HEAR

Dusty Sunshine Release Show The Hard Rock Hotel website lists The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band—a country-blues trio from Indiana—as the headliner, but we bet the crowd will be loudest (and most eager to drop coin at the merch table) when these Las Vegans play in celebration of new EP Deer Paw.
