We lost another great one today! Lead singer of the Smithereens, a good friend of the Hawk, and an all-around great guy, Pat DiNizio passed away this morning at the age of 62.

He had been battling various health issues over the years but was said to be excited to getting back to touring in 2018.

I found this video today of Pat DiNizio performing at our "Acoustic Christmas" show at the Headliner back in 2009:

Check out Pete LePore, Race, and the Hawk Flight Crew singing "I Want to Hold Your Hand" with Pat DiNizio:

Our condolences go out to Pat's family and friends.
