"Truly the work
of a man thrilled by music" wrote CMJ.
A Canadian currently residing in Paris, Hawksley has a three octave range,
is a multi-instrumentalist, producer, eccentric, daring, enchanting, flamboyant,
diva-esque pop chameleon whose irreverent Bacharach-esque arrangement
style combined with insinuating vocal results in a compelling artist ...
oh and he's an expert tap dancer too !
His albums For Him And The Girls and Last Night We Were The Delicious
Wolves have drawn Bowie, Jeff Buckley, Beck and Nick Cave comparisons,
as he poetically fuses the confessional and the abstract, sounding both
sentimental and lewd, exploring the push and pulls of rejection and addiction.
The London Evening Standard wrote "the most mesmerising performer i've
seen in ages. A Revelation. If you only see one man this year make sure
it's Hawksley Workman".
Time Out added "capable of flights of wild vocal bravado and moments of
skin prickling beauty"
Whilst Metro stated "his songs are wonderful jumping bundles of oddness,
bouncing between gothic cabaret, glammed-up folk and showtime ballads...
he's rather extraordinary".
He has an astonishing reputation for his live performances and calls in
at The Glee before playing Glastonbury and The Fleadh.
support comes from
the new line-up of Micky Greaney Band who make this a sublime and invigorating
bill
