About this Event

Rock & Blues guitar legend Gary Hoey releases his first album in 6 years, Avalanche, on Wazoo Music Group (Hoey’s own label). Avalanche features special guest Lita Ford on vocals on “You Know I Would” and Gary’s son, Ian Hoey, is featured on “Dear Mama”, a tribute to Gary’s mother, and “Summer’s Here”. Gary says, “Avalanche is a return to my rock roots. It feels great to turn up the volume and have some fun. This album was a therapeutic album for me. I named the album Avalanche because sometimes life feels like one thing after another.”

Hoey called on his old friends to help him record; Matt Scurfield on drums, AJ Pappas on bass, Ian Hoey on guitar, and his niece Taylor on background vocals. Hoey can’t wait to hit the road on his Avalanche Tour 2024. “Playing live is the best feeling, I love to travel and see the fans after the show. And having my son Ian playing guitar by my side is a dream come true. We will be playing the new and the old classics “Hocus Pocus”, “Low Rider”, and more.”

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 suggested that Gary move to LA. He took Ozzy’s advice and with $17,000 he saved from teaching Hoey loaded the U-Haul and drove across country to LA. In 1992 Hoey released Heavy Bones on Warner Bros. A short lived band.

1993 Hoey released Animal Instinct which included a cover of the Focus hit, “Hocus Pocus”. It rocket into the Billboard Top 5, outpacing all other singles as the most frequently played rock song of the year. It’s no wonder Gary Hoey is listed as one of the top 100 guitarists of all time.

1994 Hoey scored the successful Endless Summer II soundtrack and had another radio hit with War’s “Low Rider”. Other film clients have included Walt Disney films, ESPN, New Line Cinema, scoring the music to “California Screaming” (Disney Roller Coaster), “Office Space,” “Deck the Halls” (Danny Devito), and Beethoven III.

In 2012 Hoey produced and co-wrote The Queen Of Metal Lita Ford’s latest release Living Like Runaway. 2025 will see a new Lita album produced and co-written by Hoey.

Gary has toured with Jeff Beck, Brian May of Queen, Joe Bonamassa, Ted Nugent, Joe Satriani, The Doobie Brothers, Foreigner, and Styx.
