Lachlan hawkins
Lachlan Hawkins is an accomplished drummer and handpan artist with a diverse performance career to date across the areas of jazz and improvised music, musical theatre, corporate entertainment and contemporary music.
In 2014, Lachlan was selected as one of six national finalists in the James Morrison Scholarship, and since then, has been fortunate to work with some of Australia’s most accomplished musicians and ensembles including James Morrison, Elly Hoyt, Melissa Western, The View from Madeleine’s Couch, the QLD Pops Orchestra as well as regular performances nationally with his high-impact corporate drumming group “SoundStruck”.
As a solo handpan artist, Lachlan's melodic rhythms soothe soul as his lyrics press deeper into themes of belonging, self-acceptance, perseverance and loss. Lachlan has shared his award-winning handpan music project "No Enemy Within" with audiences around Australia including recent performances at the Brisbane City Hall, Palm Creek Folk Festival and the Majors Creek Folk Festival. Lachlan was awarded the Lord Mayor's City Hall Concerts Award in 2018, and celebrated his debut album release "No Enemy Within" with two Highly Commended Awards at the 2019 Queensland Music Awards.
