Dave Hosley grew up in Simsbury,
Connecticut. He made his living playing the drums and singing in various rock
and Top –40 bands up until 1986 when he headed west to San Francisco to try
his hand as a solo entertainer, singing and playing the keyboard. Two weeks
after arriving in the Bay Area, Dave happened upon a quaint little restaurant
and lounge called Petar's, in the town of Lafayette. That was over
twenty years ago. Please check the schedule page on our site for a current
listing of show dates. Known for playing songs everyone knows and loves, Dave
mixes the classics with today’s hits, and he always takes requests from the
audience.
