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.”

i first seen Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band this summer at Summer Camp in Illinois! WOW!! This was my third show i attended for the summer :) Words or videos can not begin to describe the feeling when seeing them live. The energy felt in a crowd at a show is simply indescribable. If you get an opportunity to see them DONT miss it. You will not regret it!
The energy level of these three is amazing! Even if you don't like punk style music they will entertain you all night long! I met them in Clarksdale, MS this April before their Euro tour. They were leaving the next day and very excited about it. I am sorry to say I don't remember the drummer's name but he was fun to watch playing because even though he didn't have a mic he was singing along all night long! Good times at the Vogue. I may even see them in ATL because I live there, just happened to be visiting Indy for Thanksgiving. I am more of a heavy blues fan but this is a must see group for any music lover!
The energy of the show was incredible and the band sounded great. This was the second time i have gotten the opportunity to see these guys and i can't wait to see them again. I loved the fact that it was such an up close and personal venue and they were very interactive with the fans. I got to stand up front and witness it all.
Awesome show. Great musicianship and a whole lot of fun!
This is the fifth time I have seen the Reverend and family. They have never disappointed. Such amazing music and energy. They always seem so truly grateful for the fans that come out to see them. Their gonna be big, so don't miss out if you get the chance to see them at a smaller venue like the Tralf!!!
You may find yourself among a motley crowd of rednecks that hoot and holler throughout the show. That's OK. The fun is in the singalong lyrics, the foot stomping, the hand clapping, and the skillful "gitar" playing by Rev. Peyton. It's an experience miles apart from any big name band at MSG, and way better.
