Loophole Brewery hosts jazz event to kick off Jazz & Roots Festival

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – In Springfield Thursday, Loophole Brewing featured an eclectic fusion of jazz and world music at their weekly event to kick off the eventful weekend that’s right around the corner.

Duryea Way Wine and Beer Garden, an event the brewery hosts every Thursday, gave their customers some soul by featuring Leverett-based group Masala Jazz to help get the community ready for the city’s Springfield Jazz & Roots Festival.

One of the founding partners of the brewery Jeffrey Goulet, told 22News how this weekly event is a good way for residents to experience some of what downtown Springfield has to offer. “Every Thursday, it’s a great starter from 4 to 8,” says Goulet. “Just pop here right after work and just jump into one of the restaurants in downtown Springfield.”
