Shakedown Sunday at the 443 Social Club

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

The October Shakedown pays tribute to a lesser-known legacy of Jerry Garcia—as a pedal steel guitarist on not only Dead tracks but songs by Crosby, Stills, and Nash, New Riders of the Purple Sage, and more.

George Newton has been playing the pedal steel guitar and lap steel guitar for 55 years—his curiosity aroused by experiencing Big Ed Little and the Adirondack Drifters and further enticed by the emergence of Rusty Young and others at the dawn of the country rock era.

He has long been a fixture on the Central New York and Mohawk Valley club scenes and is currently a member of Quatro, the Dust Devil Band, Little Georgie and the Shuffling Hungarians, and Better Than Bowling. George can also be heard on many albums produced by top area singer-songwriters.

Expect deep cuts, fresh collaborations, and old favorites reimagined.

Only at Shakedown Sunday, only at the 443. NEVER miss a Sunday show.
