We employ Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy in liquid Helium to investigate the electronic structure of a monolayer graphene grown epitaxially on SiC(0001). Spatially resolved differential conductance maps reveal a richness of features that can partially attributed to the SiC/graphene interface. Area averages of such maps reveal a "standard" spectrum that agrees with spectra obtained in UHV [1]. Furthermore clear evidence for inelastic (phononic) contributions in the differential conductance of the tunnelling junction are found, offering a natural interpretation for the observed "zero bias anomalies" [2]. The spatial dependence of these features is discussed.
