The Impact of a Heart & Soul show

Denver Street Irregulars perform for residents at Pine Creek Rehab and Nursing.

Dear Heart &Soul,

My name is Phil Hansen and I work at Pine Creek Nursing and Rehab (formerly Westside). I have been here for 15 years. During many of those years Heart & Soul have come to entertain my residents and staff. I thought I was having them come to help give some entertainment, and a break during the day. I was wrong. They have been very entertaining! They have given a break from the normal day. My residents love listening to the music. BUT that is a very very small piece of what all of the performers have done. Let me explain.

Warm wishes from the heart (and soul)

Maybe you’re not a musician. Maybe you don’t have time to serve on a board of directors. Maybe you don’t have family in a care facility. But, just as people in big cities know the value of wilderness, and just as people without animal companions know the value of having a pet, every human spirit knows the healing power of live music.

Enjoy the tunes, help bring more!

Heart & Soul was started in 1994 when siblings, Doug Jenson and Janna Lauer saw the isolation and loneliness their mother suffered upon entering a rehabilitation facility due to a broken hip complicated with dementia. Their mother had been the musical center of their family - and they knew that music was the language that helps to transcend loneliness and that brings us all together.
