Pete Ragusa has decided to leave The Nighthawks after a fabulous 35-year run. There is no doubt that Pete’s departure is a big loss and he will be missed. The Nighthawks are incredibly lucky to have gained Mark Stutso – a great drummer and a great vocalist (both lead and harmony) and former drummer with Jimmy Thackery and the Drivers (for 18 years). Mark has been rehearsing and playing with the band since Pete’s departure and The Nighthawks are taking full advantage of this change to take the band to a new level.
