# Event Details - **Event Name**: The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band - Levitt Pavilion Dayton, Dayton, OH - Free Show! - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 12 Jun, 2026 at 07:00 pm - **Event Description**: The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band Friday, June 12, 2026, 7 PM Levitt Pavilion Dayton 134 South Main St. Dayton, OH 45402 937-281-2144 All Ages Free Show! Three 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. Their last record Dance Songs For Hard Times went #1 on the Billboard, iTunes and Sirius XM Blues Charts and was produced by Grammy winner Vance Powell. The record 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 was produced and recorded by Reverend Peyton and mixed by six-time Grammy winner Vance Powell (Chris Stapleton, Jack White). 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." Part of the Rick & Tawnya Stover Blues Series. The evening will also feature opener Paid Leave as part of the Projects Unlimited & Wyse Family Foundation Gem Series. Bring your lawn chairs or blankets, enjoy local food trucks, and experience another free night of live music in the heart of downtown Dayton. As always, everyone is welcome on the lawn.
