Listening to music stimulates the brain and boosts emotional wellbeing, both of which are crucial for people over 65, and enjoying music in a live setting offers the additional bonus of potential socialization with family and friends.

2. Spice Lounge and Tapas
Located at 52 Lakeshore Road, this stylish lounge offers live music that includes musicians playing Spanish tunes on the guitar every Sunday starting at 9pm in a welcoming, cozy atmosphere.
