Peter Holsapple (born
February 19,
1956) formed, along with
Chris Stamey, the singing, songwriting, and guitar-playing core of
the dB's, a 1980s jangle-pop band from
Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He became the band's principal songwriter and singer after Stamey's departure. The dB's were at the forefront of the guitar bands from the southeast in the 1980s along with
R.E.M.,
Let's Active, etc. The dB's never achieved the prominence of R.E.M. but was critically recognized and is still greatly appreciated today. The band, with Stamey back in the fold, has reformed with new material in 2005-2006.
