Plan B Performing at 1:00 Coffeehouse duo. Professor Hempinstead Performing at 2:00 A solo act spreading the word about the world's most resourceful plant, Hemp. Industrial hemp is an incredible resource. Hemp is harvested for its fibers for hemp clothing and seeds for hemp oil. With a relatively short growth cycle of 100-120 days, it is an efficient and economical crop for farmers to grow, however, industrial hemp cannot be commercially grown in the United States because it is erroneously confounded with marijuana. In fact, industrial hemp and marijuana are different breeds of Cannabis sativa. Smoking large amounts of hemp flowers can produce a headache but not a high!

Dead, Dylan, Stones, Marley, etc.).  Their playing style is unique, as they dont have a traditional drum kit and they arrange their songs to fit their groove!
