Rock The Vets Helps CVC Start Our Own Rock Band

On Saturday, August 27th, residents and guests of Century Villages at Cabrillo were treated to a wonderful afternoon of classic Rock and Roll music by the talented Rock The Vets group, made up of a group of Veterans receiving services from the Long Beach VA and a few professional musicians from nonprofit organization, The Rock Club, Music is the Answer. Also performing was the American Gold Star Mothers Choir who sang several songs to the delight of the audience hanging out on CVC’s Grand Lawn. The performance was a showcase meant to let CVC residents know about a music therapy program being started by CVC to encourage our community to come together through music. The Village Jam, as the group will be called, will be coached by professional musicians who will come to the CVC campus weekly to lead jam sessions and help the group develop their own sound. This pilot program is being funded directly by Century Villages at Cabrillo and with generous donations from Walton Construction, Walton Electric, and Gayton Painting contractors who are currently working on the Anchor Place development. CVC has purchased drums, guitars, speakers, microphones, and amplifiers for the group with the hope that the band will continue to grow and evolve and be a regular feature at our community events. By the end of the day, we had signed up 23 would-be musicians for the Village Jam on September 9th. Stay tuned for future updates.
