Shakedown Sunday at the 443 Social Club

Never miss a Sunday show.

Shakedown Sunday is a monthly series at Syracuse’s 443 Social Club, hosted by Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers and members of Dead to the Core with special guests, that celebrates the Grateful Dead.

The music spans not only the Dead’s originals but songs from across the roots and rock worlds they made their own, plus selections from Jerry Garcia Band, Garcia and Grisman, and Old and in the Way—and a sampling of original songs by the Shakedown Sunday performers. All delivered with the creative acoustic arrangements and lush vocal harmonies that are the hallmark of Dead to the Core.

Guest artists include an array of top-shelf singers, songwriters, and instrumentalists from Central New York and beyond, digging into their favorite tunes.

Expect deep cuts, fresh collaborations, old favorites reimagined. Only at Shakedown Sunday, only at the 443.

Never miss a Sunday show.
