Hawksley Workman is not afraid to be strange. After over a decade in the business, this hyper-prolific, perpetually restless creative force continues to push the boundaries of experience and the heights of his successes well outside the comfort zone. In fact, Hawksley Workman's comfort zone is probably not all that comforting to most: it's left of left field and nowhere near the beaten path. Call him a lone wolf, an odd duck or a strange bird; just don't call him ordinary.

Hawksley's touring career has seen him play nearly a thousand shows in over 15 countries. He's headlined prestigious venues like Massey Hall in Toronto and The Olympia in Paris, as well as opening for heroes Morrissey, David Bowie, and The Cure. As an actor Workman has appeared in films such as Score, Hockey a Musical (he also wrote a portion of the music), Youkali Hotel, and Stormy Weather. Beyond his own solo work, Hawksley has written songs for many feted artists including legends Johnny Hallyday and Jane Birkin. www.hawksleyworkman.com
