...storm and, as of last summer, expanded their tour schedule to include the United States. Wednesday’s concert centered on sending a message of peace. “You [Americans] have the power to make an influence from here to there in your own quiet way. Thank you for the help that you have given and for the help that you are going to give to Israel,” said The Fools between songs.
