You know those great Southern rock songs that make you crank up the volume and take your hands off the wheel for some air guitar or dashboard drumming? Quaker City Night Hawks have those songs in spades, except you haven't already heard them a thousand times on the classic rock...

You know those great Southern rock songs that make you crank up the volume and take your hands off the wheel for some air guitar or dashboard drumming? Quaker City Night Hawks have those songs in spades, except you haven't already heard them a thousand times on the classic rock station. Live, the Fort Worth boys are incredibly tight, rhythm section locked in a Texas boogie groove with guitars riffing out irresistible hooks and surprisingly solid vocal harmonies. Guitarist-about-town Glen Farris opens at 5:30 p.m. and QCNH follow at 6:30. As always with Patio Sessions shows, it's free and you can BYOB.
