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.

This month's special guest is Heather Kubacki, a dynamic cellist and vocalist actively performing in multiple projects across Central New York. As a core member of Quatro, a genre-bending progressive Americana quartet, she blends lead and harmony vocals with expressive cello arrangements to create a sound all their own. Heather also brings her talents to Surf School, an emerging six-piece rock band, and is an occasional sit-in for Ithaca-based funk rock band Truth Decay, as well as Pink Floyd tribute band In the Flesh.
