Full Bio
Richard Hawley is an English guitarist, singer-songwriter, and producer. Hawley’s inspiration has largely been found in his local Sheffield and 1960s rockabilly.
After his first band Treebound Story (formed while he was still at school) broke up, Hawley found success as a member of Britpop band Longpigs in the 1990s. As a member of the Longpigs, Hawley released two albums, The Sun Is Often Out and Mobile Home.
Following the breakup of Longpigs in 2000, Hawley later joined the band Pulp as a touring guitarist while also working as a session musician.
Besides his stints in Pulp and Longpigs, Hawley did session work for a variety of U.K. artists, such as Robbie Williams, Beth Orton, Lisa Marie Presley, Arctic Monkeys and All Saints.
Hawley began his solo career with a self-titled debut in 2001. As a solo musician, Hawley has released seven studio albums, including Late Night Final, Lowedges, Coles Corner, Lady’s Bridge, Truelove’s Gutter, Standing at the Sky’s Edge, and Hollow Meadows. He has been nominated for a Mercury prize twice and once for a Brit Award.
