Our first show!
Okay, so it wasn’t our first show. But it was our first show with our new sound system! We look forward to a lot more opportunities…
Live acoustic music from the Inland Northwest
Songs for the hour after dusk.
The Nightjars blend our own compositions with covers of songs we love, drawing on traditional Irish music, Delta Blues, American Folk and ancient African rhythms.
About us
It took us fifteen years to find our sound.
The Nightjars are a group of friends who discovered, a little later than most, that making music together was what we were meant to do. Each member of the band brings a different background and passion to the stage, and the result is a sound that is hard to pin down and easy to love.
You will find us playing festivals, community events, private gatherings and anywhere around the Inland Northwest that wants good acoustic music and a warm room.
Why we play
Our why
Our why
We believe that everyone on earth has been bestowed with gifts and talents, and it is through the sharing of those talents that we can fully realize our purpose in life.
It is never too late to find and share your talents. It took us 15 years to find ours. Join us on our journey of discovery, and let us help you find yours.
The music
Our own songs, and the ones we love.
We blend original compositions with covers, and every song carries a little of where each of us comes from. We hope you will enjoy our music!
