The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band Concert Sample

The magic of the internet. 24/7 access to anything. I hadn't thought to find a sample of the Big Damn Band on YouTube before now.

Big Blues

A week ago I was spending just about all my time at Portland's Waterfront Blues Festival--I must have seen more than thirty bands (I'm pretty obsessed with blues)--and the very best was Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band.
They have a super high-energy, high-attitude onstage presence.
Non-stop energy. And a unique acoustic blues sound. Their album Big Damn Nation turned out to be pretty great too, but most of all you need to see this band live. Punk-Hillbilly-primitive blues is the closest way to describe their in concert approach.

Those in the Portland area can see them again on August 2nd at McMenamins' Grand Lodge in Forest Grove.
