In 1993 Gary Hoey launched his career with the hit song “Hocus Pocus” and his fiery technique helped to send it to the Top 5 on Billboard’s charts. He then followed up with the soundtrack to the surf saga, Endless Summer II. With a collection of 16 albums and five Top 20 Billboard hits, it’s no wonder Gary Hoey is considered one of the greatest guitar players of all time.
Ronnie Montrose and Sammy Hagar formed their band Montrose in 1973. Montrose pioneered and influenced an entire generation of West Coast Rock and Roll by firing out big guitar riffs, the classics Rock Candy, Bad Motor Scooter, Rock the Nation and Space Station #5, and soulful dynamic vocals with extreme “attitude!” Ronnie’s guitar genius and legendary rock albums have earned him the title of “Rock and Roll Guitar Legend.” Picking up where Sammy left off is well-qualified singer/frontman Keith St. John. Keith has been cited by Montrose followers and indeed both Sammy and Ronnie as the one guy who can fill those shoes! .
