About
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.”

Rating: 5 out of 5 The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band blew me away!
by motormouth99 on 1/4/13Bluebird Nightclub - BloomingtonI saw them for the 1st time on New Years Ever 2012 in Bloomington. I had no idea what to expect. They blew me away! An absolutely awesome experience and I will definitely see them again. Their timing is perfect, tons of energy, they clearly enjoy what they are doing...very entertaining. And loud! They reminded me of Flogging Molly. Rev Peyton has wicked guitar skills.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band was fantastic
by reveller on 1/2/13Bluebird Nightclub - BloomingtonThe Rev and Breezy Peyton are excellent performers and engaged the crowd easily and often. Rev is an outstanding guitarist and a showman with his guitar, playing it behind his head and then playing 2 songs at once. His rendition of "Auld Lang Syne" at midnight was amazing.

by beekeeper2 on 11/26/12Taft Theatre - CincinnatiFirst time I heard the Tillers and I like them. I really like the Big Damn band. The venue not so much. A concrete basement two floors down. Only the bodies of the crowd to absorb the sound. My db meter hit peaks of 106 thirty feet from the stage. The sound wore me out before the end. the lounge area made a good haven. The damn Band didn't bring enough cds. I couldn't buy one of each of the lot. I had to pick and choose. Good music to boogey to when I have some control.

by bmans on 11/26/12Taft Theatre - CincinnatiOverall, this was a good time. The music was fun (although somewhat repetitious) and the musicians were entertaining to watch. The Reverend is a good guitarist and I loved his many guitars, especially the cigar box one. The opening act was pretty awesome too. I would definitely go to see these folks again, but hopefully at a venue that has seats.

by suzizoo on 11/26/12Taft Theatre - CincinnatiThe Tillers opened up, and then Rev. Breezy and Cuz blew us away. Music was great, though a bit heavy on bass. Wished they would go on before 10 pm though.

by BastardGazza on 6/28/12Tralf - BuffaloReverend Peyton is destined to be remembered as a legendary guitar player by future players in the next century. How could anybody walking the earth today take a chance on missing witnessing a piece of history in the making?

Rating: 5 out of 5 Amazing as always
by CajunAmy on 5/7/12Bluebird Nightclub - BloomingtonThe first time you see these guys and of course Breezy live you're in complete awe, and an instant fan. There's no other show like it, and no one plays vintage guitars like the Reverend . There's always a crowd of their following - that's entertaining in itself -, but it's a huge treat to take someone for the first time. No question -- Go out of your way to see this band WHENEVER you get the opportunity to see them locally.

Rating: 3 out of 5 The Music was good
by wanderingchameleon on 1/2/11Bluebird Nightclub - BloomingtonAlthough an opening act was not listed anywhere, the Cox Brothers and Harsh Reality put on some really great original music prior to the Reverend's act. We got there early and were able to sit on the sidelines on a church pew and watch most of their music. When the Rev came on at 11 pm, we had to stand as the floor filed up with all the concertgoers. Rev Petyon and band was extremely high energy and entertaining. The problem with the whole event was the venue. The Bluebird smelled bad and was dark and dank. The worst part was the water dripping from the ceiling and landing on our heads during the Reverends show! Not sure if the roof was leaking or if it was coming from the air handler. At any rate, it made it hard to enjoy. I will never go back to the Bluebird for any event.
