Rev Dave Trio

About

The Rev Dave Trio brings a more acoustic take to roots music than its mother-band, Rev Dave and the Sin Eaters. The group is an exploration of contemporary and traditional folk roots and focuses on interpreting old and new classics with sweet harmonies and some fine picking. Americana was invented by The Band and Neil Young, and you don’t need to like the American President to like Americana music!


The Trio consists of: David Peddle (vocals/guitar) has written over 250 Americana songs, inspired by legends from Johnny Cash to Neil Young.
Andrea Monro (vocals/banjo), a gifted songwriter influenced by Joni Mitchell and Emmy Lou Harris, has performed across Canada and Europe, contributing to numerous projects.
Doug Randell (electric/steel guitar), a multi-instrumentalist shaped by country, blues, and rock, brings expressive style rooted in influences from Vince Gill to David Gilmour. Together, the trio reimagines classics while creating heartfelt, roots-inspired music.

About Andrea Monro

Singer/Songwriter
Genre: Country/Folk

Andrea Monro – VOCALS/ BANJO- was born at the Grace Hospital in St. John’s and nurtured in idyllic Eastport. She was surrounded by music lovers and grew up singing in choirs and daydreaming under the piano while her father and brother played everything from Scott Joplin to Franz Liszt. Following the eclectic elevation of her youthful education, Andrea found herself drawn to Bob Dylan’s delicate and rootsy, Boots of Spanish Leather. Under the guidance and encouragement of legendary songwriter Ron Hynes, she learned to play guitar and started writing songs. A very talented songwriter in her own right, Andrea has drawn on the influence of Emmy Lou Harris, Joni Mitchell and Bonnie Raitt. She has performed all over Canada and in Europe and can be heard singing and playing banjo on the albums of many Newfoundland artists and in collaborative projects like Blue Star Juniper and Flower Hill. Andrea has appeared on all Rev Dave and the Sin Eaters’ Albums.

About Doug Randell

Guitar Player

Doug Randell – ELECTRIC GUITAR/STEEL GUITAR – built his first guitar with his father, a boat-builder, in his hometown of Englee. The first tune he picked out was an old twelve-bar blues and, watching TV on Friday nights, he was taken by Tommy Hunter who caught his eye with the picking that began his show. The first band he played in, at fourteen, was Full Force from Halifax and he has never looked back, playing with such others such as Tommy Cash and Marty Haggard. His guitar style traverses a wide range from Vince Gill and Brett Mason to David Gilmour. He loves the clean twang of country and the smooth in-your-face phrasing Gilmour brought to Pink Floyd and his solo projects. A multi-instrumentalist, Doug also plays steel guitar with the Sin Eaters. Here Tommy White, from the Grand Ole Opry, and Paul Franklin, the great Nashville session player, have been formative. You’d never tell from his exuberantly expressive playing, but music has allowed Big Doug, as he is affectionately called, to overcome his chronic childhood shyness.

About Rev. Dave

Singer/Songwriter
Genre: Country/Folk

David Peddle – VOCALS/ACOUSTIC GUITAR- is a singer-songwriter who has written over 250 songs in the Americana vein. He is the front-person for Rev Dave and the Sin Eaters. Listening to his father’s band practice in the basement imprinted musical tones and textures on his childhood soul. Being kept awake by CCR and Kris Kristofferson, Chuck Berry and George Jones, Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley was formative. In a certain way Dave just never grew up, and he doesn’t advise it either! Dave’s writing is in a distinctively roots vein, he is inspired by the deep and common pool that nurtures Country, Folk, Blues, Rock, Jazz and Gospel.
