Hello Joey! Thank you for your time! We would
love for you to share with readers who may not know a little about your story
of where you started and where you are now.
Thanks for having me!
I started my musical journey when I was around
17 years old with guitar lessons and haven’t looked back.
I got started in what I would call the
recording sciences when I was around 13 years old and started getting paid to
record people and work in sound by the time I was 15 years old.
Music has always been an important part of the
Stuckey household with both my parents being music fans, but I never really
considered having a career in music as a child as I was focused on survival as
I am a brain tumor survivor.
The brain tumor took my sight, sense of smell
and also left me with a host of other health challenges, like no adrenal
function.
Despite these challenges I have been able to do
all the things I have wanted to do with my life and career.
I realized at an early age that music was a
beautiful force for positive change and that I would tell my story of
overcoming adversity through that vehicle!
Over the years, I have done many exciting things
and you ain’t seen nothing yet!
We just finished a great show at the famous
Whisky A Go Go and played some great GRAMMY parties in LA and I am about to
expand my studio space by around 9,000 square feet.
For someone just getting into the music business
– what is your best one line advice?
Don’t give up.
Trust yourself, but be willing to entertain other
people’s ideas and opinions.
Work hard.
In your opinion do you feel like an aspiring
musician needs to be in LA to “make it”?
You don’t have to live there, but you do need to
visit LOL. Of course where you should be depends upon a number of factors
including where your fans, or potential fans, are and other things you will
need to make your music/brand work. But you will have to go to LA and NYC and
Nashville at some point!
Okay so your live show looks like such a good
time from the snippets we have seen on IG – tell us what we can expect when we
come out to see you.
It is about 30% comedy and 70% music—and all
heart!
We promise to make you think but also to make you
groove, and we most certainly will entertain!
We love meeting new people and love shaking hands
and kissing babies, so come out to a show and we’ll be glad to meet you and
spend some time with you!
Do you have a song that you play every time you
do a live show no matter what, if so why that song?
We most always do “Take A Walk In The Shadows”
which was one of the first songs I ever wrote. It is a great opener with high
energy. We also almost always play another original called “Truth Is A Misty
Mountain” because it is a band and fan favorite. And we mostly close with the
Allman Brothers’ “Whippin’ Post” for the same reason—and our version is
cookin’!
If you could be remembered by only one song,
which one are you picking?
Oh man I don’t know. My answer will most likely
change depending upon the mood I am in LOL, but I think my song “Aint It Good
To Be In Love”, co-written by my dear friend Charlie Hoskyns, is a good one
that folks really have responded to. It is also dear to me because Charlie
passed away in 2017 and I like to think I am keeping his musical legacy alive!
Tell us where we can catch more of you online and
listed to your music!
