesy
vocals and guitar to the mix. |
Jack Patriarche
Our newest member, Jack rounds out the band with his excellent bass chops (played on
a vintage Hofner bass) and harmony vocals. He is not saying how he obtained the bass but
does seem to be ducking phone calls from some British guy named Paul. |
