"The greatest front-porch blues band in the world.."
Three time BMA nominee's The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band are "the greatest front-porch blues band in the world". They are led by Reverend Peyton, who most consider to be the premier finger picker playing today.
He 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.
"It's 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."
Their last record Dance Songs For Hard Times went #1 on the Billboard, iTunes and Sirius XM Blues Charts and was produced by Grammy winner Vance Powell. The record was critically
acclaimed by Rolling Stone, Relix, Popmatters, Guitar World, American Songwriter, No
Depression, Glide, Wide Open Country, Paste, American Blues Scene and many more!
Accompanied by Rev's wife, the washboard virtuoso, Washboard Breezy Peyton, and kept on time by the deep rhythms of Jacob "The Snakob" Powell, Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band will leave you clapping, stomping, and singing along every handmade show across the world.
"Kindred spirits to Reverend Peyton are John Lee Hooker and RL Burnside.."
