Winnipeg Folk Fest + Friend + Hawksley

Here's some background information before I tell my short story. Hawksley Workman is an awesome Canadian artist who's been writting music since 199something. Anyways, my friend has always LOVED him; I remember last year when she showed me the strangest poem book that Mr. Hawksley wrote himself. Oh ya, it was creative but the fat naked women sketches blinded my eyes, hah sorry. OH, and those Hawksley pics all over our locker.. And... darn she's soo gonna marry him. *sigh* the last year of High school, oh what fun times it was.

OK, now... I'm going to post some news: Last month during the Winnipeg's Folk Festival (at Bird's Hill Park) my friend.. meet.. Hawksley Workman! Yes, the stalker (I'm just kidding) was so happy about it (yay Mandie!); This was her second time of meeting him, I think the first time was at the... uh oh I can't remember: West End Cultural centre or the Burton Cummings Theatre? See how simple it is to make someone's day?

NOW onto some music stuff: If you like creative acoustic tracks that's not so grungy.. dare I say maybe a bit poppy? If you like Lenny Kravitz, you may like Mr. Hawksley too (but Hawksley Workman is much more creative!). Check out Hawksley Workman TODAY! go!! go!!

Recommended Tracks:
We Will Still Need A Song (A lovely happy acoustic-y song)
Striptease (The name says it all, filled with awesome synths!!!!)
