From Bonnie Raitt to Billie Eilish: Making Live Music Greener with Lauren Sullivan, J96 & Adam Gardner, A95
The 2026 Lyon & Bendheim Citizenship Award was awarded to Lauren Sullivan, J96 and Adam Gardner, A95, for their innovative approach to tackling today’s most pressing environmental and social issues, for their remarkable impact on the green music movement, and for empowering millions to act toward a more sustainable and just future. They received their awards from Dean Dayna Cunningham at a special event on March 9, 2026, where Lauren and Adam spoke about the green music movement and the powerful role music can play in driving positive change. The conversation was moderated by special guest and Tufts alumnus, Madeline Weir, A20, REVERB’s Director of Impact
After seeing firsthand how musicians’ can have a unique impact on environmental campaigns and recognizing the environmental footprint of concerts and festivals, Lauren Sullivan and her musician husband, Adam Gardner (frontman for popular indie band Guster, which formed at Tufts and played its first show in Lewis Hall), founded REVERB in 2004 to create a more sustainable, action-oriented music industry. Over 20 years later, REVERB’s impact has been extraordinary. The organization has raised over $21 million for environmental causes, eliminated 4.5 million plastic bottles, neutralized 420,000 metric tons of CO2E, “greened” over 350 tours, and inspired millions of fans to take action—all while pioneering the green music movement. Lauren and Adam are Co-Founders and Co-Executive Directors of REVERB, which was named Official Music and Public Engagement Partner to the United Nations Environment Programme in 2018.
