After a brief hiatus Jen’s Music Stash continues! Drummer Adam Deitch from Brooklyn-based funk band Lettuce drops by the studio, Mike and Jen break down the 25th Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam (featuring Ghostface Killah, N.O.R.E, Styles P, and MF Doom), and, in keeping with the holiday season, episode 3 of The Stash features not one, but two great giveaways!

As Rocktober continues to, well, rock…so does Jen as she debuts her second episode of The Stash, which turned out to be a good mix of new and classic rock. Kicking off the weekend was keyboardist Marco Benevento who was celebrating the release of his new album TigerFace. Bringing the party to the Bowery Ballroom with Benevento was bassist Dave Dreiwitz, drummer Andy Borger and a rather animated, furry stuffed tiger head. The shenanigans continued backstage with a factory line of joint rolling and an important lesson learned. Jen and her Music Stash headed to the Beacon Theatre on Tuesday night for a sold-out show of Crosby, Stills & Nash who proved that their music is just as relevant today as it was at Woodstock – some forty years ago. The band mixed fan favorites “Love The One You’re With,” “Wooden Ships,” and “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes” with newer tracks like “Almost Gone” and “Radio.” Joining The Stash in the HIGH TIMES office this week was our first ever guest: Jon Topper, manager of the band moe. Topper spoke to us about his experience representing the US on his recent trip to China and Korea – and may have leaked that there’s an upcoming winter festival in the works at Killington mountain. Jen credits moe. with her addiction… rather, passion of seeing live music and it was a treat to have Topper stop by.

The premiere episode of Jen’s Music Stash contains a wrap up of a busy few days of music. Following a performance by Scott Metzger’s band Wolf! the night before, Jen embarked on an epic day that began with a Led Zeppelin press conference and screening of their new concert DVD Celebration Day and ended with a backstage hang with a reunited Ben Folds Five. Listen in for Jen’s breakdown of the week’s live music scene – as well as exciting upcoming events and great audio clips.
