Clay Walker To Host 3rd Annual Chords of Hope

claywalker

Clay Walker has set the date for his third annual “Chords of Hope” benefit concert for multiple sclerosis. It’s a disease he’s been battling himself since 1996.

Walker will host the concert on June 5th at 3rd and Lindsley in Nashville. The proceeds will help fund MS research at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Walker will perform along with friends Jerrod Niemann, Hal Ketchum and Sarah Marince.

Clay describes the benefit as a truly special event because it lets him perform for fans and raise money for MS research at the same time. Walker’s charity Band Against MS has raised more than $2 million since he started it in ’96 to help others living with the disease. Walker has sold over 11 million albums and had 11 number-one hits.

“To have a Platinum single is mind-blowing,” shares Niemann. “It’s just truly a dream come true for me. “To know that people have thought ‘Man, I care about this enough to own it,’ whether it’s to get over somebody or just to, you know, ignore the words and kick your shoes off in the sun, it doesn’t matter. It’s just amazing to me.”
