Never miss a Sunday show.

Shakedown Sunday is a monthly matinee 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 band’s originals but songs from across the roots and rock worlds they made their own, plus selections from the songbooks of Jerry Garcia Band, Garcia and Grisman, and Old and in the Way—and a sprinkling of originals. 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 singer-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.

P.S. The 443 also offers a special Shakedown Sunday menu, featuring grilled cheese with Shakedown dipping sauce and Cosmic Charlie’s cocktails.
