Hawksley Workman

[nelsonlonigan]

He's dressed like Freddy Krueger?

[MisterWite1]

Hey Rosetta! is good, check them out... in particular a song called Red Heart

[magglowson]

I'm not sure if it's because I'm Canadian and I can't hear my accent but I don't think any of us speak like that. Hawklsey's just got his own thing, he's a sweetie!

[OpticalFunkllusions]

Man he has the Canadian accent down perfect haha. A genius

[cmichaluk44]

what is a window??? life is life it never ends u feel n think and express untill the end

who cares who listens

[kikyo4815]

I want to fall down that hill. XD

[iluvpurple911]

He has such a canadian accent!

[90srock]

he's one of my fav artists in the world. so different theres no way you can compare him to anyone. he's legit an original singer/songer writer/musician.

[Shep11111]

I think its hilarious how the crowd and George thought Hawksley was going to say something derogative about NL and then look surprised as he compliments the shit out of it.

[k8teeeeeeee]

Two sexy Canadian men. Yum

[sharptongue1]

I just saw hawksley for the first time at Massey hall and will see him again.

[flexxx1984]

Hawksley Kreugar

[scarletjg]

So happy he lauded Hey Rosetta! They're an awesome band that will break out very soon. Of course I'm from Newfoundland and have been a fan of theirs for years now so I might be a tad biased. :)

[race13]

BEST CANADIAN SINGER/SONG WRITER!

[mjr760]

mmm.  blow...

[listenoverhere]

@mjr760 I thought so too

[TaffyRaphie]

hm....i see two men with soul patches, side burns, and earring.....coincidence?

probably :P

[essierto]

@TaffyRaphie So true

[whateevs]

i love hawksley so much.

[NigelMK]

Hey Rosetta! is my favourite band, respect level just went up a bit for HW.

[follepourchevaux]

I saw Hawksley in Mt. Forest at a small theatre with amazing acoustics. He gives a full out performance and is totally engaged with the audience - completely at home in the spotlight. One of the very best concerts I've ever been to. C'mon back, HW!

[xXSammyTheSalmonXx]

He worked with my theater group on our play. he's an awsome guy. really cool.

[JaceOfSpades65]

whoo hey rosetta!! i totally didnt expect him to talk about them! love love love

[2322008]

What Neil Young movie is he talking about?

[itsalargeworld]

neil is amazing  yaaaa

[barriehomeboy]

He's an ar-tiste. they get to wear the funky nonsensical clothes.

[stupidgravity1300]

hawksleeyyyyyyy <3

[grobo11]

why does he remind me of freddy kruger?

[splatterfilmguy302]

or is it fresh?

[canadianmaple09]

What the fuck?!? Jazz hat over a bandana? And then a preppy sweater. Make up your mind! You can't be drama, gangsta, and preppy all at the same time! It's just stupid!

[bchicka]

amazing artist...very well spoken.

[politiciandiva]

I'm going to see him in Peterborough in literally half an hour!!!

[1brooklyn1]

yay canada!

[omgcrayonz]

HEY ROSETTA!!!!!!!!

everyone go buy their ablum, they're great! :)

[omgcrayonz]

holy shit he sounds SOOOOOOOOOO stereotypically canadian! you can totally tell he comes from ontario, hahahaha.

[tooheys1968]

"lego-o away-y"

[Fuzzkins]

Ya, cool guy:)

[TattooedHobbitscribe]

Very well spoken guy :)

[padaalsa]

This is the first time I've ever seen or heard him speak. He's very articulate, but he's also sounds a lot more... flowery than I would have thought.

[AxeGrrrl]

"but he's also sounds a lot more... flowery than I would have thought. "

I guess you're not familiar with his early live performances.....feather boas being a regular accessory! :)

But seriously, check out his POETRY sometime ~ "Hawksley Burns for Isadora"

[padaalsa]

Never even knew he had poems. Ièll be sure to check some out, thanks.

[AxeGrrrl]

that little book of odes to love is a thing of beauty.....definitely worth seeking out :)

[LukasBThiessen]

Hawksley makes me drool, in a very elegant sort of...no, i just drool over everything. It is amazing to know that the great artists are so aware of everything that surrounds them and their own places in life. I wonder if it's too bad that Hawksley didn't mention people like Joni Mitchell or Buffy Saint-Marie when he was listing great Canadian artists still making music in their later years?

[barriehomeboy]

Naw I was just making a Canadian joke. Gay marriage etc. OK if u have to explain a joke it isn't a joke anymore. But thanks for asking!

[barriehomeboy]

your cousin is a lucky guy

[arclight20]

his gay??

[hahayhahayhahay]

No.. The cousin is probably a girl.

[ashoka22]

thats my cousins boyfriend

[cmoubell]

is that sniffle a cold or a coc addiction?!?

[barriehomeboy]

A cold. He's still too articulate and focussed to be on coke.

[EricJosepi]

Hawksley has such a pure voice. One of the best in rock. I never knew he had such an accent though ;)

[AxeGrrrl]

"I never knew he had such an accent though ;)"

_what_ accent? :)

His diction is like a Berlitz tape....where are you from? :)

[hahayhahayhahay]

He's from ontario, Canada

[thebellrang]

You can hear an accent (which we all have to others). I'm in southern Ontario, but I can hear a bit of a northern, rural accent, or, I guess, stereotypically Canadian accent with some of his words.

[dirtybirdy]

Hawksley is so unique and amazing. In a world full of manufactured pop bimbps and repetitive rap, I'm so glad there are still artists like him nowadays.

[zombieholly]

two of my favourite guys!

this is great. I love hearing both him and George speak, and this video is just amazing for me. I now understand why i have such a connection with his music :)

[liveurlifeluv]

my dad was a drummer too ahaha kewl

[5390210]

He is such a talented musican and seems relally down to earth

[LouieBegonia]

I adore Hawksley! I hope he never quit putting out music.

[brittreblynn]

I could sit and listen to him for hours and hours too. Such an amazing artist AND person.

[PhilipvKlaassen]

Awesome interview!

[pattah]

i wish he would talk with george for like 10 hours and i would just there and listen

[Ihadahat]

Hawksey Workman is amazing.

& amesome comments about Hey Rosetta! (& NL in general) as well!

Great interview.

[tylerjturek]

'guggling' hurts your scrotum. Try googling instead.

[hansjfleischmann]

yes, he is the "jealous of your cigarette guy."

[jkelly113]

I love Hawksley Workman... he is probably one of the best singer/songwriters in Canada.

Also, I love the way he praised Newfoundland. You don't hear a lot about our province from other Canadians, and if you hear it from somewhere outside of Canada they're always pronuncing it "Newfinlind" or somewhere there abouts.

[redshift40]

Fantastic song writer. Could just be one of the best in Canada.

[evilelo]

...he's dressed like freddy kruger!

[RachelV124]

I have to admit.. You are so right he is dressed like Freddy! Oh god! Not Good!

[Psychofunkapus]

Strombo should be the litmus test for all new hires at the CBC. (I accept cheques George).

I agree with Hawksley , Newfies are the most down to Earth cool Canadians , and all Canadians know it even if they won't admit it.

Is this the Jealous of your Cigarette guy?

NM don't answer that , I'll just guggle it.

[rockthecasba16]

thank god there are some people who are able to recognize that.
