Every Alchemy show is different. We cover and write in a wide variety of styles and do our best to never settle in one place for too long. Alchemy sounds like Alchemy... period.
The first Experiment with Alchemy took place on the second of June, 2006. Since then Alchemy has played shows in Buffalo, Syracuse, and Utica, pleasing crowds everywhere they go. Constant change and fluidity are the the name of the game for these stylistic virtuosos. Anything ranging from funk, jazz, rock, blues, traditional, reggae, bluegrass to Walt Disney music. To put it simply, they love to play. And it comes through in their performances, which at times have pushed the five hour mark. No one does what Alchemy does, and that is precisely why they do it. Alchemy has finished recording at Subcat Studios in Skaneateles and is anticipating a big summer this year. Keep your ears and minds open. Alchemy is coming.

MPP is the largest marijuana policy reform organization in the United States. Founded in 1995, MPP works to minimize the harm associated with marijuana -- both the consumption of marijuana and the laws that are intended to prohibit its use. MPP believes that the greatest harm associated with marijuana is prison. To this end, MPP focuses on removing criminal penalties for marijuana use, with a particular emphasis on making marijuana medically available to seriously ill people who have the approval of their doctors.
MPP doesn't encourage marijuana use. But our failed marijuana laws cost taxpayers billions of dollars a year, keep police from focusing on real crimes, and fail to keep marijuana away from kids. We believe it's time for a new approach-- taxation and regulation.
Sincerely,
The Marijuana Policy Project
