Originally from Wethersfield, CT, Dave 1st performed professionally as part of the Cape Cod-based a cappella group, Hyannis Sound (www.hyannissound.com).A graduate of Boston College, Dave began molding young musical minds as an elementary school music teacher before enrolling at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA.....There, Petrelli studied Songwriting and Vocal Performance and quickly distinguished himself as a promising and talented musician. His time at Berklee included numerous shows and concerts, culminating in his being chosen as a featured performer in the university's exculusive "Singer's Showcase" concert, a show in which only 8 vocalists per year are chosen to perform.

He immersed himself in the writing scene and soon began performing at some of Nashville's most prestigious songwriting venues.....Petrelli's rock-fused, piano-based melodies and soaring tenor vocals have been a welcome addition to the famous guitar twang of Music City, USA. His lyrics are deep and pure; his voice honest and full of emotion.....Whether performing with the backing of a full band behind him, or alone on stage with naught but a piano and microphone, Petrelli cheats his audience out of nothing. Patrons who come to see and hear him are exposed to the unadulterated soul of a singer/songwriter whose heart bleeds into every note and syllable.....His songs range from the symphonic and ethereal, to the quirky and whimsical. But through them all, each carries with it a signature and fingerprint that is exclusively his own....."After hearing a set of his music, if you don't know Dave Petrelli the person, you just weren't listening."
