Graham Nash has invited his famous friends such as David Crosby and Jackson Browne to attend the Interfaith Prayer Service and Benefit Concert in Washington, DC tonight (October 16).
Nash conceived the idea for the peace concert with Bishop John Bryson Chane, the Episcopal Bishop of Washington.Tonight's event will see appearances from Keb' Mo, Emily Saliers, John Hall and Krishna Das.
The event will also honor the Dalai Lama, on the eve of his receipt for the Congressional Gold Medal.
Nash and Bishop Chane came up with the Pray For Peace event to raise awareness of the injustice of war. "To me," says Nash in a statement, "it has always been the most 'un-religious' of actions to kill human beings in the name of God. It is time for the religious community to help put a stop to this madness by coming together and denouncing these killings."
Prayer for Peace will commence with an interfaith prayer ceremony from 6pm and be followed by the concert featuring David Crosby, Graham Nash, Jackson Browne, Keb' Mo', Emily Saliers, John Hall and Krishna Das at 7.30pm.
It will take place at the Washington National Cathedral.
