Gary Hoey Releases New Album

Are you a fan of guitarist Gary Hoey? He's preparing for tour now in support of his newest album called Utopia. Here's a press release and have a good Saturday.

HOLLYWOOD, CA (October 28, 2010) – Ax-slinger Gary Hoey has had a busy year with numerous projects and extensive touring.  Most recently, he wrapped up his latest album UTOPIA, which released on his own label Wazoo Music Group.

While Hoey is known for his signature versions of covers (Hocus Pocus, Lowrider, Misirlou, etc.) this album features 12 all new, all original songs. UTOPIA features Hoey’s widely recognized guitar skills, while showcasing his growth as a singer and songwriter. “Utopia's been a long time coming,” explains Hoey. “Utopia took over 2 years to make because I wanted time to develop my songs on tour and then bring that to the studio.  That is why I started my indie label, Wazoo Music Group, so I could have that creative control over my music and be able to give it to my fans on my own terms.”

Hoey has toured North America throughout the year opening shows for Jeff Beck, Styx, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and Bret Michaels.  Additionally, he was Camp Counselor at Rock N Roll Fantasy Camp. That session was filmed and produced by Mark Burnett for a reality TV series that is currently airing on VH1 Classic.   

With a collection of 17 albums and five top 20 Billboard hits, it’s clear to see why Gary Hoey is listed in the top 100 greatest guitar players of all time. Whether Hoey plays rock, blues, surf or Christmas, Hoey’s command of each style makes his live show one of the most exciting on the circuit today.

UTOPIA is a must have for your collection, available now through www.garyhoey.com , iTunes and Amazon.com.

I am a fan of Gary Hoey, but I've never seen him playing close to Cincinnati. Even an hour or two away, I think it would be worth the trip. His version of "Linus and Lucy" is one of my favorite songs ever. I will have it played at my funeral.

I have Gary's version of Linus and Lucy on my ipod JT, along with his versions of Wipeout and Hocus Pocus. His version of Hocus Pocus is a face melter!! Guy is an incredible guitarist.
