In 1995 Gary Hoey created the first ever full album of rock instrumental holiday classics in his bedroom on an 8-track recorder. His love for Christmas music came from his beloved mother, Barbara, and growing up in Boston set the backdrop for many great holiday memories. Gary’s Ho Ho Hoey Rockin’ Holiday Tour has become a cherished holiday tradition for families and radio stations around the world. His success behind instrumental rock Christmas music started after his version of “The Twelve Days Of Christmas” hit the airwaves with its classical arrangement and metal flavor. The show is a unique fusion of holiday cheer and electrifying rock 'n' roll, masterminded by the virtuoso guitarist. Over the years, Hoey has carved a niche for himself not only as a gifted musician with a prolific career spanning various genres but also as the creator of this distinctive holiday extravaganza. These adaptations, while infusing the essence of rock, maintain the spirit and joy of the festive season, making them immensely popular with audiences of all ages.
Audiences can expect to hear iconic holiday melodies like “You’re a Mean One Mr Grinch,” "The First Noel," “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” and "Deck The Halls" which is featured in the movie starring Danny Devito, Gary Ho Ho Hoey's Rockin' Holiday Show includes vibrant lighting, festive stage decor, and sometimes even surprise guest performers. It has also made Hoey fortunate enough to give back in the process, helping the veterans with clothing drives, Toys for Tots and food drives. Hoey’s music is featured in Hallmark greeting cards. Bring the whole family together and celebrate this holiday season as only Gary Ho Ho Hoey can.
