Liner notes

Recorded in August 2014, this episode explores the deep intersection between the music industry and cannabis culture. Guest host Ryan takes the helm to facilitate a cross-genre conversation between Ruben Alvarez of Upon A Burning Body and Tommy Sullivan of Stick Figure. Cultural & Technical Highlights: Touring & Logistics: A behind-the-scenes look at the 'Operational Hardware' required to maintain a cannabis lifestyle while on the road with a major national tour. Genre Crossover: Discussing how the plant acts as a 'Universal Software,' bridging the gap between the high-energy Metal scene and the soulful Reggae movement. Artist Advocacy: Ruben and Tommy discuss the role of the modern musician as an advocate for plant medicine and the breaking of legacy 'stoner' stereotypes in the professional music industry. The Summer Tour Circuit: A recap of the 2014 festival season and the evolution of 'Backstage Culture' in the legal era. This archive captures the early 'Branding' of the SoHi Media Network as a lifestyle hub that transcends simple cultivation. #DunnDeal #UponABurningBody #StickFigure #MusicAndCannabis #TourLife #AdamDunnShow #CulturalCrossover Adam & Mitch turn the reigns over to Ryan who brings on Ruben Alvarez from metal band Upon A Burning Body, and bassist Tommy Sullivan from reggae band Stick Figure.
