Rock ‘n’ Roll concert cures isolation blues

April 14, 2020 By Christine Holtzman

With the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic changing the routines of everyday life, the Keystone Place at Terra Bella senior living community, at 2200 Livingston Road in Land O’ Lakes, came up with a creative way to safely engage and entertain its residents. To help reduce isolation during these challenging times, the community hired The Boomer Band to perform oldies from a flatbed trailer that was being pulled around the property. Many residents enjoyed the concert from the comfort of their apartment balconies.

From a flatbed trailer in the parking lot, The Boomer Band, a Pinellas County-based, two-piece pop/dance band, entertains the residents of the Keystone Place at Terra Bella senior living community on April 3. The senior living community hired keyboard/vocalist Kevin de Champlain and drummer/vocalist Vance Fontanella, to safely engage and entertain its residents, who have been isolated due to the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

The Boomer Band perform a Fats Domino hit for the residents of the memory care unit at the Keystone Place at Terra Bella senior living community. Many of the residents listened from the comfort of their apartment balconies. The community hired the band to safely engage and entertain the residents during the COVID-19 pandemic.
