Known as “one of the greatest porch bands in the world”, they are led by Reverend Peyton, who in his own right, may be the world’s premiere finger picking style player. Determined to be a source for that rootsy, country blues style that captured his imagination as a kid, Rev. Peyton and his band took to Mississippi to train under the likes of T-Model Ford, Robert Belfour, and David “Honeyboy” Edwards. 

That training has shown to have succeeded with their last record Dance Songs for Hard Times found itself at #1 on the Billboard, Itunes, and Sirius XM Blues charts. The record produced by GRAMMY winner Vance Powell, was critically acclaimed by Rolling Stone, Relix, Popmatters, Guitar World, American Songwriter, No Depression, Glide, Wide Open Country, Paste, American Blues Scene and many more!

 

Their new record “Honeysuckle” is a collaboration between Peyton and Powell. With Peyton recording and producing the record, while Powell had his hand in mixing it. The record features many special guests, including gospel music group The McCrary Sisters on the song “Manger,” Blues Music Hall of Famer and Grammy-nominated harmonica player Billy Branch who plays on the Blind Lemon Jefferson song “Nell (Prison Cell Blues),” Grammy award-winning and IBMA’s 10-time Fiddle Player of the Year Michael Cleveland plays on “Freeborn Man” and Colton Crawford from The Dead South plays banjo on “The Good Die Young.”
