Event Information:
The Reverend Peytons Big Damn Band has performed in 38 countries and 48 states. They have been featured in Rolling Stone Magazine, Living Blues, Elmore, donned the cover of Vintage Guitar Magazine, have been #1 on the Billboard, iTunes and Sirius XM Blues Charts and have been nominated for three Blues Music Awards by the Blues Foundation in Memphis. The Indianapolis Star listed Reverend Peyton as one of the top 25 Hoosier musicians of all time. Maybe you found the band because of virtuosic guitar playing? Maybe you came for the tent revival style live show? The reasons that brought you here could be extensive, but the reasons that keep bringing people back are HEART. Real, from the heart, music made by people who love music. The Sacramento Bee said, Its a group with boundless stockpiles of heart to spare it cascades throughout every slip-n-slide vintage blues/soul ditty they tear through and croon in every show they play, and they always leave a little behind. The front porch is the church, the church is the dance hall and the dance hall is the river bank your knees will fail you by the time you figure it all out. Often called, the greatest front-porch blues band in the world the Big Damn Band is led by Reverend Peyton, who is considered to be the premier finger pickers playing today. Rev has earned a reputation as both a singularly compelling performer and a persuasive evangelist for the rootsy, country blues styles that captured his imagination early in life and inspired him and his band to make pilgrimages to Clarksdale, Mississippi to study under such blues masters as T-Model Ford, Robert Belfour and David Honeyboy Edwards. Accompanied by Revs wife, the washboard virtuoso, Washboard Breezy Peyton, and kept on time by the deep rhythms of Jacob The Snakob Powell, Reverend Peytons Big Damn Band will leave you clapping, stomping, and singing along every handmade show across the world. Their new record Honeysuckle was produced and recorded by Reverend Peyton and mixed by six time Grammy winner Vance Powell (Chris Stapleton, Jack White). The record features many special guests including gospel music group The McCrary Sisters on the song Manger, Blues Music Hall of Famer and Grammy nominated harmonica player Billy Branch who plays on the Blind Lemon Jefferson song Nell (Pr*son Cell Blues), Grammy award winning and IBMAs 10-time Fiddle Player of the Year Michael Cleveland plays on Freeborn Man and Colton Crawford from The Dead South plays banjo on The Good Die Young This record is a bit of a return to my roots, a very personal mix of old and new songs that shaped me or that Im currently shaping. Its the most acoustic record weve made in years, vintage microphones, vintage guitars, vintage recording gear, and alot of me and my national guitar. There is a smattering of Big Damn Band thrown into the mix to spice things up, and a short list of legends that Ive always dreamed of collaborating with, said Reverend Peyton.
