New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Rev. Peyton, known for his viral shotgun guitar video and virtuosic slide guitar, is back! This time Rev literally sets his best friend on fire, and all hell breaks loose behind Rev. Peyton's Big Damn Band as they perform "We Deserve a Happy Ending" on their own front porch in the new video from the upcoming March 10, 2017 album release Front Porch Sessions.
"We researched these dangerous Hollywood-style stunts and my best friend, Jim Connor, volunteered to let me set him on fire inside my house," says Rev. Peyton. All of these people, animals, and machinery were all packed inside of Rev. and Breezy's tiny cabin in the Brown County Hills. "These folks are just our friends and family," Rev. Peyton says. "We are lucky to be surrounded by hillbillies, performers, artists, daredevils, and adventurers." With almost no budget, this video is one continuous camera shot and was captured by Rev's good pal and photographer Tyler Zoller in one take. It's all DIY, but all the proper precautions were taken. Rev. urges people not to try this at home, especially if you live in a wood house.
Washboard Breezy, Rev. Peyton's wife and band member, says, "The song is stripped down,
Maxwell Senteney plays a suitcase just like on the record, but it sounds huge." "It's all about the vocals," Rev. Peyton adds. "Max and Breezy make the song for me."
Rev. Peyton's Big Damn Band is:
Rev. Peyton - guitar, vocals
Washboard Breezy Peyton - washboard, tambourine, snaps, claps and vocals
Maxwell Senteney - percussion, suitcases, buckets and vocals
Produced and directed by Rev. Peyton
Videography and editing: Tyler Zoller
Production Manager: Jayme Hood
