Will Hawkins on Free Tour to Support Soldiers
Makes tour stop at Cold Spring Area Chamber of Commerce Summer Music Series
Will Hawkins, a passionate singer and songwriter, is currently embarking on a free concert tour in support of the Fallen Heroes Fund, which benefits soldiers who have been injured in Iraq and their families. As part of this tour Will is making an appearance at the Cold Spring Area Chamber of Commerce Summer Music Series Sunday, August 19 at 5:30pm and will be performing with the beautiful Hudson River as a backdrop.
The Chamber's Annual Summer Music Series offers fantastic musical entertainment on summer evenings free to the public between July 1 and September 3.
Will is a strong supporter of organizations that benefit injured military servicemen. His hit song, Johnstown, which appears on his most recent album Ghost Town, was written after an emotional USO-sponsored performance at Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington, D.C. The song tells the tragic, yet inspiring story of how an injured Reservist returns home after his tour of duty in Iraq and comes to terms with how his injury and experiences on the battlefield have changed his life forever. Johnstown has been downloaded over 5000 times and has received nationwide airplay.
Will recently returned from playing the Radio & Records Triple A Summit, in Boulder, CO. Other artists in attendance at this event included Steve Earle, Mark Cohn, Ryan Adams and Paula Cole. "The Cold Spring Summer Series is a thriving community music series and I am awaiting my appearance with great anticipation. This is a wonderful opportunity to spread the word and garner support for the Fallen Heroes Fund while following my passion for performing," said Will Hawkins. "I know that this tour and my appearance in Cold Spring will be a rewarding and memorable experience."
Will Hawkins was born in the historic and haunted village of Sleepy Hollow, NY, home of one Headless Horseman and a crumbling Ford Motors Factory. His father was a local policeman and his mother was a secretary. He was raised with complete faith in the American dream, believing that if you worked hard enough you would be rewarded with a comfortable and secure life. His writing reflects the changing times in America as well as the world as the new generations face new challenges.
The Chamber's Annual Summer Music Series offers fantastic musical entertainment free to the public on Sundays at 5:30pm from July 1 through September 3.
