About
Started by two brothers, The Nights & Weekends is both a collaborative music group as well as a creative outlet for diverse forms of artistic expression.
Blending original music from a variety of writers and musicians, The Nights & Weekends creates music that is both relatable as well as inspiring. Musical influences include Tophouse, Twenty One Pilots, Ben Rector, PEABOD, AJR, and Billy Joel. The show is filled with laughter, emotion, and a thread of authenticity holding it all together. Because sometimes the best creativity happens after hours—during the nights and weekends.
