A musician of incredible velocity, Hawksley Workman is at the top of his game when he has the solitude and serenity to write and record his music in atomic bursts, focused into monastic postures, accessing grace and brilliance in fluid, sweeping motions. With his increasing rock triumphs, growing fan communities and formidable body mass, Workman has evolved from the slight, pin-striped oddball with a critically-acclaimed diamond voice, to the panoramic, guitar-punishing superstar with no performance limits.
After the success of 2003's Lover/Fighter, the adoring battlefield was cleared and swords were beaten into plowshares. Hawksley Workman grew up in rural Ontario and began music as a drummer, going on to become a dizzying multiinstrumentalist who plays and sings virtually every part on his records.
Hawksley Workman garnered Juno awards in 2002 for Best New Solo Artist and Best Video for "Jealous Of Your Cigarette". He has toured Europe with such luminaries as David Bowie, Patti Smith, New Order, The Cure, Marianne Faithfull and Noir Désir.
Jenn Grant, born in Prince Edward Island, now lives in Halifax where she is a singer/songwriter and painter. Grant has also been fortunate enough to share the stage with some of her favorites like Feist, Julie Doiron, Ron Sexsmith, Josh Ritter and most recently toured with The Great Lake Swimmers and then The Weakerthans. She released her second full length album (Echoes) with Toronto's Six Shooter Records in February.
