Collective Unconscious will perform the hit songs "Cecilia," "The

The concert benefits the Peace Island Conference: Hope in a

non-partisan, solutions-driven conference is scheduled during the
Republican National Convention in St. Paul. Nationally-known
speakers will address current issues of peace, justice and the
environment at the conference. It is sponsored by the Minnesota
