Senior sing-alongs that bring back memories
A fun, one-hour live performance can bring a smile to your residents’ faces, especially those who are chronically ill or living with dementia. I promise a lot of singing and tons of laughs!
Murfreesboro, Tennessee, about 25 miles south of Nashville
“Chris has a genuine love for “the greatest generation” and brings joy, laughter, and happiness with each event. For over 15 years, he has served the assisted living and memory care communities creating meaningful and engaging performances and sing-alongs. With every song that is sung, hymn that is prayed, and every note played, Chris has the unique ability to unlock the memories of all. Chris’ energy is infectious. He is kind and focused. He makes each person he interacts with feel special.”
Dynamic, personal and a lot of fun
Live entertainment boosts the mood of residents and staff alike. My programs encourage residents to sing and move along to:
- Top hits from the ’20s to the ’70s
- Country and folk songs
- Old-time hymns
- Songs that encourage movement
- Patriotic, seasonal and holiday favorites
I sing and play guitar, ukulele or piano (depending on the occasion) along with an elaborate foot-percussion set-up.
A former activity director
I’ve worked in senior living communities for over 15 years and was an activity director for many of those years. I’ve hired dozens of entertainers, so I know what a good performance and performer look like, and what gets seniors engaged.
An hour of musical fun that makes a difference
- A professional with over 15 years of experience entertaining seniors, both clinically and for fun.
- I empathize with our growing senior population.
- High-energy performances that get residents moving, singing, clapping their hands and stomping their feet.
- I stay current with the oldies.
- Guitar, ukulele and piano, plus an elaborate foot-percussion set-up.
- My PA system sounds great, and I’m sensitive to the volume.
- I am always on time. (So far!)
- I love performing for seniors!

Chris’ talents when working with elderly Alzheimer’s patients is nothing short of miraculous. His musical talent, both playing the guitar and piano, as well as singing, make his programs a site of laughter, participation, and fond memories. It is amazing to observe residents who spend much of the day withdrawn from interaction suddenly come alive: hands clapping, sitting upright, laughing, and interacting with each other. Chris plays a perfect selection of songs: old stand-by-hymns, songs from another era, as well as some quirky modern songs that have become favorites. Each song resonates with so many of those present. Music touches the hearts and memories of those residents in ways that nothing else can. It is a gift.
