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.
