According to the CDC, it is estimated that up to 2.5 million Americans (20 million worldwide) suffer from ME/CFS. Yet, ME/CFS has traditionally been one of the lowest funded diseases by the United States National Institutes of Health (NIH). Before this illness rendered him almost entirely bedbound and in need of full-time care, Hal Walker taught thousands of Ohio children to play the harmonica, directed theSummit Children’s choir, curated the Cuyahoga Valley Concert Series, and in so many ways inspired children and adults to make and celebrate music.“It’s been devastating to watch Hal’s health decline so rapidly, and to watch the huge loss he’s facing as he doesn’t have the strength to make music,” said long-time friend and concert organizer, David Ford. “We certainly want to raise money for Hal’s care, but it’s also so important to raise awareness about this brutal illness. It has wreaked havoc on Hal’s life, and we want to support more research and understanding.”Performers for this event include: Chris Martin of Coldplay, Joe Crookston, Evie Ladin, Moira Smiley, Jayme Stone, Tracy Grammer, Peter & Mary Alice Amidon and more.

This Moment in Music - Ep. 80 - Kevin Chambers Hal Walker 2021-02-18 | thismomentinmusic.comText me: 330-625-5168Kevin Chambers never imagined his life would change in an instant. After writing and recording his debut EP in his own NYC apartment, he began performing around the city at several different venues — The Bitter End and The Studio at Webster Hall to name a few. But at a radio gig in mid-March of 2015, he had a stroke due to an AVM/aneurysm that had burst near the speech center in his brain. He would need speech rehab, physical/occupational therapy, and brain surgery to recover. Miraculously, he returned to the stage just 4 months after a successful surgery, playing Musikfest in Bethlehem, PA. Moving down from NYC to Nashville, he knew his love for music couldn’t wait any longer.After recovering from his stroke, he launched a Kickstarter to help him record his second EP, appropriately called “Starting Over.” Following this release, Chambers has been nominated for Best USA in the Toronto Independent Music Awards, he has performed in the Emerging Artist Showcase at Blast On The Bay in Florida, and also as a Top 10 finalist in the Wildflower Arts and Music Festival in Texas. Chambers embarked on his first ever House Concert tour — a 50-day trip traveling by car all over the east coast with multiple stops along the way. During this tour, he played several shows for friends, family, and many new listeners, conjuring up the likes of Ben Folds and Ben Rector, while harkening back to the classic piano men of Billy Joel and Elton John. Having graduated with a Masters in Film Scoring, he has fused the cinematic aspect of his musical studies into his own songwriting, while also composing several instrumental tracks and other scores for short films as well. In the past couple years, he has been taking cover songs and reimagining them into his own cinematic world of piano and strings.
