Reverend Horton Heat with Special Guest The Delta Bombers

Sunday, July 9, 2023 – 8:00 PM EDT

REVEREND HORTON HEAT

Loaded guns, space heaters, and big skies. Welcome to the lethal littered landscape of Jim Heath’s imagination. True to his high evangelical calling, Jim is a Revelator, both revealing & reinterpreting the country-blues-rock roots of American music. He’s a time-travelling space-cowboy on a endless interstellar musical tour, and we are all the richer & “psychobillier” for getting to tag along.

Seeing REVEREND HORTON HEAT live is a transformative experience. Flames come off the guitars. Heat singes your skin. There’s nothing like the primal tribal rock & roll transfiguration of a Reverend Horton Heat show. Jim be-

comes a slicked-back 1950?s rock & roll shaman channeling Screamin’ Jay Hawkins through Buddy Holly, while Jimbo incinerates the Stand-Up Bass. And then there are the “Heatettes”. Those foxy rockabilly chicks dressed in poodle-skirts

and cowboy boots slamming the night away. It’s like being magically transported into a Teen Exploitation picture from the 1950?s that’s currently taking place in the future.

Listening to the REVEREND HORTON HEAT is tantamount to injecting pure musical nitrous into the hot-rod engine of your heart. The Reverend’s commandants are simple.

And no band on this, or any other, planet rocks harder, drives faster, or lives truer than the Reverend Horton Heat. These “itinerant preachers” actually practice what they preach. They live their lives by the Gospel of Rock & Roll.

THE DELTA BOMBERS

Formed in 2008 by four teenagers looking for a good time and a release of their rockabilly sensibilities the Bombers’ have grown end over end since then in more ways than one. Their humble beginnings have now grown the Las Vegas outfit into world leading roots Rock n’ Rollers clandestine and ready for any stage at any time. Not shy ofa live show their performances, now legendary the world over, as is their prolific singer song-writer front man Chris Moinichen. The strike team behind his howling vocals is Andrew Himmler on Guitar, Gregorio Garcia on Stand-Up Bass & PJ Franco on drums. The Delta Bombers exist only to continue what they started: A worldwide Rock and Roll revolution.
