4A Daily News – Thursday, November 1, 2012 Pastimes Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band Roaring out of the south- ern Indiana foothills comes Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band playing a brand of Americana and Blues that stands alone — Delta blues and hillbilly fervor combine with musical acu- ity sharp as razor wire. This trio is a force to be reckoned with. Their new album "Between The Ditch- es" is a chronicle of this lifestyle, it arrived Aug. 7 on Side One Dummy as the band hit a plethora of festi- vals and club dates all sum- mer. the new album with major international touring and play Red Bluff at State The- ater for the Arts on Monday, Nov. 5. Doors open at 6 p.m., show at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 and The band will celebrate available at Wink Fashion & Salon; Sky River Music and online at www.statethe- atreredbluff.com. Also available day of show for $15. The fifth album cele- brates the growl of a good truck engine, the fiercest passion for their country home and the importance of family. The uncanny ability to breathe new life into old forms of music give the Big Damn Band a pedigree many Americana acts would kill for and an iron- clad work ethic keeps them on the road playing for the people with hurricane force. The Rev. J. Peyton, his wife Breezy and distant cousin Aaron "Cuz" Persinger are a living breathing embodiment of the traditions and hard work ethic native to their Brown County, Indiana home. Between The Ditches features a new level of craftsmanship in both recording technique and songwriting. The Rev. feels that it's their best album to date."I'm very proud of this album, the songwriting and the playing." The guitar playing alone should put the Rev. in the same class with his much revered idols. The songwriting boasts an added maturity and runs the gamut in sub- ject matter from the barn burning, tongue in cheek, "Shut the Screen," (where "It's too dang hot and the bugs are too dang mean") to the evils of strip mining, an issue close to the hearts of this Indiana born and bred band in "Don't Grind It Down."

Allison and Victor have shared the stage with Blind Boys of Alabama, Tuck and Patti, and blues legend John Hammond. They released three CDs: "From the Back Burner" (2002), a Live" (2006) and "Cool like the Breeze" (2010). See www.allisonandvictor.com to lis- ten to music samples.
