The Rev Peyton's Big Damn Band - Muncie Three Trails Music Series 7:00pm @ Canan Commons 500 South Walnut Street
REVEREND PEYTON’S BIG DAMN BAND TO HEADLINE FREE CONCERT IN MUNCIE, INDIANA
Acclaimed country blues group The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band will be performing in a FREE outdoor concert as part of the 2024 Muncie Three Trails Music Series. The concert will take place at 7:00 PM on Saturday, July 27th at Canan Commons (500 South Walnut Street) in the heart of Downtown Muncie! Muncie's own Lovesick Moan will open the show. Lawn chairs, picnic blankets, and dancing are always welcome! We encourage you to come early, and to come hungry and thirsty to enjoy local food and beverage vendors before the show. This concert is sponsored by DeFur Voran, thank you!

The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band at the 2024 Muncie Three Trails Music Series
There aren’t a lot of Warped Tour veterans who can claim proficiency in the use of bottleneck slides, washboards, and five-gallon buckets. Most didn’t spend their teens playing along to Charlie Patton and Bukka White albums. And just about none are fronted by a commissioned member of the Honorary Order of Kentucky Colonels. Say hello to Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band, the greatest front-porch blues band in the world!
Reverend Peyton is recognized as one of the world’s foremost country blues finger-style pickers, playing the bass with his thumb while picking the lead at the same time. His prowess has been recognized with multiple Blues Music Awards nominations, including in 2021 for “Best Blues Rock Artist”, as well as being the cover subject for Vintage Guitar magazine. But the Big Damn Band isn’t just about the Reverend. Beside him on stage are his wife, “Washboard” Breezy Peyton, playing with all the nuance and percussive power of a New Orleans drum line, and keeping the train moving is Max Senteney on a lean drum kit that includes a 5-gallon maple syrup bucket. But one listen will convince you that there's nothing dusty or sentimental about Peyton's music. There's no songs about picking cotton. They aren't a museum piece. The Big Damn Band have taken nearly a century of country blues history and crafted a thing all their own. “I like songs that sound happy but are actually very sad,” Peyton says. “I don’t know why it is, but I just do.”
The Big Damn Band has built its reputation the long, slow, hard way. After 12 years of playing as many as 300 shows each year, in a total of 37 countries, the biggest little band in the country has pieced together one of the most dedicated followings out there. As audiences everywhere will tell you, there is not another band out there that sounds like this or has a stage show of this caliber. So get ready to celebrate, because that is what you will end up doing when Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band graces the Canan Commons stage!
The Muncie Three Trails Music Series is a non-profit partnership between Muncie Downtown Development Partnership, Muncie Arts and Culture Council, and Rick Zeigler, series founder and organizer. The mission of the series is to bring critically acclaimed, national recording artists to perform at Canan Commons, Muncie’s premier outdoor performance venue, located in the heart of Downtown Muncie. A second mission is to promote the many recreational, artistic, and cultural attractions located along, or in close proximity to, Canan Commons and Muncie’s popular “Three Trails” -- The White River Greenway, Cardinal Greenway, and Muncie Arts and Culture Trail. We hope attendees will heed our slogan, “Explore the Trails, Enjoy the Music!”
A BIG thank you to Ball State University for sponsoring the entire 2024 series! Complete information about the Muncie Three Trails Music Series can be found at our website here:

The Indiana Chitlin Circuit @ Cuplets 5:00pm @ The Cup 1606 West University Avenue
Cost: FREE Admission with Menu Purchase! Please join us for a very special evening, presented by Cuplets, Live Poetry at The Cup, on Sunday, July 28th, at 5p, The Indiana Chitlin Circuit!
RSVP HERE:
https://facebook.com/events/s/the-indiana-chitlin-circuit/8336938519661109/
This Hoosier project is based on the historical Chitlin Circuit that sprouted during the period of Jim Crow segregation. African American performers weren’t allowed to share a stage with white performers, so a network of live entertainment venues in the US emerged that catered to black audiences and black entertainers. The PuICC facilitates and shares the pride and verve of the historical entertainers that burgeoned (bur-jn) African American entertainment throughout America.
With the PuICC, three poets collaborate, creating an atmosphere of artistic excitement, all three sharing the mic, taking turns reading a piece of poetry inspired by the last piece of poetry read. Each poet feeds off the other, not knowing what to read until that VERY moment. This magical round-robin of sorts goes on for about 20 minutes. We will take a small break and then each poet gets a solo set of about 10 minutes. As a group each, our poets read a poem by lucille clifton – line by line.
This is unlike any poetry event you have been a part of and it is likely VERY different than what you’ve seen or been audience to! We are excited for you to experience this with our very own Indiana State Poet Laureate, Curtis L. Crisler, and two of our local poets, Cuplets Host, Abigayle Devendorf, and Gayle Radwick!
Admission is FREE with a purchase from the menu of The Cup! 🥯☕️
Join Cuplets monthly on every 4th Sunday at The Cup at 5p! The Cup is a coffeeshop/restaurant at 1606 West University Avenue in The Village by the campus of Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. Free parking is behind the café, enter the parking lot off of Dill Street by Be Here Now.
