Hedley guitarist looking forward to P.G. homecoming

Dave Rosin is calling it now. There will be a surge in the sale of lozenges on Friday, if he has anything to do with it. His goal as a member of rock band Hedley is to get the audience singing along. When he gets to do it in his hometown, he wants the crowd to overpower the group.

"I want to hear about a lot of sore throats at work the next day," he said with his customary laugh.

The high-energy, good-natured P.G. boy with all the guitar skills and backup vocal talent was a natural fit for frenetic lead singer Jake Hoggard when he was firming up a band after his solo success on Canadian Idol (Hoggard finished in the Top 3).

Rosin had been in previous bands Day Theory and Everything After prior to getting the call in 2005 to work with Hoggard as a unit. It has been almost nonstop since then, and on Thursday they bring it all around to the arena where Rosin used to play minor hockey and watch the Cougars play before he moved to the Lower Mainland after high school.

Hedley bringing the Storms

Hedley lead guitarist Dave Rosin grew up in Prince George, and brings some good childhood memories back to his hometown for a performance Feb. 13 at CN Centre.

During an interview with The Citizen, he remembered winning a PlayStation for being a top paper boy. He sold the game console and bought a guitar with the money instead.

"Best thing I ever did," said Rosin. I'm so stoked to be coming back to P.G. again. I had a great time growing up there and, for a working town, there's so much love for the arts and appreciation for music."

Hedley brings the Vancouver band's fourth album Storms the evening before Valentine's Day.

"The Storms blowin' through," Rosin laughed. "Even though P.G. is landlocked, we're bringing the boat to you guys. I keep wondering, you know, how are we going to get shipwrecked when Prince George is land locked in a bowl? Maybe we can float down the Nechako!"
