Colorado-based vaporizer and hash oil manufacturer O.penVAPE is presenting an eight-city tour featuring Keller Williams solo and late-night sets by The Motet. The California-Nevada swing begins on Thursday and runs through Feb. 7.
In an exclusive statement to CelebStoner, O.penVAPE’s marketing coordinator Axie Blundon says: "We wanted to seize the opportunity to form one of the first cannabis-music industry partnerships of its kind by getting behind Keller Williams and The Motet for a West Coast tour. These two bands are immensely popular from Colorado to California, as is the O.penVAPE brand in the cannabis industry. So the pairing seemed natural.
“The tour helps as a marketing vehicle for O.penVAPE in California with the impossible-to-miss 40-foot O.penVAPE-wrapped tour bus cruising up and down the Golden Coast. Plus, we’re all about supporting the music industry, which often goes hand-in-hand with the cannabis industry.
“O.penVAPE is also all about reaching core demographics, because to us that's the cannabis demographic: anyone and everyone who chooses to use responsibly. This tour caters to our progressive music fan base. And stay tuned as our presence becomes visible in other music and entertainment genres, including areas like sports, outdoor activities, travel and lifestyle. From Colorado to California, and Connecticut to Maine, O.penVAPE is coast to coast."
