David and Erin Rose (Rosey for short) met in the summer of 2012, at an open mic at Benny’s Bagels on Broadway in Vancouver. They played in the 5 piece indie rock band The Cattails for about a year before deciding to go out on their own and formed Jitensha. Their first album “Buck Moon” was released April 29th 2014.
That summer they traveled the whole perimeter of the US, living in their Toyota Sienna and playing at every open mic they could find.
They eventually landed in Montréal, and began their life as “métro rats” performing often in the eclectic subways. That summer they threw their hat into the sunny streets, singing oldies covers in the old port of Montréal.
In autumn 2015 David and Rosey toured Eastern Canada with the Hamilton, ON based non-profit Live Different. They survived gale force winds in Newfoundland, the bus falling into a ditch in Cape Breton, and a devastating house fire in P.E.I. It was an eventful, breathtaking trip that filled them with further musical inspiration.
The following spring the pair made their way to Brisbane, Australia to begin their new life as a lounge duo aboard P&O Australia’s Pacific Dawn. They would end up doing three contracts with P&O, traveling much of the South Pacific and making countless friends and connections. Their EP “Vol. 2” was released in 2017.
Wrapping up their life at sea, in 2018, they set to work on their second album. They took a break that summer to tie the knot in Colorado.
2019 saw the duo pick up steam as they started to tour in Ontario and Québec. They released their second album “Periscope” that summer and celebrated with a 32 date cross Canada Tour.
In 2020 their first US tour was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They were bummed but used the free time to write many songs, livestream and explore the beautiful province of Québec.
