With a new album out, the lead singer of Rev. Dave and the Sin Eaters answers 20 questions - by Cameron Kilfoy
David Peddle’s earliest memories of music are being kept up at night by his father’s band rehearsing. Peddle, 60, said his father loved music, especially traditional country and classic rock bands like Creedence Clearwater Revival. Peddle added that he was heavily influenced by his dad’s taste. It was through the music his dad played, whether himself or on the radio, that showed Peddle how rock ‘n roll can blend and come together with other genres.

Reverend Dave and the Sin Eaters gearing up to release next album
The band’s upcoming release of Live at the Garrick is both a concert video and a live double album.
Reverend Dave and the Sin Eaters is a country-blues band that blends folk, country, and blues to create soulful, authentic music. The group released their first album in 2020. Lead vocals and acoustic guitar player Dave Peddle joined Bayfm’s Dean Clarke on “Scoffs and Scuffs,” on the Mother’s day edition of the show. Peddle says it made sense when they chose the name “Reverend Dave” since he had been a teacher of philosophy. The band’s upcoming release of Live at the Garrick is both a concert video and a live double album.

A musician in N.L. uses his white privilege to send an anti-racism message in song
The horror of George Floyd's death in Minneapolis last month has inspired a Newfoundland musician to write a song. But penning the words that came to his mind made David Peddle so uncomfortable, he was initially reluctant to put it down on paper. Peddle said he felt ill-equipped as a white man in Canada to present a message calling out systemic racism, so he connected with someone who could ensure he was being sensitive to the issues he felt compelled to address.

In 2017, David Peddle of Corner Brook had the overwhelming sense that world events were taking a turn for the worse. He decided his only course of action was to create an album of driving, toe-tapping country-blues music. "There was kind of an ominous vibe in the air that has sort of increased," said Peddle. "I wondered if it was possible to capture that dark vibe."
Peddle's band is called Rev. Dave and the Sin Eaters, and includes Newfoundland west coast music veterans Dan Hiltz, Scott Sheppard, Paul Harris and Louis McDonald.
The name comes from their love of old-time American blues, country and gospel music, and is inspired by early blues artist Rev. Gary Davis.
