About Me
I'm Chrisy Covell, the founder of Brain Engaging Enterprises, LLC. My silent partner here is my dog Dolly Parton. I'm a professional musician, a former nationally touring comedian, an experienced program manager, educator, and have had designation as a Certified Dementia Practitioner. I have years of experience with clients living with both early on-set and late stage dementia, as well as early on-set Parkinson's.Experience, Creativity & a Personal TouchMy professional background spans more than two decades of project management, operations, communications, program development, and personalized client assistance.I've worked with individuals, families, nonprofits, professional associations, and senior-serving organizations—helping people navigate complex projects, organize information, coordinate services, and find practical solutions.As a Certified Dementia Practitioner, former Life Enrichment Manager, and professional entertainer, I also bring a unique perspective on the importance of creativity, communication, humor, and meaningful human connection.What matters most to me is helping people experience moments of accomplishment, connection, and joy—whether we're completing a meaningful project, sharing a laugh, making music together, or discovering something wonderful in an unexpected moment.Whether I'm organizing the details behind the scenes or engaging people through music and laughter, my approach is the same: listen carefully, think creatively, and provide thoughtful, geuine support.
Music, Laughter & Life Enrichment
Need reliable fun month after month? I provide engaging live music, original custom songwriting, and interactive programs for independent living, assisted living, memory care, families, and community organizations.What makes my performances different?I don't simply perform for an audience. I invite people to become part of the experience.Drawing on my background as a professional entertainer, improvisational comedian, and Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP), I create opportunities for everyone to connect, participate, laugh, sing, and enjoy the moment together.Programs typically run one hour and are available for groups or one-on-one. I provide my own sound equipment and perform on guitar. Having lived and performed in Ireland, I also bring a touch of Irish musical tradition to my programs, including the Bodhran, a traditional Irish drum.My programs combine familiar songs, storytelling, humor, and spontaneous interaction to create meaningful connections and brain-engaging, amazing moments—the kind that make faces BEAM with joy!Custom programs and original songs for special occasions are also available by arrangement.
