EL DORADO HILLS, Calif. (KCRA/CNN) - A group of California health care workers have started a rock band in the hopes of giving people something to do as they wait out the pandemic.
The band, named Tachy Phylanges, consists of a neurologist, pediatrician and two trained paramedics.
They had their first pop-up concert in a driveway on Saturday, complete with social distancing precautions. The band members stayed six feet apart by using pickup trucks and handmade stages.
“Trying to spread love, not the virus,” band member Peter Skaff said. “Spread music, not the virus.”
The driveway concert had two goals.
The first goal was to motivate neighbors to step outside so they can see and talk with each other from a safe distance.
“I think we are all feeling this yearning for connectiveness,” Skaff said.
