Tasty's Potent Edibles and Nectar Cannabis have gathered a powerful all-female lineup for their second concert this summer in celebration of female empowerment and great music. Headlining is the goddess emcee herself Sa-Roc.
We aren’t the first to mix music, comedy, and cannabis, but with Sa-Roc in the building, a very special and diverse mix of top local talent, comedian Vanessa Dawn hosting and a weed bus parked outside of the venue free to use by attendees, we think Rose City will be blessed with unforgettable experiences.
All attendees will have a chance to win freebies and cash prizes by Coinlotto. DJ Mami Miami will begin and end the night out with a dance party in celebration of all goddesses.
Sa-Roc:
Sa-Roc has carved out her own lane through a combination of airtight wordplay and intelligent concepts. She made waves last year with the release of “Forever”, quickly racking up 400k streams on Spotify and over 2M views on YouTube. A voice Okayplayer.com proclaimed “one of the most formidable microphone mavens in the game.” She is scheduled to release her new album this year and word has it that she may be performing some of her new songs.
Now in its sixth year, Montavilla Jazz Festival is a two-day festival that showcases the freshest, most exciting original compositions from Portland’s eclectic and vibrant jazz scene.

KayelaJ's debut album D.Y.K.E (Don't Yield, Keep Enduring) is an album she has waited to make her entire life. Throughout her life she's experienced battles with the world and within herself. The album is a autobiography and an emotional roller-coaster which starts in KayelaJ's deep depression, transitions into her rage, and ends in love (including her self-love and love for others). She hopes this experience will be as therapeutic for you as it was for her. Join her at her album release party at Kelly's Olympian where she will bare it all.

Mass shootings are on the rise. The call for gun control is at a fever pitch. And a recent Quinnipiac University poll shows that the majority of Americans support stricter gun laws. So what’s holding the U.S. back from enacting change?
In The Hidden History of Guns and the Second Amendment (Berrett-Koehler Publishers; June 4, 2019; 9781523085996), nationally syndicated talk show host and New York Times bestselling author Thom Hartmann offers an in-depth, historically informed view of the role guns have played throughout American history, from early European settlement to the Revolutionary War and Manifest Destiny, through the use of Slave Patrols in the Deep South (which became the "well-regulated militias" so debated in 1787), to the recent school massacres. He shows how the NRA and conservative Supreme Court justices used specious logic to invent a virtually unlimited individual right to own guns, which has enabled the ever-growing number of mass shootings in the United States.
There are solutions to this epidemic of gun violence and mass shootings, but they require a clear eyed reconciliation of America’s past with its present. Hartmann identifies common-sense and powerful solutions that would break the power of the gun lobby and restore the understanding of the Second Amendment that the Framers of the Constitution intended, such as:
• getting money out of politics to get the NRA out of lobbying
• passing laws that would treat gun ownership like car ownership (title, license, insurance)
• addressing the social despair and economic inequality that drive violent crime and mass shootings
