Hawksley Workman Tour Hits Victoria

I have seen Hawksley Workman four times. Each performance I’ve seen has been better than the last. For that reason, it shouldn’t have surprised me that the most recent tour to support his newest record Old Cheetah was the best show yet. Workman isn’t going to be found onstage lip-synching, he’s unlikely to play a pop song (Although…
