Senior Outreach Program One of Heather's favorite audiences is seniors. She delights in bringing her music programs to assisted living facilities, senior centers and nursing homes. Often these facilities have limited entertainment budgets, so Heather has substantially reduced her rate for these venues, so the experience and enjoyment of live music is accessible to a well-deserving generation. Americana Music Journey is the most popular program for seniors, who get to sing songs that have remained popular in American culture for generations.

PROGRAM REVIEWS
I want to recommend singer/guitarist Heather Mulvey. She is a wonderful performer who has been visiting our library for years. Every St. Paddy's Day week we invite her to present her "Celtic Music Journey" program. She plays acoustic guitar beautifully and sings angelically! Very nice, peaceful family program. Very sweet young lady. Our patrons adore her. Also, she came one summer to perform "Animal Songs Sing-a-long" for our kids. This was a little rowdier and a lot of fun! I plan on asking her to come to our library this winter to do holiday music. You won't be disappointed if you hire her! Jen Williams Milltown Public Library
Heather Mulvey performed for the 10th Anniversary Celebration of the Ocean County Library Little Egg Harbor Branch. The audience enjoyed the program, Animal Songs Sing Along. Heather's interaction with the audience encouraged the youth to sing along and enjoy the show! Donna Majchrzak Ocean County Little Egg Harbor Library
