Ron Hawkins found early fame as the lead singer to Toronto's Lowest of The Low whose live show and critical well received 17 song debut album 'Shakespeare My Butt' brought them to the attention of A & M Records.

The band managed a second album on A & M in 1993 before going their separate ways.

Hawkins formed his own band Ron Hawkins And The Rusty Nails who recorded several albums.

In 2001 Lowest of the Low reunited. They released a double album package in 2002 - one disc was live and the other all new studio recordings.

They returned to live touring and followed up with a 2004 album called 'Sordid Fiction'.

With the second dissolution of the band, Hawkins assembled a second version of the Rusty Nails and continued recording and touring.
