In 1995, he performed in The Wizard of Oz in Concert: Dreams Come True to benefit the Children's Defense Fund.

He was awarded the Courage of Conscience Awards from The Peace Abbey in Sherborn, Massachusetts, for “promoting peace and justice through his music and his unrelenting support for that which promotes nonviolent solutions to problems both nationally and internationally.”

He contributed to the Songs For Tibet benefit CD.

He covered John Lennon’s “Oh My Love” to benefit Amnesty International’s campaign to alleviate the crisis in Darfur. The song appears on the album Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur.
