About Joey Stuckey:
When you hear Joey Stuckey sing - you can hear generations of influences in his piercing tenor that has Southern “grit” to it. Joey sings from his guts as he always has since his first vocalizations as a child - now an award-winning songwriter, producer and exciting live performer. When you hear Joey play the guitar you hear the influence of Jimi, Jeff, Duane along with a collection of many other musicians who have influenced Joey to be the outrageous and dynamic player he is today. He plays with fire, passion and a deep commitment to being authentic to his Southern roots and his love of music from rock to classical to blues, folk, Americana, alternative and jazz. You hear a world of music in his guitar playing. When you hear a track that Joey has produced, you hear performers unleashed and empowered to do their best. Joey doesn’t live in a world of limitations. He lives in a world of possibility and potential. Despite losing his sight and his sense of smell as an infant (as the result of a brain tumor), nothing stops Joey from pursuing his life and his music.

Joey has taught, guest-lectured and done special presentations at colleges, universities, schools, churches and various organizations all over the world. His ability to connect with people and to draw on his experiences has endeared him to generations of students, teachers and thought leaders.
