Get ready for a special Wednesday night of legendary jams as Grateful Allman Band Experience (GABE) takes over the Chef Life stage!
📅 Wednesday, October 21, 2026
⏰ 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM
📍 Chef Life | 11800 Merchants Walk, Newport News, VA
GABE brings together the music of two of the most influential bands in American rock history — The Grateful Dead and The Allman Brothers Band — for an improvisation-driven live experience built for Deadheads, Allman fans, and lovers of the jam-band scene.
This isn't about costumes or simply recreating the records note-for-note. GABE captures the spirit that made this music legendary: extended jams, musical exploration, spontaneous interplay, and the freedom to take familiar songs somewhere new every night.
Featuring experienced musicians from the Mid-Atlantic music scene, GABE has spent more than a decade performing throughout the region, including recent shows drawing hundreds of fans and multiple sellouts.
Whether you follow the Dead, love the Allman Brothers, or just want to spend your Wednesday evening surrounded by great live music, good food, drinks, and fellow music lovers, this is one you won't want to miss.
