Walker was diagnosed with MS in 1996 and is now in remission. He formed Band Against MS, a nonprofit organization that has raised more than $1 million for MS research. In 2009 Walker received the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s highest honor, the MS Hope Award, for outstanding civic and community service.
“With Special Guest Imaj”
As a singer, Imaj has always spoken of her love of country music above all but has also shown that she doesn’t limit herself musically to any one genre or language. She taught herself phonetically to sing in six languages including German, Spanish and Japanese and crosses several genres including folk, pop, soul and southern rock. Still, her heart remains in traditional country music. She associates her love of country to her passion for writing stories and talks about the purity the genre has maintained through its life. Her mother who grew up as the black-sheep of her family, listening to Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt while everyone else was listening to the Funkadelics, was also a major influence.
