Sunday Sessions featuring local reggae band Collection of Lone Souljahs / CoLoSo
Sunday August 27th // 1-4pm // FREE // 21+
We’ve been inviting our community into the HEMP house since April 2015 for our monthly cannabis culture event, Sunday Sessions. Each month, we host a free event where we feature local musicians or artists in performances ranging from live glass blowing to live painting, screen printing or even pumpkin carving. Sunday Sessions at HEMP invites us to check in with our community often, support those around us, and gather to share ideas both about the legal weed industry and life in general.
About Collection of Lone Souljahs
Collection of Lone Souljahs is just that: a group of talented musicians who met while playing their own individual solo acts in Vancouver, WA. Every Coloso show is filled with good times, chill vibes, dancing and happy faces all around. Coloso brings the island sunshine to brighten any room, and they never fail to deliver a smile to your face.
In 2016, they released their first full length album, “This is the Life”, produced and engineered by B&W Records in Portland, OR. They’ve since played with such acts as Sol Seed, Fayuca, Bachaco, One Drop, Piracy Conspiracy, Sammy J., Ekolu, Ho’ Onua, House of Shem, and Grammy award winners, Morgan Heritage, among many others. Follow them on Facebook and Instagram and keep up with their new music, upcoming shows, events and other Coloso news.

July 2017 Featured Artist: Pop Octopus / Chris Stevens
Pop Octopus is an extension of a brain warped by growing up on too much science fiction, monster movies and comic books. He’s not searching for truth or making a statement about the nature of man, he makes the pretty eye candy that goes POP! All of his work is hand screenprinted and painted right here in Vancouver Washington, walking distance from where you’re standing at this moment in time and space.
All of Steven’s work is made from a place of love for the subject matter in the painting. Stevens makes it because it’s in his head waiting to get out. He’s been selling his wares in one form or another in this corner of the great Pacific Northwest for the past ten years or so. Stevens is a native to this fine corner of the country and love this place and all of the beauty in it.
Call it fan art, call it pop art, call it what you will, Stevens just hopes you enjoy looking at it as much as he enjoys making it. Pop Octopus is open to commission work as well as retailing in stores.
