Set to ignite Boston with a one-night-only cultural collision of music, cannabis, and purpose

Boston, MA – April 23, 2026 – Something unexpected is about to kick the door in. No posers and no filler. This is going to blow your mind and make your last show feel like a kindergarten field trip. The heads are getting called, the energy’s about to spike, and we’re all about to witness what happens during a cultural collision of music and cannabis that Boston hasn’t seen before. On April 23rd, The Seshn Band Freedom Grow Benefit Concert takes over Big Night Live with 2,000 people, a dope lineup, and a purpose that actually matters. Real energy, real people, and a night that’s going to leave a mark long after the last hit.

Headlining the night is a rare, one-night-only collaboration featuring G. Love and Chali 2na, backed by the genre-bending powerhouse known as The Seshn Band. Expect a sonic blend of funk, hip-hop, reggae, and rock that doesn’t just entertain people, it hits you in the chest and pulls you straight into the moment whether you’re ready or not.

This event directly benefits Freedom Grow, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting individuals still incarcerated for nonviolent cannabis offenses. While legal markets expand and profits climb, thousands remain behind bars for the very same plant now celebrated on stage. The goal of the night is simple and urgent: to raise awareness and funds to provide immediate commissary support for those still paying the price of outdated laws.

No one should be in prison for cannabis. Period.

At the center of it all is Jake Boynton, also known as Bake Joynton, CEO and Founder of Seshn Events and bassist and founder of The Seshn Band. His vision is what’s driving this entire movement forward: “This isn’t just about putting on a great show, it’s about building something bigger than a moment. Cannabis and music have always shared the same energy, the same community, but no one’s really created a space where that connection can thrive in a meaningful, intentional way. With Seshn Events, we’re bringing the culture, the business, and the purpose into the same room…so people can have an unforgettable night, make real connections, and be part of something that actually moves things forward.”

The Fat Nugs Magazine team is bringing its signature Faces of Cannabis activation to Boston for the first time, in collaboration with Melting Point Extracts (MPX) and Cheetah. This is Fat Nugs Magazine’s cultural archive in real time. Raw, human, unfiltered moments captured through a lens that understands the plant and the people behind it. The result? Some of the most powerful images to come out of the cannabis space in the last couple years; photos that live far beyond the night itself, circulating across social media, publications, and platforms for months.

Dustin Hoxworth, Founder of Fat Nugs Magazine, shared his excitement: “This is one of those nights I’ll likely be talking about for years to come. When you mix things like music, culture, community, and cannabis all based around a purpose, that’s when shit gets real. We’re bringing Faces of Cannabis to Boston for the first time, and that alone should help create something special. Add in this lineup, this energy, and this cause? Can’t fucking wait!.”

The event also features a high-level Studio B Sponsor & Industry Networking Experience from 7–9 PM prior to the main show. This curated environment brings together founders, operators, investors, and creatives across cannabis and entertainment to build real relationships and opportunities. This is where the deals happen. It’s a B2B meets B2C event with no separation or silos. David Applebaum, Director of Wholesale Operations for Cheetah, MPX, and the broader iAnthus portfolio, added: “What excites me about this event is how intentional it is. You’ve got culture, commerce, and community all colliding in one place, and it’s not forced. This is exactly the kind of environment and opportunity we thrive in. It’s where brands connect with people in a way that actually matters, where conversations turn into relationships, and where the industry continues to evolve the right way.” The Seshn Band, formerly known as The Sensi Allstars, brings a deep bench of elite musicians and a history of high-impact collaborations with legends across hip-hop, rock, and funk. Their performances aren’t rehearsed into boredom, they’re alive, unpredictable, and built on chemistry. Just the thing to bring the night alive! Tickets, VIP tables, and a limited number of sponsorship opportunities are available now. If you’re in Boston on April 23rd, the choice is simple: you either show up and be part of it, or you hear about it after.
