Three-time BMA nominee The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band is "the best front yard blues band in the world." They are led by the Reverend Peyton, who most consider to be the best fingerpicker playing today. He has earned a reputation as both a uniquely captivating performer and a compelling evangelist for the down-home country blues style that captured his imagination early on and inspired him and his band to make the pilgrimage to Clarksdale, Mississippi to study with blues masters like T-Model Ford, Robert Belfour and David "Honeyboy" Edwards. Their latest album Dance Songs For Hard Times reached #1 on the Billboard, iTunes and Sirius XM Blues Charts and was produced by Grammy-winning producer Vance Powell (Jack White, Chris Stapleton). The album has been praised by Rolling Stone, Relix, Popmatters, Guitar World, American Songwriter, No Depression, Glide, Wide Open Country, Paste, American Blues Scene and many others!
Their performances are rousing and full of energy, their music mixes blues, folk and punk, their lyrics tell of everyday life.
