Hawksley Workman's still got it: Photo Highlights
Vancouver was treated to Hawksley Workman on Thursday October 28. Workman has spent the past year producing his latest album, his eleventh, 'Old Cheetah,' and touring with his other "supergroup" project, The Mounties, which he formed with Ryan Dahle (Limblifter), Steve Bays (Hot Hot Heat).
The Mounties played the Commodore Ballroom last year, this year fans were pleased to see him reunited Mr. Lonely (on piano), Brad Kilpatrick (on drums), and Derrick Brady (bass), all of whom have played with Hawksley for at least fifteen years.
Workman is a multi-talented, homegrown Canadian rockstar who has produced albums with many Sarah Slean, Serena Ryder, Jeremy Fisher, Great Big Sea, Hey Rosetta!, Tegan and Sara and Justin Rutledge.
"Multi-talented" in Workman's case is not an overstatement: among other things he plays guitar, piano, drums, and bass.
Hailing from Ontario, Workman calls Vancouver his second home— so if you missed him this time around, don't worry. He'll be back.
