Wu-Tang members help launch cannabis industry at Zenbarn

Jan. 27, 2022  |  By Waterbury Roundabout

Zenbarn in Waterbury Center along with Sensi magazine, a leading national cannabis publication, will host music, food and networking events, Feb. 3-5, to kick off Vermont’s new cannabis industry launching this year.

The effort will bring together key players in the industry from retailers to growers, builders and service providers from Vermont and New England with the main event Friday, Feb. 4, with two members of the famed Wu-Tang clan, a live band, and a host of special guests. 

Sponsors will have tables set up and will be discussing their vision for the Vermont cannabis industry. “This is a historic and exciting year for our state and in particular the town of Waterbury is well-positioned to be a premier destination for cannabis, just like it has become for craft beer,” said Noah Fishman, co-owner/founder of Zenbarn and Zenbarn Farms.

Wu-Tang members Cappadonna and Inspectah Deck will perform. The pair is also launching their cannabis brands in Massachusetts this year and will be getting a tour of the Vermont cannabis scene. “It’s encouraging to see artists moving into the cannabis industry and leveraging their personal brands in this way,” Fishman said. “This is a chance for us to show our neighboring states all the exciting things we have going on in Vermont.” 

The schedule starts Thursday, Feb 3, with a free show by local blues artist Dave Keller. Friday’s business networking called “Sensi Connects” runs 6 to 8 p.m. Music starts at 9 p.m. with Cappadonna and Inspectah Deck following Vermont hip hop opening acts. Tickets are $55 in advance at zenbarnvt.com. Saturday’s schedule continues with food and drink specials and a reggae tribute to Bob Marley. Tickets and information online at zenbarnvt.com.
