Jackson Browne LD Steve Comer in conjunction with Dennis Scrimo and Cree and Buddha Miller delivered the Concert for Civility in Tucson, as a fundraiser in response to the tragic shooting that occurred there. Jackson Browne, Alice Cooper, David Crosby & Graham Nash, Sam Moore, Nils Lofgren, Keb' Mo', Jennifer Warnes, Jerry Riopelle, Dar Williams, Ozomatli, and Calexico all appeared in this star studded evening. Bandit delivered an all GRN system with GRN PARs, GRN 8 Lights and GRN Moving Washes. Most of the artists on the bill have long been known for their environmental awareness and this evening was a manifestation of that drive.
