This presentation will encompass:
Okay, this is for those of you looking for something fabulous to do in our hometown over the next few weeks. Two outstanding and world class bands/artists are holding their debut release concerts in Macon and it is going to be amazing!
These are must attend events if you love good music.
First, long time middle Georgia favorites The Vineyard Band are releasing their first official recording called “Cheap Motel Rooms”.
This is real country folks--the kind that focuses on honest and real story telling. The recording is deceptively simple but extremely compelling, much like the last few albums made by Johnny Cash.
I want to take a moment like a proud father to say that Amber of The Vineyard has always been a great singer, but I have had the privilege over the last six months of hearing her really grow into her voice as her vocal coach and I am so excited for you to hear her now more than ever.
The Vineyard Band album release show will be at Grant's Lounge on March 11th at 8:30pm. There will be albums, T-shirts, coozies and stickers for sale. They will be performing the songs from the album in order plus other Vineyard Band music. The art of Thomas Sanders will be on display and prints of his work will be for sale.

For Immediate Release
Macon Blind Guitar Legend Joey Stuckey Working On New Blues Album Feat. Chuck Leavelle, Jimmy Hall and Renowned Producer Ross Hogarth
Macon, GA - Joey Stuckey is a blind guitarist, producer, educator, recording artist and media personality.
Born in Green Cove Springs FL, a city that has honored him with the key to the city and now residing in Macon GA, for whom he is the official music ambassador, Joey Stuckey is a power house of music talent. He has worked with icons from Alan Parsons to Ted Nugent and Joe Solo, producer of Macy Gray to Sammy Nestico, arranger of the Count Basie orchestra.
Last year saw him take on the UK where he toured and released his latest single “Blind Man Drivin'”. https://youtu.be/hkhLDuMj2t0
The song and it's accompanying video was a runaway hit and became the official theme song for the Visually Impaired Musicians Lives Conference, held at the University College of London where Stuckey was also a keynote speaker and performer.
While in the UK, Joey also became friends with research teams from Queen Mary University of London and Goldsmith's University and has worked with them extensively to improve music technology for the blind. As a blind person, a studio owner, producer and professor of music technology at Mercer University, this was a roll Stuckey took on with ease.

https://youtu.be/Gfi-bRIVMms
2016 is already shaping up to be a land mark year as Joey prepares to release the full length album “Blind Man Drivin'” in early summer.
Says Stuckey, “Music is the thing that makes me know I am a live. It is my spiritual bread and butter and the best way I know to encourage and provide comfort and inspiration to others, while at the same time entertaining and sharing stories about who I am. When I first started making my own music it was a combination of southern rock sensibilities mixed with bands like The Smiths and The Cure, I used to think of myself as the Morrissey of Macon. I have played a lot of jazz and my jazz album 'Mixture' was number 9 on the top 40 CMJ jazz charts for 5 weeks back in 2013, but, the thing that really seems to enthrall my audiences is blues and that is now what I am focused upon.”
And no wonder that blues is what Stuckey fans want to hear! With his versatile voice that can whisper or shout with equal alacrity and his guitar playing that can make one note cry or explode like a super nova with seemingly a thousand notes a second, blues is Stuckey's true calling.
To make this debut blues project truly memorable, Stuckey is working hard to gather old and new friends alike to add some truly one-of-a-kind performances.

Recording Connection mentor Joey Stuckey of Macon, Georgia, is an in-demand audio engineer, composer, producer and award winning guitarist who was inducted into the Atlanta Country Music Hall of Fame in 2012. He’s also been blind since early childhood. Earlier this year Joey had privilege of speaking and performing at the first ever Visually-Impaired Musicians’ Lives Conference (VIML) at the University of London. The conference was attended by researchers, educators, and visually-impaired musicians from around the world. Well that was the beginning of something momentous. Just a year ago, Joey was talking about the need for better, accessible interfaces for DAWs that enable the blind to do everything a sighted engineer can do. Now, Joey is at the forefront of making that change a reality! He’s connected with researchers from Goldsmith’s University and St. Mary’s University and is helping beta test the technologies that will even the playing field for all. MORE >>

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
International Technology Testing For Blind Musicians Comes To Macon
(Macon, GA) July 17, 2015 – In just a few days, technology testing for blind musicians will be coming to Macon. On Monday, July 20 and Tuesday, July 21 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. (both days), members of the media are invited to attend the installation of new technology at Shadow Sound Studio. The studio is located at 473 Third Street in downtown Macon.
Joey Stuckey, official music ambassador for the city of Macon and local award-winning blind producer at Shadow Sound Studio, will take part in this major international collaboration to assist blind musicians.
During Joey's recent tour of the U.K, where he spoke and performed at the University College of London and released his single ‘Blind Man Drivin,’ Joey was introduced to a wide network of music technology professionals, including the technology team from Goldsmiths University in London. The team is working to make music technology more accessible for the blind.
Adam Parkinson, one of the team’s researchers, is coming from the U.K to Macon! Parkinson will be installing the new technology at Shadow Sound Studio. The technology will allow Joey to continue to work on everything music and sound-related (similar to his sighted counterparts). The haptic control surface technology offers the ability to edit wave forms in the digital domain using hands instead of eyes - a technique which will improve the editing process for Joey’s production. This is the second project Joey has participated in since his trip to the U.K.
Joey also worked with Fiore Martin from Queen Mary University of London on the accessible peak meter, which is a computer plugin that plays a sound when the audio from a recording track goes above a user’s defined threshold: https://depic.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/apm/

Over 2,500 Advocates Will Rally in Liberty Plaza at
Americans with Disabilities Act 25th Anniversary Tribute March 5
Governor Nathan Deal’s Keynote Pledges Full ADA Compliance in Georgia
Plus Exclusive 17th Annual Disability Day Message from Congressman John Lewis
ATLANTA - More than 2,500 disability advocates and supporters are expected to attend the 17th Annual Disability Day at the Capitol rally hosted by the Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities (GCDD) on Thursday, March 5, at 11 am. Disability Day is among the largest public gatherings held each year when the Georgia General Assembly meets. Advocates travel from across the state to unite in support of legislation that will promote the independence, inclusion, productivity and self-determination of people with disabilities. The theme of this year’s event is “Fulfilling the Promise of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).”
“It sends a powerful message to have the participation of so many advocates and supporters of disability rights at this Rally, as we mark 25 years since passage of the ADA,” said GCDD Executive Director Eric Jacobson. “Each year, Disability Day at the Capitol grows in size and scope. We are particularly honored to have Governor Deal return and we are very proud to have the authentic Civil Rights voice of Congressman John Lewis speak to us about Social Justice, as only he can.” Congressman Lewis shares his personal family connection to disabilities in an exclusive Disability Day message.
Governor Nathan Deal will deliver the Keynote address and present an ADA Commendation which recommits Georgia to reach full ADA compliance. Mark Johnson, National Chair of the ADA Legacy Project (www.adalegacy.com) and Shepherd Center Advocacy Director, will speak about Disability Rights as Civil Rights, including the ADA Legacy Tour and campaign to spread the ADA message, “preserve,” “educate” and “celebrate,” throughout the nation. Rev. Susannah Davis, Pastor of Kirkwood United Church of Christ, will lead the audience in recognition of “fallen soldiers,” members of Georgia’s disability community who died within the last year. GCDD chair, Mitzi Proffitt will emcee with Jacobson throughout the Rally program which ends at 12:30 PM
Award-winning guitarist and vocalist Joey Stuckey (www.joeystuckey.com), the official Music Ambassador of Macon, will perform three standard selections: Star Spangled Banner acappella, Georgia on My Mind and This Little Light of Mine. He has studied a range of music genres with many accomplished professors and renowned musicians, including jazz guitarist Stanley Jordan. Stuckey lost his eyesight and sense of smell as an infant as result of a brain tumor and he developed an early love of music from his mother’s enthusiasm for opera and his father’s penchant for country and western. In addition to performing and managing his recording studio, Shadow Sounds Productions, Stuckey teaches music, delivers motivational talks and advocates for access to music education for blind children. His new single, Blind Man Drivin’, will be released during a 10-day tour of the UK later this month.
Closing the program, Rally leaders will rouse the crowd with chants promoting the themes of the day as they march past the Capitol to the Freight Depot.
One in five Americans lives with disabilities as an occurrence of birth, injury or longevity, representing one of the fastest growing socio-economic sectors in the country. Georgia has one million children and adults living with disabilities.
GCDD’s annual Disability Day at the Capitol is an opportunity for members of the disability community and their supporters to connect with each other, their elected officials and the broader community. This year’s focus on the ADA coincides with GCDD’s mission and legislative agenda for achieving inclusive communities, voting rights, access to education and jobs. GCDD’s 2015 legislative agenda includes:
Disability Day activities begin at 9 am at the Georgia Freight Depot with t-shirt pick-up, sign-making, exhibits, including accessible voting machine demonstrations, and signature collection for the official ADA Pledge (www.adaanniversary.org/pledge) for those who want to sign-up to actively recommit to the fulfillment of the ADA. The GCDD Public Policy Team will offer Advocacy 101 training beginning at 9:30 am followed by visits to the Capitol to meet legislators. Attendees will also have the opportunity to visit an ADA Exhibit in the Rotunda of the Capitol that will highlight the “preserve,” “educate,” and “celebrate” slogan of the National ADA Legacy Project and a table of source materials including current issues of GCDD’s quarterly news magazine, Making A Difference.
The 11 am Rally will take place in Liberty Plaza, the Capitol’s new “front door”, located at the intersection of Capitol Avenue and Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard.
About GCDD:
GCDD, a federally funded independent state agency, works to bring about social and policy changes that promote opportunities for persons with developmental disabilities and their families to live, learn, work, play and worship in Georgia communities. A developmental disability is a chronic mental and/or physical disability that occurs before age 22 and is expected to last a lifetime. Visit www.GCDD.org for more information.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Recording Artist Joey Stuckey Travels to the U.K.!
(Macon, GA) February 16, 2015 – Joey Stuckey, Macon’s music ambassador, will be travelling to London for a 10 day tour in just a few weeks. The tour will include a two-day conference for visually impaired musicians on March 10 and 11. Joey will be performing and speaking during the conference. His single, ‘Blind Man Drivin’ will be featured as the theme song of the conference and released at the trendy Ivey House in London on March 12.
The Visually-Impaired Musicians’ Lives conference will be held at the University of London’s School of Education. Their mission is to “bring together visually-impaired performers, music teachers (sighted and visually-impaired), researchers concerned with visual impairment and music, representatives from the music industry and organizations in this arena. It will address key issues surrounding the musical participation and learning of visually-impaired people, including: music education and lifelong learning; participation choices and approaches to music; the relationship between musical approaches, musical genre and sight; and how technologies are shaping the music-making of visually-impaired people. These will be explored through presentations and performances.”
For many years, Joey has worked to improve the lives of those around him through music. Working to further the mission of enhancing music education remains Joey’s top objective. The conference has given Joey the opportunity to share his passion for music education. “As a blind person and brain tumor survivor, I have some limitations physically. But I am so excited to share [personal] inspirational insights with the University of London and the Blind Musicians’ Lives Conference attendees. My talk about living a successful life as a blind person and brain tumor survivor, making music education accessible for everyone, and a performance of original songs will be the finale of the conference.”
Joey’s single, ‘Blind Man Drivin,’ is the theme song for the conference. According to Doctor David Baker from the University College of London’s Institute of Education, “Joey's participation reflects his great enthusiasm for bringing musicians together and supporting the interests of visually-impaired artists across the globe. We are honored that he has dedicated his new song "Blind Man Drivin" to this event too, which is attracting visually-impaired musicians, specialist music teachers, people working for visual impairment charities, and developers of accessible music technologies from across the world. “
‘Blind Man Drivin’ was written by one of Joey’s closest friends and collaborators, Henry Oliner, who also appears on the ‘Blind Man Drivin’ music video. The single will be officially released March 12 and the album with the same title will be released in September 2015.
While in London, Joey will be giving talks and performing at various venues. For more information about his tour, Gateway Macon will be featuring daily blogs and photos of Joey beginning March 9 through March 17.
