Gregory Hoskins released his first recording for True North Records with his band The Stickpeople at the age of 27. Both 1991's Moon Come Up and 1993's follow-up Raids On The Unspeakable established Hoskins as a new voice on the Canadian music scene but after a slew of singles, videos, and road work he dissolved the band in 1995 and disappeared. After a mysterious six-year withdrawal from the music business, Hoskins re-emerged in 2001 with the remarkable solo CD, The King of Good Intentions, praised by critics for its "quiet soul, haunting voice, and lyrics (that) speak of the hard lessons he has obviously learned over the last decade."
Between February 2007 and May 2008, he released 3 recordings: the studio recording The Beggar Heart featuring a searing duet with Serena Ryder on "Never A Stranger Kiss"; his first live recording and DVD Pleasure & Relief; and a "solo acoustic" compilation Alone In The Mayor's House...Almost for U.S. label Candy Rat Records.
Hoskins has opened for Sarah McLachlan, the Indigo Girls, the Neville Brothers, Bruce Cockburn, Rickie Lee Jones, Hawksley Workman and folk-legend Odetta among many others. He currently lives and works musically on Manitoulin Island in Northern Ontario,
Previous Art of Time productions have met with high praise. J.D. Considine of The Globe and Mail notes the recent sold out Brasil concerts "presented a faˆßade of effortless grace that belied how much was going on beneath the surface... ravishing." John Terauds of The Toronto Star calls the group in performance "a delicate balance between classical expression and modern sensibility... as memorable as the creativity behind them."
Art of Time provides a unique musical experience that breaks down barriers between artistic and musical disciplines, and reveals the vibrancy of classical music as a contemporary artistic expression, appealing to a range of audiences.
