Gregory Hoskins is no late bloomer. As Canadian music industry illuminary Richard Flohil described him, “He is a dramatically re-emerging Canadian talent.” He is a songwriter’s songwriter. A singer’s singer. He translates his rather full life into material that transforms a simple concert into something that resembles communion.
A largely unsung figure of the Canadian folk-rock scene of the '90s when accompanied by his band, The Stickpeople, Gregory Hoskins has re-emerged with four new releases as an indie artist. The CDs as a collection are all excellent CDs: King of Good Intentions (2005 Studio CD), The Beggars Heart (2007 Studio CD), Alone in the Mayor's House... almost (2008 Live Solo CD), Pleasure and Relief (2008 Live Concert CD).

Almost a solo accoustic recording. That was the idea, but a number of the tracks have gh on electric and Gary Craig joins in on almost half the recording which took place over 3 days in October, 2008. Just a couple of microphones in the room that you see to the left here and that's it– a raw and honest capturing of the songs.

“His voice is haunting throughout and his lyrics speak of the hard lessons he has obviously learned over the last decade. The King Of Good Intentions is a welcome re-introduction to this gifted Canadian songwriter.” - Jason Shneider Echo weekly
