Horton's Holiday Hayride

Horton's Holiday Hayride

Presented by St. Johns County Cultural Events Division at Ponte Vedra Concert Hall

Hey Guys and Gals, aren’t you tired of dull holiday parties? Trade in those mind-numbing office and family gatherings for a holiday event you won’t soon forget!

Welcome to the lethal, littered landscape of Jim Heath\'s imagination. True to his high evangelical calling, Jim is a Revelator, both revealing and reinterpreting the country-blues-rock roots of American music. By day, Jim Heath is a mild-mannered musical historian well-versed in the birthing days of rock and roll. But when the sun goes down, he straps on his signature Gretsch 6120, steps up to the mike and is transformed into REVEREND HORTON HEAT, a hellfire-spewing, rock and roll daredemon. Jim’s tome is iconic: From recording with Lemmy Kilmister, being revered by country music legends like Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, touring with Soundgarden, ZZ Top, The Cramps, Social Distortion, White Zombie and the Sex Pistols (a young Lydon was connected to Jim’s original 1985 demo), to providing touring opps to upstarts Kyuss, Hank III, Marilyn Manson and countless others across decades on the road.

There\'s nothing like the primal tribal rock \'n roll transfiguration of a Reverend Horton Heat show. Jim becomes a slicked-back 1950’s rock \'n roll shaman channeling Screamin\' Jay Hawkins through Buddy Holly, while Jimbo incinerates the Stand-Up Bass. Listening to the Reverend Horton Heat is tantamount to injecting pure musical nitrous into the hot-rod engine of your heart. From the High-Octane Spaghetti-Western Wall of Sound in \"Big Sky\" to the dark driving frenetic paranoia of \"400 Bucks\" to the brain-melting Western Psychedelic Garage purity of \"Psychobilly Freakout\" The Rev\'s music is the perfect soundtrack to the Drive-In Movie of your life.
