Award Winning
Blind Guitarist Joey Stuckey To Release New EP
10/29/2009 -
Macon, GA - You can't travel down south without hearing someone rave about
guitarist, vocalist, songwriter, radio and TV personality Joey Stuckey, who
holds the distinction of being the Official Ambassador of Music for Macon,
Georgia (home of the 'southern sound'). Joey Stuckey is an award-winning blind
guitarist, songwriter, singer, composer, producer, radio & TV personality, music
columnist, inspirational speaker, educator and sound engineer. Joey's guitar
style is reminiscent of rocker Jeff Beck and a jazzier Wes Montgomery, while his
vocal influences range from Mel Torme to Gregg Allman. He has also worked with
the likes of Hughie Thomasson (from Lynyrd Skynard and the Outlaws), David
Ragsdale (from Kansas and The Smashing Pumpkins), Randall Bramblett (from
Traffic, Steve Winwood Band and Gregg Allman Band), Carol King and Ike Turner to
name a few. After three critically acclaimed rock releases ('Take A Walk In The
Shadows', 'Ironies, Pain and the Light That Guides', 'So Far') Joey is gearing
up for the release of his new jazz and blues tinged EP release 'Oceanside'.
"This little
jazz EP is four tunes that have been laying around for about two years now,"
says Joey. "I recorded them just when I had some time for myself, not very often
as I work so much for others. Anyway, The EP is called 'Oceanside' and is a
little slice of summer magic. The music is all reminiscent of the beach and easy
living. Just in time for the cold winter of 2009 comes some bright and warm
sunshine courtesy of jazz music." (Along with the release of 'Oceanside',
Stuckey will be re-releasing as a download his second CD 'Ironies, Pain and the
Light That Guides'.
Stuckey lost
his sight and sense of smell as an infant as the result of a brain tumor.
Despite these limitations, he remained in mainstream education. Scholastically
outstanding, Joey Stuckey graduated from high school at the age of 14. At the
age of 17 he began his musical career by taking classical guitar lessons from
noted music professor Terry Cantwell. Joey continued his musical education by
studying with renowned jazz guitarist Stanley Jordan. "I love my rock and roll
and in fact I am working on a new rock EP, 'Seven Songs In Seven Days' but, jazz
studies is really important to me. I feel like music is the language of the
angels and in jazz, I feel that we really have the best exploration of that
language. Of course, you can imagine how great it was to study with a jazz
legend like Stanley Jordan. We met when we were both on tour in MA. He does some
amazing things with the technique known as tapping, I haven't ever developed
that skill to his level and probably won't, but, learning from him was a real
privilege that I am thankful for. I teach music as well and use some of the
practice suggestions he gave me to this day with my own students."
As well as
being featured in many national and international media publications including
PRI's "The World", GPB's "Georgia Gazette", and "Big Takeover Magazine", Joey
has won several outstanding awards in music. "I am very honored to have been
recognized for the hard work I have put in to my craft of music composing,
recording and entertaining. I have won the jazz artist of the year almost every
year since 2000, though Ben Tucker beat me one year and rightly so. I have also
received the EA-TV lifetime achievement award for my work with internet radio
and TV promoting indie artists, and even the Cotton Carrier Award from the
Atlanta Country Music Hall of Fame, for my contribution to the music industry of
GA. I also got the Ray Melton Music Man Award for my work supporting music in my
home town of Macon. there are many more, but, these are some of the ones I am
most proud of."
"Dude, youre
the greatest!" - Chuck Leavell (Keyboardist for the Rolling Stones, Allman
Brothers and Eric Clapton)
Joey Stuckey
and his band have opened for legendary artists like Ted Nugent, Bad Company,
Trisha Yearwood, James Brown, Clarence Carter, Wet Willie, the B-52's, Kevin
Kinney from Drivin' N Cryin, and Smashmouth. In his other roles as either
producer, composer, music columnist, and sound engineer or hired musician,
Stuckey has worked with musical greats like Hughie Thomasson (from Lynyrd
Skynard and the Outlaws) "Huey Thomason from the Outlaws played on one track on
my first CD 'Take A Walk In The Shadows'," Joey relates. "What a great player he
is, he is missed. I was the second engineer on his last album, 'Diablo Canyon'
and got to know him well then." Stuckey has also worked with the likes of Jimmy
Herring (from The Aquarium Rescue Unit, Frog Wing, The Allman Brothers Band, and
The Others/Grateful Dead), Danny Seraphin (drummer from supergroup Chicago and
currently with California Transit Authority-CTA), Hamp Swain (the Original King
Bee), comedian Tim Wilson, Allen Vizzuti (from Chick Corea, Doc Severinson
Orchestra, and Chuck Mangione), Doyle Dykes, Connie Haines (from Harry James and
The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra), Chris Hillman (from the Byrds and Desert Rose
Band), Jerry Peake (bassist for Steve Morse Band), Ben Tucker (Herbie Mann, Mel
Torme), John Dunn (Earth, Wind, and Fire), Jimmy Hall (from Wet Willie, Hank
Williams, Jr., and the Nighthawks), Charlie Daniels, George McCorkle (from
Marshall Tucker Band), Razzy Bailey, Sammy Nestico (composer/arranger for Frank
Sinatra and the Count Basie Orchestra).
"For anyone who
doesn't know it yet, Joey is one of the most amazing guitarists I know." - Ian
Copeland - IRS Records
Stuckey is also
the owner and sound engineer of a recording facility in Macon called Shadow
Sound Studio (www.shadowsoundstudio.com)
which boasts vintage analog gear and state-of-the-art digital technology. "I
started when I was 13, but, didn't get a real studio until the mid 90's," says
Joey. "Some of the folks I worked with are mentioned above, but, I have also
recorded for Ron Lester, an actor, in the movies Good Burger and Varsity Blues,
we did a comedy album, I actually wrote the music to some songs he did. Of
course Randall Bramblett, ARC recording artist Miguel Castro, The Outlaws, Percy
Welch, who played with little Richard, John Lee Hooker... And Chris Hicks, of
Marshal Tucker, and many more!" Stuckey is the adaptive technology correspondent
for Dialogue Magazine which is a publication dedicated to the needs of the
blind. 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).
"...A
phenomenal effort from a man truly blessed by God. Throughout my years in
various bands, recording studios, concerts, radio stations, etc., I have come
across many unsigned bands and artists who think they are the best. And we have
all seen who the mainstream radio and media tout as the best. But I'm here today
to tell you that Joey Stuckey really is the best." Reviewer: Michael Walenceus
In short, Joey
Stuckey is a young man with an enormous talent, clear vision, and a tireless
work ethic who is well respected by his peers, fans, and even a few legends.
