Hawksley Workman

Show Description

Hawksley Workman is a Canadian rock singer-songwriter who has garnered critical acclaim for his quirky yet accessible blend of cabaret pop and glam rock. Workman has released ten full length albums throughout his career. He is a multi-instrumentalist, playing guitar, drums, bass, keyboards and singing on his records and often switching between those instruments when playing live.

Workman is a prolific artist, usually writing, recording, mastering and releasing entire albums in the span of a few weeks. He explains, "A lot of artists I know they get a year and a half away from a record they've just made it's like... 'Oh... it's terrible I hate that thing,' ya know? When I record [a] record, I never take more than a day per song... so by the time the record is mixed, finished, complete, done... I'm still in a honeymoon with the record..."

His music has been featured on the television shows Scrubs, Falcon Beach, Queer as Folk and Whistler.

Workman produces and engineers much of his own recording, and has produced albums for many other artists as well.

As a Canuck living in NYC, I'll be looking forward to seeing HW in the flesh again. His latest, *Los Manlicious,* rocks out wonderfully, with the range of a David Bowie for the new millennium. Hawksley can handle anything from a Jacques Brel-styled balladry to hard rock, but it's nice to hear him so focused on the latter right now. And if you're listening Hawksley, you'd better play "Smoke Baby," OK?
