Hawksley Workman is a Canadian rock singer-songwriter who has garnered critical acclaim for his blend of cabaret pop and glam rock. Workman has released eleven 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, Being Human, Falcon Beach, Queer as Folk and Whistler.
Workman produces and engineers much of his own recording, and has produced albums for other artists as well.

[requested] Lyrics: In your underclothes You went out for a smoke I call you in Just before the storm begins Your last breath of smoke You let out in the room It makes a cloud Like the greyist Perfect plume Smoke baby, smoke baby More alcohol baby Cocaine in Montreal And black out on a plane baby An early flight will leave And on it will be me, yeah I'll be half asleep And you'll get up at three wholl give you time to cry wholl give you time to find yourself Casual as a light Flickers before it's night Sadness comes And the daylight turns and runs As the sun is setting you'll be betting I'll be getting through I'll find a payphone baby Take some time to talk to you Smoke baby, smoke baby More alcohol baby Cocaine in Mo...

Hawksley Workman - The Sweetest Thing There Is Lyrics: And how is it you were once mine? Like red bled out of darkening skies You were never satisfied with me No, you were never satisfied Everytime you're sure That you don't come on anymore Lying on the floor Hardwood that you don't walk on anymore Oh the crying shame That you don't come home anymore Anymore, anymore You are the sweestest thing Left in my suffering You are the sweetest thing there is. I do not own any of this. This is for entertainment only.

The gig was him playing drums for John Southworth. Fast forward almost 20 years and Workman is back in CBC Music's Studio 211. But, more amazingly he assembled a band made up of some of those same session musicians we had talked about almost twenty years earlier. Workman's regular band wasn't available for the First Play Live date and so he decided to fulfill a dream and build a dream band. That band consisted of Hugh Marsh on violin, George Koller on bass and Jonathan Goldsmith on piano. Together this...

Featuring can’t-miss performances of old favourite tunes and the latest tracks from his 15th album, Old Cheetah, in this episode of Backstage Pass.
Mounties is a Canadian "supergroup" (in a quaint, Canadian sort of way) consisting of Hawksley Workman, Ryan Dahle (of Limblifter), and Steve Bays (of Hot Hot Heat). After releasing the single and accompanying video "Headphones" in January 2013 -- announcing the track and the existence of the band itself via an out-of-nowhere tweet from Hawksley -- the band eventually released their debut LP, Thrash Rock Legacy, in March 2014. The release -- an album filled with straight-ahead rock tunes which somehow still manage to weave in different musical directions throughout -- coincided with a national tour, including a memorable stop at JunoFest 2014 in Winnipeg. This fall, they crossed Canada once again, and once again visited our home base of Winnipeg as support for Phantogram. I got the chanc...

Alberta's Ghostkeeper plays a tune in a Calgary shop window. Hayden drops into Toronto Studio 211 to perform 2 fan favourites "Blurry Nights" and "Should Have Been Watching You". And Grant Lawrence makes another stop on his cross-Canada Beetle roadtrip to visit Hawksley Workman in Ottawa.
Mounties (the band) is often called a Canadian indie supergroup because it's made up of an all-star lineup from the Canuck rock 'n' roll landscape: Steve Bays (from Hot Hot Heat), Ryan Dahle (from Age of Electric and Limblifter) and solo rocker Hawksley Workman. The night I hung out with Steve and Hawksley in Steve's SUV, the guys told me that all Mounties tracks begin with a box of wine and a jam session. (How awesome does that sound?) Steve and Hawksley were very talkative and it was hard to get them to stay on point once they started on a topic. What's the best (and worst) part of working with other successful and established musicians? Which other supergroup didn't work for Hawksley and Steve (as fans)? Who would they like to add to thier supergroup? How sexy is Mounties bassist Park...
