There has not been, in the last 30 years of Rock and Roll, a music artist that has been capable to take Winter Holiday classics to the next level and transform them in precious little gems of Surf, Hard-Rock and Metal quite like the Boston Guitar Supremo and singer/songwriter Gary Hoey has been able to do so far in his remarkable career.
Through an experiment that was born back in 1995 and released the same year, called Ho! Ho! Hoey, where Gary Hoey decided to give a full instrumental Rock treatment to classics like Jingle Bells, White Christmas and Auld Lang Syne, among others, Hoey has started a rather successful tradition, in the last 3 decades, by touring the United States performing live shows made of sole Winter Holiday classics Hoey recorded.

One of the ultimate goals for an artist, any artist in any music genre, it is to create an emotional symmetry between said artist and a crowd, a concept that finds its application and validation solely through a life performance.
While this goal may be relatively easier to achieve in a large, noisy context such as an arena, with several thousands people clapping and singing to an artist or a band playing their biggest hits, to play for an audience of only 50 people instead and being able to take that crowd to join that artist on a musical journey, armed with only a grand piano and few sonic sketches on which to improvise on for an hour or so, that requests bags of pure talent.
