Dan Petruzzella has been making music on the guitar for over 25 years. As a young, rambunctious kid, Dan had expressed a deep love for hockey, Formula 1 racing, and music; especially the passion and fire of guitar music. His influences include Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Billy Gibbons, Steve Lukather, and Joe Perry, along with Stevie Wonder, Al McKay, and Robben Ford, to name just a few. Dan fuses rock, funk, and blues together to bring a style that is uniquely his own, to every stage he performs on.
A native of the San Francisco Bay Area, Dan Petruzzella can be found sharing his love of rock, funk, and blues at many clubs, as well as private and corporate events, throughout California. Please check the calendar regularly to see when he's performing in public near you.
Dan remembers what it was like learning to play the guitar while he was growing up. He currently shares his talents and insight by teaching numerous kids and adult beginners throughout the Northern San Francisco Bay Area. Dan specializes in teaching beginners, because he appreciates and understands their innocence and excitement about making music, just like he had experienced early on. His teaching style nurtures that passion, to bring an understanding of the instrument, and a love of making music, that will last for years to come.
