Rocking for Leukemia & Lymphoma Society

Led Zeppelin. Van Halen. Metallica. Each legends of rock in their own right, but none executing with the unmitigated musicality and Akin spirit of Night Work.

Night Work consists of attorneys from the DC office of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld. The name Night Work was devised by a broader group of Akin musicians across the firm’s many offices in honor of the firm’s founder, Bob Strauss. Mr. Strauss famously said to a client that “You’ve given us your night work; now can we have your day work?”

Sporting a palatable blend of 70s, 80s and 90s influence, Night Work has taken the music landscape by storm and is ready to deliver another unforgettable evening of your favorite hits and hidden gems. The soaring vocals of Matt Nicely and J.R. Molm, virtuosic dynamism of Steve Kho on keys, infectious groove of Brian Pomper on bass, thrilling command of rhythm by Scott Alberino on drums and rip-roaring edge of Tom McCarthy on guitar create a one-of-a-kind sound that leaves audiences wanting more and other attorneys wondering if, they too, can live out their rockstar ambitions.
