Greetings!Â
I am a singer and guitar player who performs acoustic music programs for senior communities across Connecticut. I play popular songs from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s that remind residents of their youth. My favorite part of this work is how residents light up when they recognize a song and sometimes even sing along!
I’ve performed at:
Masonicare (Mystic, Rocky Hill, Wallingford)
Apple Rehab (Saybrook, Cromwell, Kensington)
Civita (Cheshire, Newington, Milford)
Complete Care (Middlebury and Kimberly Hall)
Mary Wade (New Haven)
Buckingham Heights (Glastonbury)
Whitney Center (Hamden)
Addison Place (Glastonbury)
Evergreen Woods (Branford)
Holiday White Oaks (Farmington)
My "Senior Songs" journey...
...began through volunteer work with older adults. In 2025, I founded Senior Songs with Paul through persistent outreach, relationship building, social media marketing, and the creation of engaging programs designed for senior communities.
What I enjoy most about this work is making meaningful connections, sharing joy, awakening memories, and encouraging socialization through music.

🎤 More About Me:
Instagram: paul_a_franklin_music
"Paul’s acoustic guitar playing has become something far greater than just entertainment—it’s a steady source of warmth, connection, and emotional uplift within the Care Center at Cheshire. You can see it in how residents respond—smiling, tapping along, sometimes even singing. For many, it sparks memories and emotions that might otherwise stay quiet.
Beyond the music itself, Paul’s consistency and care make a difference. He isn’t just performing; he’s engaging. That human connection—taking the time to be present, to read the room, to play what people need in the moment—Paul’s contribution stands out. His guitar doesn’t just fill the room with sound—it helps fill it with happiness, comfort, and a sense of belonging. We're very lucky to have him."
