The Press recently caught up with local resident Joey Tucciarone, a third-year clinical psychology student at East Tennessee State University who is currently working on his Ph.D. Tucciarone, 36, said he began October 5, 2017 working on his doctorate with the aim of helping the “hard-toreach, socioeconomically vulnerable, or otherwise underserved populations.” He’s currently working on a thesis exploring the possible relationship between childhood adversity and homelessness in Northeast Tennessee.

But Tucciarone is also a longtime local musician who has played in a variety of bands over Volume 97 - No. 37 johnsoncitypress.com the years. After playing in a string of bands with eclectic influences, Tucciarone said he is looking forward to his debut with his new band, the Meanwhilers, who are set to play the Hideaway on Sept. 28.

How do you find the time for music?

“At the expense of sounding trite, I’m a dad and husband above all other things.

When things get ridiculously stressful and $1.00 Tri-Cities, I’m walking around in aTennessee state of panic for days at a time, it gets too easy to lose sight of that, hence the need for self-care. I’ve populated my bubble with an abundance of passions, hobbies and distractions — all of which have to be occasionally sidelined for the greater good. It’s a very delicate balancing act.”
