Known for his gritty, blue-collar approach and marathon live shows, Thackery was for many years part of The Nighthawks. The Nighthawks were known as one of the hardest-working blues bar bands in North America.[citation needed] Since the late 1980s, Thackery has been touring under his own name, and has found a wide audience. His hard-edged, tough-as-nails approach to guitar playing and his trio's driving rhythm section holds appeal for fans of both traditional blues and roots rock.
These are photos from concerts where Jimmy Thackery and the Drivers played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
