Gary Hoey coming to the Chicago area

As we enter the season of giving, Gary Hoey knows how to give more than just a rocking performance - he also gives to those in need.

In the past Hoey has given his time and efforts during his annual 'Ho! Ho! Hoey Rockin' Holiday Tour'  to working with the Connecticut Children's Hospital, the New Hampshire Food Bank's "Lend A Helping Can" food drive, Toys for Tots with the Marine Corps, and he's held guitar auctions for the Boys & Girls Club in Visalia, CA raising over $25,000.

Now our rock and roll Santa is about to do it all over again.

Beginning this Sunday with the 2nd Annual Rock the Waves with Gary Hoey cruise where he'll jam his way through Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta, and Cabo San Lucas, the guitar-great then heads over to some far less favorable weather in the Midwest toward the end of the month.

More information can also be found on Gary Hoey's MySpace page.

And if you feel inspired by Hoey and would like to donate some time in the Chicago-area check out The Christopher Zorich Foundation, The Greater Chicago Food Depository, Chicago Canine Rescue, Little Brothers Friends of the Elderly, Tree House Humane Society, and
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metropolitan Chicago.  More organizations can be found here.
