The Tom’s Tunes Singers have been performing together since 2003.

The Tom’s Tunes singers perform an action-packed variety of Oldies, Country, Polka, and Rock and Roll. They sing songs from the 1940’s to the 2020’s. They mix it up and love to engage the audiences in our songs.

The Tom’s Tunes Singers is made up of a group of friends who love to sing. Years ago they decided to form a group to entertain at local nursing homes as a way to give back to the community while doing the thing they love best: singing. We have been singing and expanding our goals to include other venues for years.  Tom, Jim, Kathy, and Rich sing.  Kathy also runs the computer programs; Judy is the program developer and music advisor while performing as “The Head Of Security” for Toms Tunes.

Optional:  Dress up in your favorite sock hop attire, or just come and enjoy Toms Tunes!

Sleeping Through the Ages
The Importance of Sleep on Brain Health-Sleep is an important part of your daily routine—in fact you spend about one-third of your life doing it! Quality sleep – and getting enough of it at the right times — is as essential to survival as food and water. Without sleep you can’t form or maintain the pathways in your brain that let you learn, create new memories, concentrate and respond quickly. Sleep also plays a key housekeeping role that removes toxins in your brain that build up while you are awake. This presentation will highlight the importance of restorative sleep and how to set up a sleep routine to gain maximum sleep benefits – at all ages!
