Gary Hoey · Portsmouth · Sep 4, 2026

Listed as one of the top 100 guitarists of all time by Guitar Player Magazine, rock and blues guitar legend Gary Hoey is touring on his latest album, Avalanche. His career skyrocketed in 1993 when his instrumental cover of "Hocus Pocus" reached the Billboard Top 5 as the most frequently played rock song of the year. An acclaimed instrumental hero and film scorer, Hoey has crafted soundtracks for Walt Disney films, ESPN, and the surf cult classic Endless Summer II. Currently touring both on his own and as the guitar player for the Lou Gramm All Stars, Hoey has shared stages with legends like Jeff Beck, Brian May, and Joe Bonamassa.
