Therapeutic Troubadour
Comforting those who need it the most
Denny enjoys performing therapeutic music for clients with special needs. Music is an incredibly moving, stimulating and powerful force. It brings happiness, peace and reminiscence to the people who need it the most. Many of Denny's instrumental pieces are soothing and comforting to the people he visits living in assisted living facilities or hospitals. Some enjoy hearing soft, inspiring sounds. Some enjoy Blues pieces, and even like to improvise vocally or on other instruments to what he plays. It is also comforting for the health care workers to listen during their routine.
