About

SOPHIE B. HAWKINS:

Legendary songstress Sophie B. Hawkins has been defying categorization ever since breaking out in the early '90s with her edgy debut single "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover," and she continues to carry the torch for nonconformists everywhere. An outspoken vegan, feminist, and omnisexual with serious pop songwriting chops, Hakwins has remained fiercely idiosyncratic despite her mainstream success, and her loyal fans love her for breaking the mold. Today she's as iconoclastic as ever, taking on romance in 2016 with a new batch of wonderfully frank first-date and breakup tunes. In concert she speaks her mind freely, waxing philosophical between confident renditions of favorites like "As I Lay Me Down" and "Right Beside You." Whether she's rocking out with new material or performing her '90s hits, Hawkins is a one-of-a-kind performer who marches to the beat of her own drumóand fans wouldn't have it any other way.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Sophie Ballantine Hawkins was born and raised in New York City and attended Manhattan School of Music as a percussionist. After a brief stint playing percussion for legendary Roxy Music frontman Bryan Ferry, Hawkins released her critically acclaimed 1992 debut album Tongues and Tails. The record's lead single "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover" was a runaway hit, cracking the Top 10 in the US, UK, and Australia and earning her a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. Her rise continued with 1994 sophomore album Whaler, which featured the chart-topping hit "As I Lay Me Down". Following 1999's Timbre and 2004's Wilderness, Hawkins took an eight-year hiatus and returned in 2012 with The Crossing, a collection of finely crafted tunes that proved her point of view was as incisive as ever. With an album of new material ready to share in 2016, Hawkins has fans eagerly awaiting the rare opportunity to see her in concert.

    Sophie was a breath of fresh air. Not only was her music great, but her friendly, personal and funny interaction made it all the better. He fellow musicians were spot on.

    No Show Again

    by T. R. on 12/19/22

    Sophie B Hawkins was scheduled to perform with Judy Collins in Beverly Hills at the Saban Theater. For unknown reasons, the concert was rescheduled to June 2023. They gave ticket holders 30 days to refund their purchase, but DID NOT mention that Sophie B Hawkins would not be in that NEW rescheduled show. Now I have tickets to see Sophie B Hawkins and I will not be seeing her. It even still says her name on the ticket I have.

    Amazing

    by indi on 11/8/21Tally Ho Theater - Leesburg

    Small but enthusiastic crowd. While there were many songs she didn't do Sophie was chatty and energetic and gave us her all and had fun. Can't wait until next year's anniversary tour.

    Our fourth time seeing Sophie B, and she was in as great a form and she was in the 1990s. Very fun set with lots of new music – can't wait for the new album!

    Sophie B Hawkins

    by ladyrere on 4/3/11Coach House - Capistrano - San Juan Capistrano

    Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow!!!! Sophie was INCREDIBLE IN CAPITAL LETTERS!!! Never would I have imagined that she would have been such an artistic and energetic production performer. She was AMAZING and I would love to see her again and again. Her sexuality and play spirit dominate, and her voice is incredible of course. A MUST SEE for anyone that likes a great entertaining show!!

    Sophie is so down to earth.

    by Spyderme on 2/5/11Anthology - San Diego

    I have been to 4 Sophie B appearances at 4 different venues and she puts her all in each show. She is always fun, always energetic and throws her funny quips in here and there. Her heart is in each and every song. Can't wait for the next show. Keep playing in our area Sophie.
