Dark Water
About
Philosopher, Theologian, Songwriter and Frontman David Peddle Phd. decided the time was right to pair lyrics he’s worked on for years with the right band and a professional album - investing in his passion in hopes of a connection with an audience that crosses the genre and age gap in today’s music. With a Reverend persona, Dave pays tributes to various roots styles with a message that listeners can groove to and lyrics that allow contemplation - if you wish.
This album is inspired by the roots of country and blues music - getting into the waters of gospel, bluegrass, jazz and delta blues with lyrics that touch on religion and politics from a very insighted place. This album features fiery guitar licks, top notch fiddlin’, masterful piano and a rhythm section to keeps your toes tapping.

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.
