Chester County native entertains seniors at Woodbridge Place

PHOENIXVILLE » On Thursday,

the residents of Woodbridge Place, 1191 Rapps Dam Road, were treated to a performance highlighting the history of New Orleans music, hosted by keyboardist CR Gruver.

A Chester County native himself, Gruver took time away from his Northeastern tour to prepare an engaging program focused on the music he performs with his band, The New Orleans Suspects.

He was delighted to share his passion with the seniors of the Phoenixville landmark in an hour-long concert that allowed personal and memory care residents to immerse themselves for another day in the Mardi Gras way.

Although now a local to the Metairie community in Louisiana, Gruver has not forgotten his roots and the town that has supported his path to success.

Gruver, a 1988 graduate of Conestoga High School in Berwyn, is a professional full-time musician living in New Orleans.
