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 becomes 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.
ROCK HARD,
DRIVE FAST,
AND LIVE TRUE.
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.
I need some Psychobilly Freakout from the good Reverend.
Would love to finally take my husband to this. The last time I saw him I was in college!
I’m ready to freak out!
This would be a blast!

I’ve always wanted to see them but suffer from severe social anxiety. Im working on it and am better now but broke.
I haven’t seen him in years!!’
Jimbo owes me money….
This is the show! THE REVEREND is the bomb!
Please pick me!! Thanks
sounds like a real good time!
Cuz I thirst for an infusion of the raw, analogue old school Holy Ghost pre-punk Zeitgeist to survive another slow-drip winter in the digital age. Plus my dancing has been said to make bands play better. And mostly cause I can’t afford tickets with my new mortgage.
J-I-M-B-O
Time for church with The Reverend!
“They live their lives by the Gospel of Rock & Roll.” We have a lot in common!
But, I thought that Steve Miller was the only “space cowboy?” I’d love to see the Reverend Convince me otherwise!
Bring it on!!!
Will not bring “Bales of Cocaine” or “Marijuana” – will have a Psychobilly Freakout!
Dream come true!
Heat me up!!!
One of my favorite bands, playing also with Black Joe Lewis, another amazing Texas musician. I would love to go!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lets here some good blues.
I was downtrodden, my soul was crushed and The Reverend was there there to heal it. No lie. Now the the wheel of fate has messed with me again. And music is the best fix. If you can, let us all win. But if you can’t, help out a soul who could use a boost. Thanks
Favorite band ever! Would love to see the Rev in all his glory!!!!
