A man of many talents, Joey Stuckey is not only a Mercer graduate and professor of Music Technology at Mercer, but he is also a nationally recognized musician. Stuckey has released over six albums, has opened for several big name bands and is also the official music ambassador for Macon.

To celebrate the release of his newest album, Stuckey will be performing at Amici in Mercer Landing March 29. He will be performing new music from his album at this release party.

The new album, titled “In the Shadow of the Sun,” has a Progressive Americana feel, Stuckey said.

“It covers country, roots, blues, jazz and progressive rock. There is certainly a heavy element of southern influences with a fairly strong blues base,” Stuckey said.

Stuckey’s agent said that there will be an opportunity to sign up to be a part of Stuckey’s mailing list and be entered to win a Morley GTR pedal valued at $280.

The music will start around 8 p.m. at Amici and the concert will last until 11 p.m. Fans will be able to listen to his music while also enjoying the food at Amici. Fans of Stuckey will also be able to purchase CDs and other merchandise at the release party.

“(There will be) CDs and T-shirt’s with my avatar, which is a blind stick figure with a giant guitar—his name is Blink,” Stuckey said. “We also have buttons, download cards and we are hoping that our vinyl order will arrive in time.”

Before the concert begins, fans will have the opportunity to buy this merchandise and have it autographed by Stuckey. If they cannot make it before 8 p.m., Stuckey is also staying a little after the show to sign autographs and other various merchandise items.

The concert will be free for students, and Stuckey welcomes anyone and everyone to come on down to Amici to listen to his new music and have a great night!
