It seems that so many shows at the Southgate House Revival have that “Saturday night vs Sunday morning” dichotomy, with stomping rhythms and raucous shouting that walk that fine line with one foot in the juke joint and one foot in the church – fitting for a converted chapel. That same vibe was on display as Brown County, Indiana’s Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band and Paducah, Kentucky’s own Colonel J. D. Wilkes brought the final night of their Blues Revolution Tour to SGHR on Saturday night, stomping and shouting their way through a history of hillbilly, blues, and gospel music.

J.D. Wilkes is a man of many talents – songwriter, author, Kentucky Colonel, and a monster on the harmonica. Whether he’s touring with his Legendary Shack Shakers, or out solo, Wilkes’ always puts on a first-rate show.
