About this event

"A Love Song For Hal"

Friday January 7, 7pm ET

Join more than 25 musicians from around the country including Jim Scott, Algie Powers, Lea Morris and special guest Chris Martin of Coldplay.

This livestreamed benefit concert will raise money to support beloved Ohio musician, Hal Walker, in his ongoing battle with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS).

ME/CFS is a complex/multi-system disease that has the power to shatter lives. 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 historically been one of the lowest funded diseases by the United States National Institutes of Health (NIH).

A portion of the funds raised will be donated to the Open Medicine Foundation, an organization doing much needed research for the highly misunderstood, debilitating illness.

Hal has been managing ME/CFS since 1992, but recently experienced a severe downturn and is currently bed-bound much of the time, unable to work, and in need of full-time care.

One thing we know for sure is that Hal is connected to many MANY artists who love him. We could have spent days listening to them sing songs in honor of Hal, but we're limiting it to just a couple of hours. These are the artists you'll have the honor of hearing on January 7.
