The first thing that strikes you with Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band is the mighty Reverend’s beard. It is one of the more majestic examples of facial hair in modern music, and that’s saying something in this heyday of bearded folk-rockers. As soon as he starts finger-picking his resonator guitar and evoking the spirit of blues legends, you forget all about appearances. With his wife Breezy rapid-fire scratching on a washboard and Ben Bussell on a sparse drum kit, the Big Damn Band makes a big damn ruckus, which has made them favorites with punks on the Warped Tour as well as traditionalists who love the old-timey vibe
