Country Star Hal Ketchum Performs at the Tralf

By Joyce Kryszak

Buffalo, NY – Hal Ketchum is a singer, songwriter, painter, carpenter and poet -- a true American artisan. He's had 15 top ten hits. USA Today wrote that Ketchum has "the most effervescent voice in country music today. But his fans were stunned to learn last month that he's suffering from multiple sclerosis. While it has affected his ability to play his guitar, Hal Ketchum will be performing live in concert Friday night at 8:00 at the Tralf in downtown Buffalo. WBFO's Joyce Kryszak reached Ketchum on his cell phone this week, as he was aboard his tour bus -- writing songs.
