Feek, who resides in Tennessee, has been known to travel frequently between states for speaking engagements, musical performances, and appearances related to his writing and family life.
In recent years, he has also become a best-selling author and a documentary filmmaker, sharing his journey of grief and healing following the loss of his wife.
He has spoken candidly about raising his daughter Indiana as a single father, and about the way music and storytelling have helped him move forward while keeping Joey’s legacy alive.
