Today we are finally able to present to you an official Black Sheep band page for the legendary Springfield solo musician known as “Nighthawk.” If you live in Springfield or have ever been to a show at Black Sheep chances are you have met Nighthawk playing guitar loops outside with his seven-string guitar and backpack/mini-amp combination. You can check out the brand new Nighthawk band page right here. On the page you can read up a little more about Nighthawk, and stream his hit single “Lesbian Dragon.” Nighthawk also appears to have two live shows coming up scheduled at Black Sheep. The first is the Cooshit “SuperDopeDank Show” happening on Friday, February 13th. The second is a show happening on Friday, February 27th which we will be officially announcing very soon.
