Chances are that if you are a true music enthusiast, especially of guitar-driven Southern\u00a0rock and blues, you have heard of Macon, Georgia’s official music ambassador Joey\u00a0Stuckey. The blind producer and recording artist launched a new music festival in his\u00a0hometown on September 29, 2017. The festival, \u201cJoey Stuckey\u2019s Alive Day,\u201d hosted an\u00a0array of talented musicians from across the state of Georgia. This free, family-friendly\u00a0event was held in celebration of the anniversary of Stuckey’s surviving brain tumor\u00a0surgery as a child. While the brain tumor left Stuckey blind and with other health\u00a0challenges, his parents started celebrating the anniversary of the successful removal of\u00a0the brain tumor as a way to turn what could have been a traumatic experience for a child into a triumphant experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Stuckey sees his \u201cAlive Day\u201d as a chance to connect with family, friends and fans and to\u00a0revel in the joy of living and music. It is a day dedicated to positivity and to uplifting the\u00a0community. The inaugural concert featured 8 artists, a variety of activities for families,\u00a0food trucks, perfect weather and over 500 music-lovers in attendance! Mayor Robert\u00a0Reichert honored Stuckey by issuing a proclamation naming September 29th \u201cJoey\u00a0Stuckey\u2019s Alive Day in Macon\/Bibb.\u201d The second annual festival in 2018 saw around 1500 attendees and this year\u2019s third annual festival will be taking place via Facebook Live due to COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Says Stuckey, \u201cThe outpouring of love and support is humbling. I am looking forward to this year\u2019s virtual festival!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
