Tenor Hoss Brock is a versatile artist who enjoys performing with many prestigious organizations. He is currently a full time member of both the Lyric Opera of Chicago and Grant Park Music Festival choruses. During his time at Lyric, Hoss made his solo debut as Ike Skidmore in Oklahoma!, and has performed several other roles, ranging from Bishop to Drag Queen. Other operatic appearances include the Pine Mountain Music Festival, Tulsa Opera, Chautauqua Opera, and the San Francisco Opera. Enjoying many styles of music, Hoss formed High in the Lower 80’s, an 80’s tribute band appearing around Chicagoland, and sang Baba Yetu from Civ IV at the Video Games Live national tour. His voices-only arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody was hailed by Chicago a cappella as a “great achievement in the ensemble’s history”.

In his spare time, Hoss pursues many hobbies, including woodworking, baking sourdough bread, building and painting terrain and miniatures for tabletop gaming, and growing and training Bonsai. He also enjoys motorcycling and off-road driving, having wheeled at the Cliffs Insane Terrain in Marseilles, IL, the Badlands Off-road Park in Attica, IN, and the northern terminus of Highway 41 in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
