Wow! This was the first podcast we've gone into a little "Star Struck"! You not only get a conversation with the Rev. Peyton, but Washboard "Breezy" Peyton and Maxwell Senteney also joined in on the fun. How do you go from the being the fan to being the interviewer? Have fun finding out the answer to that question with us. We talk some things music and LOTS about fishing.

Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band has built its reputation the long, slow, hard way. After 12 years of playing as many as 300 shows each year, Rev. Peyton, the world’s foremost country blues finger-style picker, along with the biggest little band in the country has pieced together one of the most dedicated followings out there.

With all the power of a freight train, the Big Damn Band is known for its live shows. Rev. Peyton delivers guitar pyrotechnics the old fashioned way — ten fingers, a 6 string and an amp cranked at full tilt. In the country blues style, he plays the bass with his thumb, while picking the lead with his fingers at the same time. When he lifts the guitar behind his head to play there’s nothing but skill and 16 gauge nickel strings to make the sounds coming out of the speakers.

Beside him on stage are just two other people. His wife, “Washboard” Breezy Peyton playing with all the nuance and percussive power of a New Orleans drum line, and keeping the train moving is Max Senteney on a lean drum kit including a 5 gallon maple syrup bucket. Together they play Peyton’s wildman country blues that’s as much ZZ Top as it is Bukka White.

The 6th Meridian Hops Farm show blew us away and we can't wait to see them again. If you haven't checked out a show you need to do it!!! Seriously!!!!

We've included the link to their website. You can find everything Rev. Peyton's Big Damn Band related there...including their own podcast!

Special thanks to these guys for taking the time out of their busy schedule to sit down with us
