Tennyson Senior Living Community is hosting two live music events in October and neighborhood elders are encouraged to come as guests. 

Friday, Oct. 18, Jesse Walker brings his guitar and cowboy hat to entertain with traditional country music. The hour-long program starts at 3:45 pm.

Walker was in high school when he began playing in bands and recording music. At 18, he joined the Clossey Brothers country band and went on the road. He’s been entertaining ever since, and has recorded more than a dozen albums. More information is available at broadjam.com/jessewalker1.

Thursday, Oct. 31, Tom Kastle is a ballad singer, songwriter, storyteller and a tall ship captain to boot. He’s performed with his guitar internationally. The hour-long program starts at 3:30 pm. 

In addition to performing maritime songs, Kastle works on stage, film and television, including a short documentary that was nominated for an Emmy Award. He also records original songs based mostly on traditional fiddle tunes. More information is available at tomkastle.com.

Free and open to elders, both programs will be hosted in the large community dining room on the main floor at Tennyson Senior Living Community, 1936 Tennyson Lane. Parking is available in front of the building, behind the building and on the street. RSVPs are appreciated but not required. Call 608-268-5499.
