Sorry for taking so long with a second update but I’ve been really busy. I added a few more pics to the gallery including one of Justin with his daughters. And because I’ve seen many people curious about which daughters did what, here goes: on the left is Kaila who was the main vocalist, in the middle is Eva who sang chorus and played percussion, and on the right is Maya who played guitar. Kaila and Maya are twins and they’re 14 years old. Eva is 13 years old.
Kevin McKidd tweeted this pic of Justin backstage at Royce Hall:
There were several nice reviews about Justin & his daughter’s performance in particular about how good of a singer Kaila is. Here are a few:
Chambers sang “Young Folks,” with three of his children, Eva, Mya and Kayla. His daughter Kayla easily stole the show with a voice reminiscent of Norah Jones and a stage confidence well beyond her years. The performing genes clearly run in that family.
Justin Chambers and three of his children (!) sang “Young Folks” by Peter Bjorn and John. What a thrill to see the look of pride and delight on Justin’s face as his daughter brought down the house with her tremendous voice. As a mom myself, I totally got that moment.
There were so many highlights. I can’t tell you how sweet it was to see Chambers take the stage with three of his daughters to perform Young Folks. One of the daughters, I don’t know her name, has the most lovely voice and really should perform professionally.
Fans that bought the VIP tickets were also treated to a Q&A session with the cast and in this video, at around the 2:22 mark, Justin is asked a question.
There are also a lot of fans pics floating around, here are a few…

Young Folks
Clearly, talent runs in the Chambers family. Great performance by Kaila, Maya and Eva. Dad looks proud!
How to Save a Life
Congrats and job well done to Justin and the cast & crew who put this benefit together for a good cause. I must say that I am actually impressed and a special congrats to Justin’s daughters for their amazing performance and for getting up onstage in front of the crazy Grey’s Anatomy fans. LOL
On Sunday, the Grey’s Anatomy cast will perform songs at UCLA’s Royce Hall to benefit The Actors Fund. In the lead up to the event, the cast has been busy rehearsing and doing press. Yesterday, Shonda Rhimes and Kevin McKidd tweeted pics of some of the cast rehearsing on set. They include Sara Ramirez, Jessica Capshaw, Sarah Drew, Kim Raver, James Pickens Jr. and, of course, Justin who is in his blue scrubs. Check out the pics:
And surprise, surprise! Justin will also be singing with his kids at the benefit. They’ll sing Peter Bjorn and John’s 2006 hit “Young Folks.”
Three of Chambers’ children will join him on stage for a rendition of Peter Bjorn and John’s 2006 hit “Young Folks.” “It’s a duet between me and my daughter,” Chambers said. “My other daughter is going to play the guitar, and we’re going to whistle.”
The LA Times has an article about the benefit and there are several quotes from Justin in it including the one above. To read more click the link -> LA Times.
In other news, actress Amanda Fuller who plays Intern Morgan Peterson gave an interview to Wetpaint discussing her role, the Morgan & Alex relationship and what it’s like on the Grey’s set. About Justin:
Justin makes me laugh maybe more than anyone I’ve ever met. He’s got such a humble, grounded, goofy quality about him.
