SHANNON WHITWORTH

Shannon Whitworth heads to the Pub & Grill at the SFBC with her trio featuring Colorado’s own Jon Stickley, accompanied by Jake Hopping on bass. Shannon has been spending time since her debut solo album release focusing on songwriting and recording. Whitworth released her solo album No Expectations in 2007 after spending several years touring with acclaimed North Carolina bluegrass band The Biscuit Burners, which she co-founded. Shannon’s musicianship on old time banjo and guitar, vocals, and songwriting show her roots in Appalachia and that she truly is one of a kind. Dave Royko of The Chicago Tribune has said “Her vocals are some of the most expressive and sultry, that I’ve ever heard.” Fans would most certainly agree. www.myspace.com/shannonwhitworth

REV PEYTON’S

BIG DAMN BAND

 ”"Their latest full length CD, Big Damn Nation, is a hopped-up crash course in raw Delta Blues pounded out with crazed fury. But The Reverend is no modern primitive. Traces of the East Coast Piedmont Style and Southern Gospel heard in his high-energy guitar wrangling betray a clever mind, well-versed in numerous other genres, as well. Like a rabid wolf crossed with Leadbelly, Reverend Peyton bellows and howls wildly while his right thumb drops like a sledgehammer on the guitar strings, threatening to shatter his national steel under the force of his frenzied picking style…. Stomp your feet and clap your hands (boom-chank).This shit is red hot. (RH) Grade: A ” -Mike Breen, Cincinnati CityBeat ” - MIKE BREEN, Cincinnati CityBeat. 

“The Rev. Peyton swings country blues like a velvet hammer, its impact cloaked in rural tones and a timeless simplicity. Yet in an unassuming folk/Americana way, Reverend Peyton is capable of riling the same beast he soothes. It is this type of raw and immediate blues that addresses the human urge directly. It is this type of blues that justifies and chronicles the human condition. It is this type of blues that, in all its secular glory, can move the spirit, no matter how weak the flesh.
Peyton and his Big Damn Band - which also features his wife, Washboard Breezy, and brother Jayme, on kick and snare drums - were plowing through a set at a gig in Colorado one night when the fervor created by Peyton’s frenzied fingers, his wife’s work on the washboard, and his little brother’s bare-bone drumming had the room in a steady boil. For a woman near the stage, confined to a wheelchair, it was all she needed to hear. She got up.” - Frank De Blase, Rochester City Newspaper.
