Grateful Sundays Tickets

Grateful Sundays is the weekly Grateful Dead–themed music event created by Matt Hartle, a cornerstone of the Santa Cruz live music scene since 2017. What started at Michael's on Main in Soquel has evolved through several intimate venues—Felton Music Hall, Urbani Cellar, and the Catalyst Atrium—before finding a home in The Crepe Place’s outdoor garden in Santa Cruz. Each show features a rotating roster of Dead-influenced musicians, delivering the improvisational spirit and melodic classics fans know and love. Hartle frequently performs with the Hartle Gold Band and collaborates with members of The China Cats, Painted Mandolin, Spirit of ’76, and more, ensuring a fresh, communal experience every week.

Grateful Sundays offers a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere where fans can linger, listen, and celebrate the music that defined a generation. Whether you’re a longtime Deadhead or discovering the magic of this scene, secure your seats for upcoming Garden shows at The Crepe Place in Santa Cruz and follow the evolving lineup crafted by Matt Hartle and his rotating bandmates.

Upcoming performances for Grateful Sundays continue to honor the Dead’s legacy with fluid collaborations and live improvisation. The Crepe Place in Santa Cruz remains the current home for outdoor garden shows, with a calendar that includes spring and winter dates.
