Family Four are also featured on many popular music videos and on Jenny Oaks Baker’s newest CD, “The Spirit of God.” Their debut album, “Jenny Oaks Baker & Family Four,” will be released in late summer of 2019.
“In public policy and in politics, we often speak of touching hearts and minds,” said Rick B. Larsen, Sutherland Institute president. “Jenny Oaks Baker’s performances have the power to do that. They are moving, memorable and momentous. She is a musician of the highest caliber. We are thrilled she and her family will celebrate a significant milestone with us.”

“Trust me, you’re missing a spiritual feast if you’ve never heard Jenny play live. If heaven released a soundtrack, it would come from the strings of Jenny’s violin.”
– Jason F. Wright, New York Times best-selling author
“Grammy Nominee Jenny Oaks Baker is one of America’s most accomplished classical violinists. She’s known fondly as ‘America’s Violinist,’ an expression that was actually coined by the Director of most of her videos, Danny Drysdale, because he felt as if it fit her brand of being a violinist who performs music that everyone throughout America can enjoy, while trying to be a role model of family-centered American living.”

"She isn't just a flash violinist. She's super trained. She's not just an entertainer, she's a solid musician. She combines a good entertainment value with a concert musicianship that is exquisite."

Hemp, Inc. Subsidiary, The Hemp University, Has Limited Number of Tickets Left for Pre-Harvest Symposium Workshop in Ashland, Oregon this Sunday
The Pre-Harvest Symposium will be hosted at Southern Oregon University at 1250 Siskiyou Boulevard Ashland, Oregon 97520 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. PST. The workshop will feature a selected group of hemp industry leaders who will spend the day educating and offering support to farmers, entrepreneurs and investors. The workshop also provides these individuals the opportunity to network with like-minded people in the industrial hemp industry.
“The growth we are seeing in Southern Oregon’s industrial hemp industry is incredibly strong as is demonstrated by the explosion of hemp licenses and acreage in this area,” said Hemp, Inc. CEO Bruce Perlowin. “However, with quick growth comes a lot of learning, which is why we have set out to help these hardworking Southern Oregon farmers, entrepreneurs and investors gain a clear understanding of the market and its growth potential from experienced industry leaders. Speakers are both local and interstate experts and it is our goal that after the workshop, attendees are confident in the crop, in the industry and feel supported.”
Key issues discussed at the workshop will include harvesting, processing and profit channels. Panels include discussions on ethics, profits and sustainability, and regional identity, specifically tailored for Southern Oregon-grown hemp. At the workshop, there will be an Entrepreneur's Market that will showcase various products and services that align with a prosperous harvest season.
Perlowin added, “In each of the past Southern Oregon Hemp University workshops, we have seen an incredible turnout and attendees continue to come back to continue their education. This is a truly unique experience that services everyone from first-time hemp farmers to serial investors and industry experts with years of experience. It is inspiring seeing everyone in the same room who is just as passionate about this crop as I am and helping one another succeed.”
