Dieter "D-TAR" Sladko    (guitar, vocals)

... is the "musical conscience" of the band (Kapellmeischda ;) and along with Achim and Dirk, Dieter is one of the original founders of NightHawk.

Born and raised in Thuringia/ East Germany, he now happily labels himself a "Saarländer."

His musical roots run deep in Blues, Soul, Jazz, Bossa Nova, and Rock´n´Roll... Country music was an afterthought, but it still captures all Dieter's musical talent and attention.
