Canadian alternative rock performer Hawksley Workman is a solo writer/recording artist who tours with a band called The Wolves, together they are logically Hawksley Workman and The Wolves. Growing up in rural central Ontario, Hawksley (Stage Name, his real name is Ryan Corrigan) released a demo album called Before We Were Security Guards before releasing his debut "For Him and the Girls" in 1999 on his own label, Isadora Records.

Hawksley Workman's music is diverse, with significant changes in style from album to album as well as from song to song. Although there are surely countless influences for his music, there is hardly any one band that can be pinpointed to as "the same," and certainly if one song is boxed in this way, the rest of the tracks on that albums are going to be different. Hawksley Workman's style ranges from grungy pop rock on "Lovers/Fighters" to quiet, sing-song acoustic melodies and tragically era-relevant lyrics on the bittersweet "Treeful of Starling", and everything in between from sexy jazz rock and alternative folk on 'Delicious Wolves' to the showtune-esque 'Paper Shoes' from 'Him and The Girls'. Hawksley will keep you guessing on every new release, but he'll always leave you coming back for more. « hide |
