"I think Joey is one of the most passionate and dedicated musician/songwriters I’ve met. He really gives each song he records everything he’s got. I’ve been a part of his projects off and on since 1998 or so and it’s always a thrill to work with such an incredible talent."
Recording Artist
"My god, your voice is a force of nature! It's as if Elton John and John Denver fused their voices and then drank heavily from the well-spring of soul music, and out leapt your singing voice, fully formed! Truly a pleasure to listen to your spine-tingly bluesy awesomeness, Joey!"

"What makes him unique as an engineer and producer is that he is a gifted musical artist that finds the soul of your song and figures out how to record it so that others feel it to."

"Joey's talent and technical expertise are matched only by his affable nature and generous spirit. Macon's music history is occasionally too weighty a mantle for new musicians to take up. I cannot think of anyone who wears that garment as comfortably as Joey Stuckey."

"Joey Stuckey's arrival, set up, performance and tear down went off perfectly without any issues. He and his band were by far the easiest musicians to work with, professional yet casual, and extremely aware of the audience regarding song selection. The set list could not have been chosen better and halfway through the very first song everyone in the Aquarium atrium was dancing along."
