🎉🎶2 weeks from today at Mill Hill Community Arts Center in Macon, Ga!
Hey Stuckeyverse! It’s Joey Here! 🌟

I’m beyond excited to announce that the 7th Annual Joey Stuckey Alive Day Music Festival is happening on Saturday, October 4, 2025, at the Mill Hill Community Arts Center (213 Clinton Street, Macon, GA). Doors open at 5:30 PM and the music jam kicks off at 6 PM! 🕡🎤
This festival is close to my heart as it’s a celebration of life, resilience, and the power of music! Alive Day honors my victory over a childhood brain tumor (spoiler alert: it didn’t win 😉). In 2017, Macon’s mayor and city council officially proclaimed Joey Stuckey Alive Day, and now each year we gather to celebrate not just my story, but everyone’s triumphs over adversity. 🙌
We’ve got an incredible lineup this year! 🎶 At 6 PM, the amazing Tom Rule takes the stage, followed by my set with the talented Charles Arnold at 7 PM. Then at 8 PM, don’t miss a special songwriters-in-the-round showcase featuring Georgia music legends Caroline Aiken, Diane Durrett, and Liz Melendez!
For those who don’t know me, I’m Macon’s official music ambassador-a blind guy who started this festival back in 2017 as a joyful way to turn a tough chapter into a celebration. Since then, it’s grown into a community tradition filled with music, food trucks, and unforgettable memories.
From 500 attendees in our very first year to 1,500 by year two, the love and support from this community has been overwhelming. I can’t wait to feel the energy and joy you bring this year! 😄
Let’s crank up the joy together and make this Alive Day one to remember!

We recently took a look at the Yamaha Subkick, a favorite for capturing those ultra-low frequencies on kick drum.
But that’s not the only tool in our arsenal. We also have the Drum Workshop Inc. (DW Drums) Moon Mic. DW’s take on the subkick concept. Just like the Yamaha, it’s designed to capture the deep, chest-rattling low end that standard kick drum mics often miss. It’s another great option in the studio for when you want that extra weight and power in your drum sound.
👉 Between the Subkick and the Moon Mic, we’ve got the low-end covered!

🎶 Big things are happening at Shadow Sound Studio! Not only do we provide world-class recording right here in Macon, GA, but our own Joey Stuckey is also helping shape the future of music as a Governor of the Recording Academy for the Atlanta Chapter (NARAS).
Of course, people know that NARAS brings music’s biggest night to the world in the form of the GRAMMYS, but it does so much more, including advocating to the US government for bills that serve the greater music community, and through the Music Cares program, assists musicians and music communities with financial support, like during the LA fires.
That same passion for music and artists is at the heart of what we do every day at Shadow Sound Studio. Whether you’re laying down your first demo or your next record, you’ll be in a space guided by someone committed to championing musicians on both a local and national level.
✨ Come record where music and advocacy meet.

The Yamaha Subkick is all about capturing what traditional kick mics miss, those sub-harmonic frequencies living between 100–200 Hz. At Shadow Sound Studio, we notch out everything above 70 Hz to really let that low-end bloom.
Not just for kick drums: the Subkick shines on bass guitar, synths, and even grand piano for when you want low end you can feel, not just hear.
