Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band is from Brown County, Indiana, which is located just east of Bloomington. Their style of southern blues matches well with New Orleans.  They play with great energy and a strong stage presence. The band consists of Reverend Peyton on guitar, Washboard Breezy Peyton, and Jacob “The Snakob” Powell on drums. 

Midway into their set, Rev plays an axe that has 3 strings. It’s a great moment that looks and sounds awesome.  

At the end of the night, the band returns to the stage for Gaelic Storm’s encore. First, the lead singer says they are going to play an Irish song and they launch into “Take Me Home, Country Roads” by John Denver. Afterwards, the combo band plays one of Reverend Peyton’s songs. Lastly, they played an Irish song that had the entire crowd dancing along. It was a fantastic close to a great night of music.
