David Rosales steps into 2026 at the dawn of his most defining creative chapter yet.

Rooted in Americana and sun-soaked California soul, the Los Angeles native delivers a guitar-driven sound bathed in the warm, lived-in glow of ’70s Laurel Canyon.

With his full-length solo debut Brave Ones (2018), he began a steady ascent that continued with REVIVE (2022) and its companion EP TRAILS (2023), expanding his audience across the U.S. and abroad.

He has toured extensively across the United States, sharing stages with Jakob Dylan and The Wallflowers, as well as Brandi Carlile, Counting Crows, Chris Isaak, Colbie Caillat, Ben Harper, and The White Buffalo — highlighted by a standout performance at Milwaukee’s iconic Summerfest.

Offstage, Rosales is a dedicated family man and co-founder of the BraveOnes Foundation, a Huntington Beach-based children’s charity honored by Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) with its 2023 Charley Award for “Most Outstanding Organization.”

Currently at work on his third full-length album, slated for late 2026, Rosales strips his sound to its essence, channeling the twang and shimmer of vintage ’60s surf rock — haunting sustain and rolling waves of spring reverb ushering in his boldest sonic shift to date.

In March 2026, he introduces this new chapter to European audiences for the first time with his Band of Scoundrels — Marko Sanchez (drums), Jarett Glodt (guitar), and Atreyu Adams-Meacham (bass) — delivering a dynamic live show that bridges his acclaimed catalogue with an electrifying new horizon.

==================

The potluck is optional, but is a great chance to connect others in the audience and maybe even share a meal with the artist. It also helps ensure the artist isn't having to have a meal from a gas station. We'll provide the plates, bowls, silverware, napkins, and, if you need it, serving utensils. Feel free to bring anything you'd like--an entrée, appetizer, dessert, or drink to share. Bring something you will enjoy eating, because if you enjoy it it is likely others will as well.
