For Him and the Girls (and the guys, too)

A few of has had the pleasure of seeing our client Hawksley Workman play last night as part of a brief tour around the US celebrating the imminent release here of 'For Him and the Girls.' That album was the Juno Award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter's debut 10 years ago, and it's well worth hearing, as are the rest of his dramatic, passionate songs, like "Maniacs," and his intense performances.

The capacity crowd of Hawksley adorers at City Winery knew every word, and made numerous requests, which he was happy to indulge. And we were happy to spend a little time with him backstage, as captured in the photo below. (We'll attribute the slight blurring to one too many glasses from the wine list.)
