Guitar God Gary Hoey Taking Requests Tomorrow on KLAQ
It’s time for another Buzz Adams Morning Show tradition: a Christmas request with guitar virtuoso Gary Hoey!
Gary “Ho Ho” Hoey will be on the show tomorrow, November 29, in the 7 a.m. hour.
Gary first hit the Billboard Top Five in 1993 with his instrumental cover of “Hocus Pocus” by the band Focus.
He released his first album of Christmas songs in 1995 with the original Ho Ho Hoey album. Since then he’s released 16 live and studio albums including 5 Christmas albums, studio, and compilations.
Here’s his cover of You’re a Mean One Mister Grinch from Ho! Ho! Hoey! II….
Here’s a heavy version of Joy to the World from his third Christmas album…
Start coming up with your Yule requests for Gary Hoey. Don’t ask him for Mariah’s All I Want for Christmas is You, though. We’ve asked him every year for twenty years and he (still) claims he’s never heard it…which becomes harder to believe with every passing year.
Also, Gary has already started his Ho! Ho! Hoey! Rockin Holiday Tour. Some of the remaining dates include:
-December 8 at Reggie’s in Chicago.
-December 14 at The Rhythm Room in Phoenix
-December 15 in Vegas at Count’s Vamp’d
-December 16 in San Juan Capistrano at The Coach House.
-December 17 in Ramona, California at Ramona Main Stage
Of course, Gary will be taking requests tomorrow around 7:15 El Paso time. Just remember…NO MARIAH!
Another annual tradition returns for 2022…Gary Hoey will be giving away an autographed Fender guitar on Christmas Day! You can register to win it at Gary’s website, http://garyhoey.com/
