Joe Bonamassa and Gary Koch at the Paramont Theatre

By

I have been posting a few videos lately of Joe Bonamassa and his “invited guests” like Gary Hoey and Warren Haynes.

Then this afternoon I came across this video gem from when Joe invited Gary Koch of Wildwood Guitars to join him on stage at the Paramount Theatre last fall.

This video is as much about Gary as it is about Joe. Some serious chops on display here!

Gary’s first solo blasts off at 2:14. Enjoy!!

I love that Joe graciously shares his stage with other great guitar players. Clearly he has no fear of losing his audience – rather he enhances their concert experience. Thanks Joe – keep rocking!

Gary Hoey - UTOPIA Album Release

World renowned rock guitarist Gary Hoey takes his talents to the next level with his new album, “Utopia” on Wazoo Music Group.

The CD is set to be released on August 24th, 2010.

With a collection of 16 albums and five top 20 Billboard hits, itʼs no wonder Gary Hoey is listed in the top 100 greatest guitar players of all time.

His popular Ho! Ho! Hoey series of Christmas CDs and on-air station visits have become a staple at hundreds of radio stations nationwide. His live rock and roll Christmas show continues to grow new fans each year. HALLMARKʼS musical greeting cards feature two Ho Ho Hoey classics.

Hoey has toured and traded licks with the likes of Brian May (Queen), Ted Nugent, Foreigner, Joe Satriani, The Doobie Bros, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Eric Johnson, Steve Vai, Peter Frampton, Rick Derringer and Deep Purple.”

NAMM – Gary Hoey Band Rocks the Fender Booth with UTOPIA

By

I returned from NAMM last night with a massive backlog of things to write about on the BUZZ.  I also recorded several videos that I will upload over the next few days.

One of the highlights was a 3rd row seat for The Gary Hoey Band at the Fender booth. Gary has been with Fender for 14 years and showed his appreciation by putting on a free (and killer) 30-minute set which included the title track of his upcoming cd… UTOPIA.

Note: More Gary Hoey Band videos can be viewed on my “YouTube Channel”…
