With over 300 covers in rotation, the Reverend has the varitey of material necessary to keep the toughest standup club laughing or the rowdiest bar audience tapping their feet and shaking their hips (when they arent blowing beer out their noses).
When accompanied, the Reverend employs musicians of stunning acumen: Windham Hill acoustic jazz guitarist Sean Harkness, Bob Coons (guitar) of the Jerry Garcia Band, Gordon Stone (Banjo, Pedal Steel for GSB, Phish, Pine Island) and others. The Reverend has shared the stage with Reid Genauer (Asembly of Dust, Strangefolk), Spookie Daly Pride, MTV music licensing phenoms Motorplant, members of the Jerry Garcia Band, NYC East Village ragtime sensation Chris Lowe (Van Ronk ragtime) and more.
If you are looking for a drop dead hilarious Rated-R show of standup or comedic music, you will find it with the Reverend, who has a proven track record in colleges, bars, and comedy clubs from New York City to Boulder, CO. Drawing from a dizzying array of influences, your audiences will love him for his voice, his jaw dropping lyrics, his off the chart sense of humor, and if nothing else, his sterling good looks. When the Reverend leaves town, and you stand blinking in your scorched underwear wondering what the hell just happenned, you will realize slowly from the crazed looks in the eyes of those around you, the Reverend just happenned.
