Soul Power & Love
Soul music meets the psychedelic rock from the summer of love: this is where the peculiar sound of The Nighthawks is born.
Conceived and lead by drummer Marco Betti, his one-of-a-kind power trio is a true live music machine, built around the voice and guitar of frontman Stefano Della Grotta and the warm sound of Francesco Palmisano’s hammond organ. It fuels up each and every night from the passion of the stage, to deliver a blow of ecstasy and vital force.
I was always fascinated by the creative ferment that characterized the second half of the Sixties in the US as perfectly embodied by the music from those years: the irresistible groove of Stax and Motown soul music and the lysergic freedom of Californian rock from those years have been a constant inspiration for me.
