Celebrate the 30 Years of Gary Hoey’s Ho Ho Hoey

November 30th at the Kate

OLD SAYBROOK, CT - The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, “the Kate”, welcomes world-renowned blues and rock guitarist Gary Hoey on Sunday, November 30, 2025, at 7:00 pm.
This year marks the 30th Anniversary of Ho Ho Hoey, the first ever full album of rock instrumental holiday classics created by Gary Hoey in his bedroom on an 8-track recorder. His love for Christmas music came from his beloved mother 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. Hoey’s prolific career has spanned over 30 years and 21 albums in various genres. It’s his amazing talent and love for his fans that have made him immensely popular with audiences of all ages. Joining him is his amazing son, Ian Hoey on guitar.
