Sneezy Waters
Sneezy Waters began his professional career in the 1960’s, and since that time he’s toured extensively in Canada (including several Arctic communities) Japan, Hong Kong, Laos, Thailand, India, Denmark, Germany, Holland, and the United States. Citing influences as far flung as Woody Guthrie, Frank Zappa, Philip Glass, Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, Lester Young, Charlie Parker, John Lennon, Willie P. Bennett, and Ian Tamblyn, Sneezy boasts a vast repertoire and an unerring ability to interpret a song.
From 1977 to 1990, he starred as Hank Williams in the runaway hit Hank Williams: The Show He Never Gave. The show toured extensively in Canada and the United States and was part of O Kanada, the Canadian cultural festival in Berlin. The movie version of the play garnered rave reviews, and was shown on First Choice Superchannel and CTV in Canada, on HBO and Z Channel in the Unites States, as well as stations in Great Britain and Scandinavia. In 1984 Sneezy won the Best Actor Award in the 3e Festival International du Film Musical in Grenoble, France, for his role as Hank Williams, and the film was nominated for the best country motion picture in the 19th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards.
He has been featured on many network radio and television shows including This Country in the Morning, The Entertainers, Variety Tonight, Let’s Sing Out, The Family Brown Show, Café Hibou, Canada After Dark, The Bob McLean Show, Ninety Minutes Live, The Alan Thicke Show, The Tommy Hunter Show, and Super Country Superstars. He has shared the stage with a number of musicians, including Joan Armatrading, John Hammond, Roy Orbison, and Martin Mull.
Sneezy has also kept up his acting career, appearing in an episode of For The Record and the CBC mini-series Backstretch, which garnered him an ACTRA award nomination. In addition, he has produced soundtracks for Joe Cat, A National Film Board Production, and for Terminal Blues, a National Arts Centre production. He has released two albums, "(You’ve Got) Sawdust on the Floor of Your Heart" and "Sneezy Waters Sings Hank Williams." Borealis is proud to release "Sneezy Waters Sings Hank Williams" for the first time in CD format.

Sneezy Waters Sings Hank Williams Sneezy Waters CD BCD122
Classic album of Hank Williams songs is finally re-released in CD format!
Sneezy Waters is a veteran performer who has been playing his music across Canada and around the world for more than 30 years. From 1977 to 1990, he garnered rave reviews portraying Hank Williams in Maynard Collins’ acclaimed play “Hank Williams: The Show He Never Gave,” which toured extensively throughout Canada, and was subsequently made into a feature film. In 1984 the film won Sneezy the Best Actor Award in the 3e Festival International du Film Musical in Grenoble, France, and was also nominated for Best Country Motion Picture at the 19th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards.
Sneezy Waters Sings Hank Williams, originally released in 1981, features Sneezy’s own inimitable versions of classic Hank Williams songs. Rather than producing a soundtrack to the play, Sneezy decided to interpret the songs as he would sing them, not as Hank Williams would sing them. Almost twenty years later, this album still stands as a fine representation of a contemporary take on Hank Williams’ music.
Featuring songs like “Jambalaya,” “Weary Blues (From Waiting),” “Lovesick Blues,” “Cold Cold Heart,” “Hey Good Looking,” “Mind Your Own Business,” and more, the album includes an all-star cast of supporting musicians, including Graham Townsend (fiddle), George Essery (Pedal Steel), Willie P. Bennett (harmonica), Randy Hill (mandolin), Ken Whiteley (accordion), Ed Bimm (piano), David Woodhead (bass), Peter Beaudoin (drums) and the Humber River Valley Boys.
Produced by Bill Garrett, this album is a must-have for any fan of Hank Williams and country music.
"Sneezy Waters gives fans music, music, music."
-Vancouver Sun
