Gary Hoey | Wanna Play Music

With a collection of 16 albums and five top 20 Billboard hits, it's no wonder Gary Hoey is listed as one of the "Top 100 Greatest Guitar Players of All Time" by Rolling Stone magazine. Multi-tasking as writer, producer and guitar player, Gary Hoey launched his career in 1993 with the hit song “Hocus Pocus.” His fiery technique helped to send it to the top 5 on Billboards charts. The Boston raised guitarist followed up with the soundtrack to the surf saga, Endless Summer II.

His popular Ho! Ho! Hoey series of Christmas CDs and on-air station visits have become a staple at hundreds of radio stations nationwide.  His live rock and roll Christmas show continues to grow new fans each year. Hallmark's musical greeting cards feature two Ho Ho Hoey classics. In addition to touring as a headline act, Hoey has toured and traded licks with the likes of Brian May (Queen), Ted Nugent, Foreigner, Joe Satriani, The Doobie Bros, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Eric Johnson, Steve Vai, Peter Frampton, Rick Derringer and Deep Purple. Hoey toured with Jeff Beck in spring 2010 and his new album, Utopia, released in August 2010.
