The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band to play The Grand Social.

Returning to The Grand Social tomorrow, for their fourth appearance are Indiana’s bombastically-named blues trio; The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band.

Part of a string of tour dates across Europe the The Rev. and co. are set to bring their grungy, foot-stompin' brand of Delta blues to the Dublin venue for a stormer of a show.
Their live shows are typically sweaty, raucous, and brashly personable, and though there are only 3 member, the moniker ‘Big Damn Band’ certainly fits.

The trio consist of Breezy Peyton on washboard, Ben Bussell on drums (and 5 gallon bucket), and the eponymous Rev. Peyton on lead guitar and vocal duties.

Their use lo-fi, improvised instruments such as the washboard and an up-turned 5 gallon bucket along with the raspy steel-bodied guitar results in a raw, authentic blues sound.

With a sound reminiscent of Blues icons Son House and Charley Patton the Indiana band are the real deal. Dedicated enough to their art to sell everything they own, up sticks and tour the world at a ferocious 250 show a year schedule. To date they have toured over 20 countries worldwide.

The Big Damn Band have recently released ’So Delicious, their fifth full-length album and first release on Yazoo Records, an American label famous for Its blues pedigree.

The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band are playing The Grand Social Saturday night. Tickets are available at www.tickets.ie and at the door. Doors open 8pm
