HAWKSLEY WORKMAN EMBARKS UPON UK TOUR THIS AUTUMN

This September and October, Canadian multi-instrumentalist Hawksley Workman will play a number of intimate shows in the UK, including four dates in the capital city.

Since releasing his debut record in the late ‘90s, Hawksley Workman has developed a truly inimitable approach to indie rock music, blending lush instrumentals with a quirky sense of personality and a penchant for cabaret. Along the way, he’s picked up gold records, some impressive production credits, and the loyalty of countless fans across the world. This autumn, the Canadian artist returns to the UK for a run of dates, kicking off in London on 23rd September.

From there, Hawksley will play at a number of beloved venues across the country, including converted petrol station Hyde Park Book Club in Leeds, the cosy Folklore Rooms in Brighton, and Sheffield coffee house Cafe #9. The tour also includes an impressive number of shows in London, each taking place at Camden Town’s folk hub, Green Note. Hawksley will play the venue four times over the course of the tour, including matinee shows on 27th September and 11th October.
