Edit history

Hawley aka Alfred Hawley Gorman III is a Perth singer, songwriter and guitarist who plays solo indie rock tunes, sometimes using the acoustic, other times rocking it out on the electric or using the odd backing track. Sharpening his teeth and honing his songwriting as a founding member and songwriter of Perth indie pop mavericks Upperdeck, who rose to local notoriety, during the band's short but explosive career that saw them win Perth's prestigious 20 Minutes of Fame band comp at Amplifier Bar, and release an EP that gained national radio play on JJJ and RTRFM, before the 5 different members moved off to different pursuits and different countries. Stripping things back, he continued on a solo path, performing lo-key gigs around town under the guise of Hawley (his middle name); belting out a mix of original, rootsy, raw and rockin' tunes and interspersed with the odd eclectic cover version.
