Joey Stuckey is an award-winning blind guitarist, songwriter, singer, composer, producer, radio and television personality, music columnist, educator and sound engineer. He is also the official music ambassador for his home town of Macon Georgia.
As an infant, Joey lost his sight and sense of smell as the result of a brain tumor and was introduced to music from an early age. His mother enjoyed opera, while his dad enjoyed country music. When he was 13, Stuckey developed pneumonia and eventually had to be home schooled for an entire year.
Despite his physical limitations, Joey has flourished in every aspect of his life. He released several albums, including ‘Take A Walk In The Shadows’ (1995), ‘Ironies, Pain And The Light That Guides’ (1999), ‘Live And Stuff,’ (2000), ‘Live And More Stuff,’ (2001), ‘So Far,’ (2003), ‘Oceanside,’ (2009), ‘The Shadow Sound,’ (2011), ‘Mixture’ (2012) and ‘The Acoustic Sessions, Volume I’ (2014). Joey experienced national success with the launch of ‘Mixture,’ which reached #9 on the CMJ Top 40 Jazz Charts for North America.
Joey is currently involved with students, instructing them on guitar, voice, music theory, and sound engineering. He is the professor of Music Technology at Mercer University and an official mentor for the Recording Connections School in Los Angeles. No stranger to musical theater, he was the music director for Macon State College’s production of ‘The Rocky Horror Show’ in the fall of 2002. Recently, Joey has taken on the role of music publisher and has a growing catalog of great songs in multiple genres. His publishing companies include Sociology Publishing (BMI) and Sign Wave Publishing (ASCAP).
