Vector Arena is proud to present the Americana roots blues party that is The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band at The Great South Pacific Tuning Fork, Friday 26th February 2016.
Hailing from Indiana, Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band has always been strong on authenticity, playing music that blends blues, ragtime, folk, country and other traditional styles with the sleek modern energy of do-it-yourself, homespun, punk fueled rock. It’s a mix that’s allowed the band to win fans from all corners of the Americana and rock worlds, and introduce a new generation to blues and American roots music.
Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band bridges genres and eras with an intensity and effortlessness few contemporary artists possess. Their latest and fifth full-length album So Delicious — which includes Breezy Peyton on washboard and supporting vocals and Ben Bussell on drums and supporting vocals elevates the trio’s work to a new level. Produced by Rev. Peyton, So Delicious offers the band’s most diverse collection of songs buoyed by the Rev.’s supercharged six-string virtuosity — a unique style of fingerpicking inspired by his Delta blues heroes, but taken to new, original heights.
Some listeners have a hard time believing all of the Rev.’s extraordinary guitar performances are recorded live with no overdubs — until they see the Big Damn Band in concert. “Pot Roast & Kisses” is a radiant example of his nimble style, weaving two melodies, thumb plucked bass lines and bright decorative filigrees into a graceful, upbeat blend.
With a string of billboard charting albums under their belt and multiple performances at prestigious festivals such as the famed Austin City Limits, Glastonbury, Bonnaroo, WOMAD, Telluride, All Good, King Biscuit, Juke Joint and Riot festivals, Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band are a live act you don’t want to miss.
“When people hear So Delicious and see us play live, I think they understand that what we’re singing about is real to us,” the Rev. says. “We believe in the stories we’re telling and in the way we play. And when we’re on stage or off, there’s nothing fake about us. We are what we do, and I’m proud of that.”
First time visiting Brown County. Awesome experience. All 3 acts were Amazing! Cant wait to see The Big Damn Band again!
My son John Bowyer and Jayme Hood was the opening act, Hammer and the Hachet. Great venue, sound,lighting was awesome.
Loved the duckroom, one of my favorite bands. Second time seeing them this year
This show was very interesting. I thought we wouldn't make it to midnight on New Years Eve but we were having so much fun we didn't leave until well after midnight.
The venue at Brown County Music Center is comfy and personal. The staff is friendly and so helpful. As for Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band, what a great time. The Reverend is one of the top guitar players in the country. His wife, "Washboard Breezy" is so talented and such a blast to watch. She can steal the stage at times. The drummer, Maxwell Senteney can bring it. We can't wait to see them again.
Great warm-up band. Big Damn Band always a great show!!
Great time, the are so much fun wish I could see them more often. They are very talented musicians.
It was an excellent show! All 3 musicians have talent in their fields. Very hard to explain, unless you see a show, but same but very different from other artists. We will definitely be interested in another show!
Good first experience. Sound was good, stage show was great, and the location was fitting for the show. Highly recommend, I'm looking forward to my next chance to see them again!
Going in as a fan of Reverends Peyton Big Damn Band I of course had an excellent time. Wonderful music, great stage presence, and so delicious live. I brought along a few friends, a couple who were only marginally familiar with the Reverend Peyton and they were amazed at the band, especially of course Reverend Peyton on guitar. They are now new fans! I have new respect for Breezy on washboard too.
Small intimate venue, we were able to speak with the opening acts and Rev Peyton before and in between their sets.
We had a most excellent time at the show in Louisville Friday night.
From the moment the Reverend, Breezy and Ben took the stage, the crowd kept bouncing until the night's last "Thank you so much". Amazing guitar riffs and distinctive vocals carried a set of energetic original songs with a healthy nod to country blues. Throughout the show we could tell that the Big Damn Band was having a mighty good time. The show left me exhausted and grinning.
If you have never seen Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band, then you are missing out on a show that will have you dancing and smiling the whole time. I have seen them 3 times this year alone and I will continue going to their shows whenever they are in the area. I listen to mostly rock music, so I was skeptical the first time I went to see them but I quickly came to find that it doesn't matter the type of music that you typically listen to, you will have a great time watching The Big Damn Band. The show at the Taft was sort of a homecoming show for them making it my favorite show of the year. My advice: Go next year!
Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band never fails to put on a fabulous show. I had never been to their holiday show at the Taft but will not miss another one. Great set of music, even got into the Christmas spirit with Feliz Navidad. The Tillers killed it as the opener too. Made some new fans that night.
I am a new, absolute fan, of The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band. The opening number really set the tone for the whole show. Call me crazy, but I had a Primus flashback....could just be me! Whatever we are calling it, The Rev and company really put on a great show and I can't wait to see them again.
I haven't seen them in years...I loved them the first time I saw them perform, and this performance did not disappoint!
My favorite part was when Breezy set her washboard on fire and smashed it on the stage.
First saw this band in Sturgis, SD At the Full Throttle Saloon during the Motorcycle Rally. Very unusual band. We were impressed and hooked as fans right away. I was thrilled to hear their home state is Indiana meaning we would see them again. It was a great show in Cincinnati at the Taft. He claimed he was losing his voice but there was no sign. Will definitely go see thus band again!
Although way too loud for me, I loved the whole damn thing. I was let down they didn't play the persimmon song, but otherwise very happy with the whole show. It went way later than I expected and the resulting tinnitus was an unwelcome feature, so plan accordingly.
