Americana and rock music will be on the bill for Sunday’s Levitt AMP Series concert in Galva’s Wiley Park.

Performing will be David Rosales and Dyer Davis III.

Rooted in Americana and bathing in West Coast sunshine, Los Angeles-native David Rosales aims to shed some light and happiness during this unprecedented time with his recently released eclectic 12-track sophomore LP — REVIVE .

“Strange times need good vibes,” says Rosales. “I’m ready to give the world a much-needed dose of positivity.”

In conjunction with the release of REVIVE, Rosales and His Band of Scoundrels have been on the road, offering an uplifting and spirited live performance a sound that pairs well with contemporaries they have shared the stage with such as Ben Harper, Brandi Carlile, Matt Costa, The White Buffalo, Donavon Frankenreiter, Pokey LaFarge and Steep Canyon Rangers.

Rock, blues and soul will be themes of Dyer Davis III’s show.

Davis is an American singer / guitarist, who released his debut album for WildRoots Records in February. He spent the last eight years of his young life as a rock artist, recently departing from the band Rubber Soul Child. 

Now at 23, he has returned to the music that first inspired him to become a musician. As a child his father also, a musician, turned him on to the music of the 60s and 70s. 

The artists that spoke to him the most were the blues-based rockers, especially the early Jeff Beck records featuring Rod Stewart. This instilled in him the importance of the blues as the key foundation of the music he was drawn to.

The Sunday, June 30 concert starts at 6 p.m. There is no charge for admission and food stands will be available. Those attending should bring lawn chairs.
