Gary Hoey

Gary Hoey (born August 23, 1960) is a surfer-rock musician.

Early life and early career

At fourteen, Hoey often lingered outside Boston's renowned Berklee College of Music, making friends and offering to pay for lessons. To devote his time to music, he dropped out of high school and began playing Boston's local clubs and teaching guitar to other young players. He auditioned for Ozzy Osbourne in 1988, when Osbourne was searching for a replacement for Jake E. Lee, but the job went to Zakk Wylde.

In 1990, he teamed with singer Joel Ellis, bassist Rex Tennyson, and drummer Frankie Banali to form Heavy Bones. The band released their debut album in 1992, but broke up shortly afterwards.

In 1993, he recorded the successful Animal Instinct album, which included a cover of the Focus hit "Hocus Pocus". Not only did the hit rocket into the Billboard Top 5, outpacing all other singles as the most frequently played rock song of the year, but the album went on to reach classic rock notoriety. The successful Endless Summer II soundtrack soon followed. He went on to record around twelve instrumental albums, all electric guitar oriented. His 1996 release, Bug Alley, displayed added vocal ability that he has expanded on more recent albums. He continues to tour extensively.

    American Made

    by: Gary Hoey

    You don't miss me when I'm gone
    I didn't notice that you changed your hair
    You don't look at me when we make love
    I try to act like I just don't care
    All the little things that used to make us laugh
    Had turned to gray like a faded photograph
    How do we find a love that lasts to the end of time?
    When love fades away I want you to know
    I'm not gone away
    When love fades away I need you to know
    I'll be here to stay
    When love fades away
    Infatuation is gone
    Love ain't greener on the other side
    Let's find a love that makes us strong
    I came back here to swallow my pride
    All the little things that used to make us cry
    Have turned to stone and left us here to die
    How do we find a love that was yours and mine?
    When love fades away I want you to know
    I'm not gone away
    When love fades away I need you to know
    I'll be here to stay
    When love fades away
    When love fades away I want you to know
    I'm not gone away
    When love fades away I need you to know
    I'll be here to stay
    When love fades away
    When love fades away I need you to know
    I'll be here to stay
    When love fades away
