Band History

It’s been about a 20-year journey for Reverend Horton Heat, aka Jim Heath, whose country-flavored punkabilly and onstage antics have brought him and his band a strikingly diverse fan base and a devoted cult following, not to mention the respect of fellow musicians worldwide.

By the way, how did the Rev. get his name?

“Well, there used to be this guy who ran this place in Deep Ellum, who used to call me Horton - my last name is Heath,” he says. “Anyway, this guy hired me and right before the show he goes, 'Your stage name should be Reverend Horton Heat! Your music is like gospel’–and I thought it was pretty ridiculous. So I’m up there playing and after the first few songs, people are saying, '˜Yeah, Reverend!’ What’s really funny is that this guy gave up the bar business, and actually became a preacher! Now he comes to our shows and says, 'Jim, you really should drop this whole Reverend thing.' "
