About the Series

Good folks, great music, cold beer

Jim & Sarah of Chappy's Mobile Culinary Experience and Matt from Pioneer Valley Trading Company created Grateful Wednesdays to bring like-minded people together for the best beer, food, and live music in the Pioneer Valley.

Whether you're reliving the magic of the Dead or discovering the free-flowing energy of jam bands for the first time, every show is an unforgettable live experience rooted in improvisation and communal spirit.

The series launched on October 23, 2025 and has been a joy ever since. We're stoked for every upcoming performance on the colorful taproom stage.
