Meet "The Young at Heart Kazoo Band!"

This seniors' group is based in Houston and are actually performing before a screening of YOUNG@HEART in that city - check out their online profile at FoxSearchlight.com.

From their profile:

Our seniors formed their own kazoo band over 5 years ago, “The Hampton Young at Heart Kazoo Band." Our band members’ ages range from 75 to 99 years young. They enjoy performing and contributing back to their community and
city. Last year, the Band debuted their first CD recording. Our Kazoo Band has performed for over 12,000 youngsters and those who are “young at heart” all over the Houston area.

(Pictured: Three of the musical group's members at a party celebrating their CD's release.)

Tonight we went to see Young at Heart at the Little Theatre in Rochester, NY. and had a chance to hear the musical director, Bob Silman. What a great evening we had! I want everyone in our Sweden Senior Chorus to see this movie.

my mom is moving to Northhampton and absolutely loves to sing, and at 80, is very, very young at heart. is there a phone/address where she can contact you to maybe audition/join the group?

How do I contact this AWESOME group to come and sing for my residents at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Virginia Beach VA. I only wish I could be part of the group but I am not old enough.

I would love to buy a DVD for the group. I saw them on TV and it "blew me away". But to hear them without seeing them takes something away, I think. Please let me know if a DVD will be coming out. Thanks.

I saw you guys on "Leno" the other night and instantly fell in love with you all. That is the most beautiful thing I have seen in ages.
Thank you all!!

amen! God bless each of you.

That was beautiful, fun and enlightening. Thank you, Hampton Young at Heart Kazzoo Band, for teaching us how to live. Rock on!

Thank you so much for touching me with your sweetness this morning!! I take care of the elderly in my chosen profession, I know deep inside their silence they have a song. I am so proud of each one of you.

I gained a new appreciation for my kids music when I heard this group. I bought their CD and I have "saved" the DVD on Netflix. Wonderful! Inspirational!

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!

awesome and inspirational. old age does not mean that one forget how to live.
