Reverend Horton Heat at Bridge Street Music Hall — May 8, 2003

The Reverend Horton Heat tore through Bridge Street Music Hall in East Syracuse on a tour that found the psychobilly kingpin at the height of his live-show powers. Jim Heath’s band blended rockabilly fury with punk energy in a way that still sounded dangerous in 2003, and their Syracuse fans knew every word. Bridge Street was the right-sized room for a band that was always better in a sweaty club than an arena.
