Ep. 142 - The Magic of Raising Well Rounded Kids! | David Rosales and Bryan Ward

Musician and singer-songwriter David Rosales joined this episode of Dad Up just before starting his summer road tour. Rooted in Americana and bathing in West Coast sunshine, Los Angeles-native David Rosales aims to provide a light at the end of the Pandemic Tunnel with his new 12-track sophomore LP, REVIVE (out July 22, 2022). “Strange times need good vibes,” says Rosales. “I’m ready to give the world a much needed dose of positivity.” Following his acclaimed 2018 debut, Brave Ones, and subsequent tours, Rosales settled into MAPS Studios in Fullerton, CA to record REVIVE in late February of 2020 with his friend, co-producer and touring drummer, Mike Willson. With the addition of a 'Memphis Horns' style brass section to his group of backing musicians, Rosales makes it clear that his sound has grown since the release of Brave Ones. The majority of tracking was completed during a two week session and with REVIVE finished, Rosales and his Band of Scoundrels were set to hit the ground running in 2020 with tours planned both domestically and abroad. Then, COVID and the lockdown hit. Rosales is more than just a musician. He is an outdoorsman, family man and does everything he can to give back to the community. He's never one to sit still and with REVIVE shelved due to the pandemic, Rosales shifted gears. Seeing how scared & stretched his community was, he took to playing weekly neighborhood “Driveway Hop” concerts so people could have a release and feel socially connected. Additionally, through his non-profit charity, BraveOnes Foundation, Rosales was able to distribute PPE's and Meaningful Meals to various in-need families and health care heroes throughout his local community. With REVIVE's summer release on the horizon, David Rosales & His Band of Scoundrels are set to hit the road, offering an uplifting and spirited live performance.
