Song Memories With Noel & Dana
Leading engaging, energetic and unique song memory programs.
Treat your audience to Noel & Dana's unique, engaging and fun programs of "crowd favorite" songs from the 1800's through the 1960/70's - as well as a smattering of current songs. Noel & Dana bring a "Sonny and Cher" type banter of story telling and interaction to their songs -- engaging the audience and inspiring happy memories of their lives.
Noel & Dana bring a unique energy, sound, and engagement - and can set up anywhere (bringing their own battery-operated sound equipment - no electric plugs needed). These programs feature only live music (no backing tracks or recordings) and feature both a foot-operated percussion tool known as a "stomp box" and sometimes a tuba. |

Review by Activity Director of Memory Care Residence
"Our most favorite musicians!!Noel and Dana are spectacular!! What fun! I've had 5 years’ worth of experience trying to get musical acts for our diverse residents and finding really great music that actually connects, stimulates, entertains, and brings our residents (and staff!) joy! Noel and Dana have very dynamic abilities and are responsive to how the audience is reacting. Some of my residents have very significant ambulatory, cognitive, or communication difficulties and they know exactly how to appropriately engage each person with dignity. Between all the different instruments, passing a sing-along mic, and the varied ways they employ sound, language, storytelling, they are superb! I'd also add that they are great with communication, scheduling, timeliness, and preparation. I know I can count on them (other performers have been flaky, canceling very last minute, or arriving unprepared). They also know so many eras of music! It is really important that they know so many classics of the 40s, 30s, and older (as well as modern music and holiday songs)! My residents are able to access lyrics, tunes, and memories that leave us all in awe every performance. In the past I have paid music therapists that were incredibly expensive . . . and they (and their music) did not connect in any regard like Noel and Dana can . . .
Noel and Dana above all are warm and caring, touching our hearts. Life and what is often inexpressible is made tangible once again through Dana and Noel's music. I could not be more grateful. Give them a try!"
