Music Events"Reverend Deadeye" from the U.S will be playing in Nyon at the Parenthèse tonight, Thursday the 24th September from 21:30 According to an extract from his website; "The Reverend Deadeye is the Reverend’s son of a Reverend’s son. He spent his youth handlin’ snakes and performin’ at tent revivals alongside his Pentacostal family on the Navajo reservation in Arizona. This sacred musical heritage finds its way prominently into his performances. But don’t expect a Sunday mornin’ church service; instead, expect a Saturday night baptism with fire holy rollin’ revival".
