Turns out, the email I got about the show was a little misinformed. I thought the show was starting around 8pm, so we got there a little after 7pm. Turns out the show didn't start until around 9:30 or 10pm! Oh well, we just sat at the bar, had a couple beers and got to chat up Jason a little bit.
Jason went on first and it was kinda sad because not a lot of people knew who he was. Most people were there for Rev. Peyton as he had played there before. Jason's set was completely unplugged because he couldn't see the audience from the stage. I think at the end of the night, there were a couple Webley converts in the audience. At the end of his set he appropriately played his "May Day" song and we all learned how to do the "Gnome-y" dance (pulling your shirt over your heard and kicking your legs out). Fun stuff!

After that, Reverend Peyton took the stage with his Big Damn Band and played a great set of Delta Blues and old gospels and traditionals. He was really great and shared the stage with his brother on drums and pickle barrel and his wife, Breezy, on washboard. At the end of the set, Jason came back up to sing a couple songs with them. The last being "Two Bottles of Wine". They really kicked up the tempo of this and we all danced like crazy people. After the last song, they came back up for an encore but stated that nothing could top "Two Bottles of Wine"....except maybe doing it again, only this time a hell of a lot faster and louder! It was crazy and my voice is hoarse today from yelling out "two bottles of wine" in the chorus.
I hope these guys make it back up to this area sometime again soon. They are really the best!!
