Saturday, Jan. 28 – Music Room SOBATL Presents: Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band with support from The Muckers
Genre: Country – Blues / roots / Irish Folk
Two time BMA nominee’s The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band are the greatest front-porch blues band in the world. They are led by Reverend Peyton, who most consider to be the premier finger picker playing today. He has earned a reputation as both a singularly compelling performer and a persuasive evangelist for the rootsy, country blues styles that captured his imagination early in life and inspired him and his band to make pilgrimages to Clarksdale, Mississippi to study under such blues masters as T-Model Ford, Robert Belfour and David “Honeyboy” Edwards. Now The Big Damn Band is back with a new record “Dance Songs For Hard Times” that debuted at #1 on the Billboard and iTunes Blues Charts and was produced by Grammy winner Vance Powell (Jack White, Chris Stapleton). The record is critically acclaimed by Rolling Stone, Relix, Popmatters, Guitar World, American Songwriter, No Depression, Glide, Wide Open Country, Paste, American Blues Scene and many more!
The Muckers are a five-piece folk-rock band from Atlanta. With a strong emphasis on Irish music, the band also blends influences of Romani music, sea shanties, country, rockabilly, and anything else they can get their hands on.

The Late Night Losers are an indie rock three-piece hailing from Gainesville, FL. Formed in 2021 with the goal of creating Honest and poignant stories with their music, The Losers are known for their emotive lyrics and dynamic live performances.
Okay Kenedi had been newly surfing the Atlanta music scene when she met producer, Dan Hannon (Manchester Orchestra, Paris Jackson, Julien Baker), in late 2021. The two joined forces, accompanied by a handful of team members, and spent 2022 quietly constructing the world’s introduction to Okay Kenedi’s music, artistry, and live performance. Recorded at Ivy Manor in the legendary city of Muscle Shoals, OK’s unreleased debut album marries lyrical artistry to alternative pop production. She sums up her mission and message best by writing and releasing music for people who might think who they are is not okay to remind them that “we’re all okay.”
