The 443 Social Club
443 Burnet Ave., Syracuse

Shakedown Sunday is a monthly series hosted by Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers and members of Dead to the Core, with special guests, that celebrates the Grateful Dead — not just the band's originals but songs from across the roots and rock worlds they made their own.

Jessica Brown is a singer-songwriter based in Syracuse. Originally from the Thousand Islands region, she started off singing in church and coffeehouses. Since moving to Syracuse in 2008, she briefly attended OCC for music and then pursued a music career with various bands. Her reggae/soul-inspired band Root Shock has put out several albums and music videos and toured up and down the East Coast. Her other project Ruha (with Shakedown Sunday regular Brian Welch on drums) performs around Central New York. Both bands are currently writing and recording new music and are excited for what the future holds.
