Joyful Noise Music Therapy by Kalifornia Karl

10.23.17

Orange County native and musician, Karl Detken has performed since he was 13 years old in TV shows, in the film, “Duets” starring Gwyneth Paltrow, and was even a Star Search winner. Today he lives for bringing joy to retirees, seniors and hospital patients who are hurt or are healing-----with Kalifornia Karl's Joyful Noise Music Therapy.. "Each performance has something magical in it," Detken said. "Last week a daughter of one of the patients came up to me afterwards and started crying and said it was the first time she had seen her mother laugh and smile in 20 years. I hear stories like that constantly."

From a massive library of 30,000 backing tracks he plays his guitar and sings music from every decade and style; from Bing Crosby to Bruno Mars, from Pharell to Platters, he has it all.

"We use engaging activities like sing along on-screen lyrics, audience tambourines/maracas/echo microphones & funny wigs/props. I call it 'Engagetainment.'" Detken said. "We add a dose of joy to life in a healthcare or retirement community.”
