The video for The Rev. Peytons Big Damn Bands new song Clap Your Hands was shot in one day in a barn in Indiana. All of the dancers, artists, freaks, weirdos, cowboys, kids, donkeys, bunko steerers, chickens, and regular folks, who are all Hoosiers, all volunteered their time and talent because they believed in the song and the band. The video was directed/produced by the acclaimed music video producer Kevin Custer (Lil Wayne, Soldja Boy, Flogging Molly) who remarked the day of the shoot, it would have cost a fortune to get all of these props back in NYC. To which The Rev. Peyton replied, These arent props they are just crap you find in a barn!

over eight hundred miles from the grand ole opry and the birthplace of bluegrass, 8-year-old banjo picker jonny mizzone and his brothers, robbie 11, and tommy 13, might be the most unassuming bluegrass trio in the region. the sleepy man banjo boys are the result of faith in god, brotherly-love, and a passion for this fast pickin’ & fiddlin’ genre. though their combined age is younger than music’s hip-hop era, it’s the music of flatt & scruggs & ralph stanley that inspires the sound pouring from the strings of jonny’s banjo, robbie’s fiddle, and tommy’s guitar. just as comfortable plucking on his back, eyes closed, jonny was the inspiration, and the name had emerged: the sleepy man banjo boys were born.
