Bio
Having three full-length releases under his belt and experience playing much of Canada, the US and New Zealand, Simon can rightly be called a seasoned singer/songwriter. His latest release "Sing of the Beauty, Say Nothing of the Pain" is proof of his hard-earned maturity. Lyrically, the album winds its way through themes of loss, weariness, pain and love; musically it is the meticulous and sincere work of a virtuoso guitarist and skilled vocalist. A careful listener can hear the influences of Bruce Cockburn, Rufus Wainwright, Jeff Buckley, and Ryan Adams. In a culture where a willingness to "give it a shot" seems to be all one needs to be called a singer/songwriter, the raw talent obvious in Simon Hoskyn's work sets him above and apart. -

Simon, fantastic sounding new songs! I hope we get a chance to hang out when I'm home from Toronto for Christmas, it will also give a chance to buy this album already... I'm looking forward to both.
