Dead to the Core, An acoustic celebration of the Grateful Dead

Dead to the Core is a collective of singer-songwriters and acoustic musicians, led by musician/author Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers, that celebrates the music of the Grateful Dead—not through note-for-note re-creations but by playing the songs their own way, letting them grow and evolve collaboratively in the true spirit of the Dead.

Dead to the Core grew out of a series of Jerry Garcia birthday shows hosted by Rodgers at the legendary Club Passim in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and now tours around the northeast. This show at the 443 features an all-star local band. Joining Rodgers (guitar, Strumstick) are Tim Burns of Two Hour Delay (guitar, mandolin), Wendy Sassafras Ramsay (flute, clarinet, accordion), Josh Dekaney (percussion kit), and John Dancks (upright bass).

Interspersed with the music are clips from Rodgers’ own interviews with Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir, in which they reflect on the roots and evolution of the music.

A Dead to the Core show is an experience unlike any other Grateful Dead tribute: a night of deeply personal performances that illuminate the masterful song craft of one of America’s most original bands. Grateful Dead music right down to the core.
