GARY HOEY BIO
World renowned rock guitarist, Gary Hoey, has released 22 albums. His
latest, Neon Highway Blues, entered Billboard at #2. Hoey has toured
with Jeff Beck, Brian may, Joe Satriani & Ted Nugent to name a few. At
sixteen, Hoey often lingered outside Boston's renowned Berklee College of
Music making friends and offering to pay for lessons. To devote more of his
time to music, the prodigy would cut high school classes so that he could hone
his guitar playing skills all the while playing Boston's local clubs and
teaching guitar to avoid a day job and keep the guitar in his hands.

Hoey’s first break came in 1987 when Ozzy Osbourne showed up in Boston
looking for a guitarist. Osborne liked Hoey’s tape enough to fly him to LA for
an audition. Ozzy said “you’re a great player” you should move to LA”. and
with $17,000 he saved from teaching Hoey loaded the U-Haul and drove
across country to LA. In 1992 Warner/Reprise released the epic rock album
“Heavy Bones” album with Frankie Banali on drums. After grunge ended the
band’s career, in 1993 Hoey went on to release his second instrumental
album, "Animal Instinct," on Warner/Reprise which included a cover of
the Focus hit, "Hocus Pocus". During the midst of the grunge era, Hocus
Pocus rocketed into the Billboard Top 5, outpacing all other singles as the
most frequently played rock song of the year, and the album went on to reach
classic rock notoriety. 1994 Hoey scored soundtrack to the cult film “Endless
Summer II” and had another radio hit with War's "Low Rider." In 1995
Hoey released Ho Ho Hoey, the first of what would become a collection of
three instrumental rock remakes of Christmas Classics that are now a staple
at Rock Radio nationwide. Other film clients have included Walt Disney
films, ESPN, New Line Cinema, scoring the music to "California
Screaming" (Disneyland Roller Coaster), Space Mountain (Japan), "Office
Space," "Deck the Halls” (Danny Devito), and Beethoven III. Hoey produced
and co-wrote The Queen Of Metal Lita Ford’s album “Living Like
Runaway.”

He has been involved with Rock n Roll Fantasy Camp for over 10 years
working with artists like Joe Perry to Roger Daltrey, Yes, Johnny Winter,
Leslie West. Gary Hoey is listed as one of the top 100 guitarists of all time.
Whether he’s playing scorching originals or classic rock covers, his solos are
thrilling and reminiscent of Clapton or Stevie Ray in their fiery youth. One
thing that remains consistent is Hoey’s impassioned command of the guitar.
He can attack his instrument with feral intensity and then play something
very soft and achingly beautiful. This ability to mix feeling, phrasing,
technique and tone is the true mark of a master guitarist.
