The blind producer and recording artist launched a new music festival in his hometown on September 29, 2017. The festival, \u201cJoey Stuckey Alive Day,\u201d hosted an array of talented musicians from across the state of Georgia. This free, family-friendly event was held in celebration of the anniversary of Stuckey&#8217;s surviving brain tumor surgery as a child. While the brain tumor left Stuckey blind and with other health challenges, his parents started celebrating the anniversary of the successful removal of the 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<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stuckey sees his \u201cAlive Day\u201d as a chance to connect with family, friends and fans and to revel in the joy of living and music. It is a day dedicated to positivity and to uplifting the community. The inaugural concert featured 8 artists, a variety of activities for families, food trucks, perfect weather and over 500 music-lovers in attendance! Mayor Robert Reichert honored Stuckey by issuing a proclamation naming September 29th \u201cJoey Stuckey\u2019s Alive Day in Macon\/Bibb.\u201d The second annual festival in 2018 saw around 1500 attendees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Says Stuckey, \u201cThe outpouring of love and support is humbling. I am looking forward to this year\u2019s festival!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joey Stuckey new photo med res.jpg<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To learn more about Joey Stuckey&#8217;s Alive Day check out the Mayor&#8217;s proclamation:<br>Mayor&#8217;s Proclamation <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/nJrnnbsrQa0\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/nJrnnbsrQa0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.joeystuckey.com\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"www.joeystuckey.com\">www.joeystuckey.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Special thanks To Alive Day Sponsors:<br>Creek FM<br>Macon Arts<br>Mojave Audio<br>Shadow Sound Studio<br>Visit Macon<br>13WMAZ<br>Boyles Guitars<br>BWH Music Group<br>Fatty\u2019s Pizza<br>Glass Onyon PR<br>Greenspoon Marder<br>Doug Nurnberger Photography<br>Skin Care Physicians of Georgia<br>Sweetwater<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join Macon\/Bibb in celebrating by mayoral proclamation the 6th Annual Joey Stuckey Alive Day Friday,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20995,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23,2],"tags":[325],"class_list":["post-20994","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music-news","category-news","tag-joey-stuckey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20994","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20994"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20994\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20996,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20994\/revisions\/20996"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20995"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20994"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
