December 10, 2007 — Whiskey Falls showed its heart for sick kids with a performance for children with heart disease, the AP reports.
The band performed Friday at the annual fundraising concert for Camp del Corazon, a nonprofit organization that provides camping and other opportunities for children with cardiac problems.
"We just fell in love with the kids and the organization and we donate our time every year," the group's lead singer and principal songwriter, Seven Williams, says. "We hang out and perform."
Seven says he was won over after he and his wife, actress McKenzie Westmore, met a little girl at a charity event who talked about the difficulties of going to gym class after undergoing heart surgery.
Seven, whose given name is Keith, says he had his own childhood trauma and can relate. After learning on his eighth birthday that his godfather had died, he refused to blow out the candles on his cake. He was told that if he didn't he'd always remain age 7, and soon that became his nickname.
Seven says he grew up hating the name. "Then one day a girl said, 'Wow, is your name really Seven?'" he recalled with a laugh. "I said, 'Yes it is.'"
