Ted Hawkins (October 28, 1936 — January 1, 1995), featured in Venice Beach Confidential, was an American singer-songwriter. He was born in Biloxi, Mississippi, United States.
Hawkins was an enigmatic figure through most of his career; he split his time between his adopted hometown of Venice Beach, California where he was a mostly anonymous street performer, and Europe, where he and his songs were better known and well received in clubs and small concert halls.
