The article recounts the story of Joe Anastasi, a musician whose life changed on May 23, 2024, when he lost hearing in his second ear. Despite undergoing two cochlear implants and facing emotional and financial challenges, he aspires to return to performing music. Anastasi's experiences inspired a new play titled 'Turn Up the Volume', debuting from March 14-16, 2024, where he is portrayed in a one-man show. Support for his journey is available through a GoFundMe page to assist with lost income and other expenses.
The show, largely in words Anastasi spoke to the journalist and playwright, describes his personal journey as a musician, husband, father, and friend.
He’s a fighter, Lisa Gandia, booking agent and publicist for Anastasi of Face First and Kiss Nation, told Newsday. He’s not a quitter.
