HOLLYWOOD (November 3, 2009) – Ax-slinger Gary Hoey is the brains behind the annual HO! HO! HOEY ROCKIN HOLIDAY TOUR. Along with a series of Christmas CDs Gary Hoey’s on-air station visits have become a staple at hundreds of radio stations nationwide.

The HO HO HOEY TOUR is more than a Christmas Tour – Hoey has been raising funds for many charities along the way of his Holiday travels. Hoey has brought joy to charities such as the
Connecticut Children's Hospital Metal Health Concerts (2006, 2007 & 2008) as well as auctioning himself off for private guitar lessons to support the New Hampshire Food Bank's "Lend A Helping Can" food drive four years in a row raising over $5,000 for families in need, Toys for Tots with the Marine Corps and his guitar auctions for the Boys & Girls Club in Visalia, CA for 2007 & 2008 has raised over $25,000.

In 1993 Hoey launched his career and since built a collection of 16 albums and five (5) top 20 Billboard hits. It is no wonder Hoey is listed in the top 100 greatest guitar players of all time. Whether it’s rock, blues, surf or Christmas, Hoey’s command of each style makes his live show one of the most exciting on the circuit today.
