#157 - Dave Hause

Dave Hause is a musician who wears several hats. On the road,
he’s the front man of a well-known punk band. One that travels
the world and releases music often. At home, he’s a family man
who can be found bringing his sons to school or running errands
out in town for his family. The juggling act of being a musician
with a family at home is a rewarding process. Dave said when he’s
home he is present. It’s an opportunity to show his kids a
creative life - a creative side that should be focused on more
for our youth. His family’s main rule is keep it balanced. He
hits the road in blocks so that he can recharge and also be
around the family. That way he can give his all when he’s in the
moment.

Hause is still going strong. Two records have been released over
the past year or so, plus his brother, Tim’s new record was
released in January. His brother brings a refreshing breathe to
music. Hause now lives in California and his brother is still on
the east coast, which means they have to find ways to record
whether that’s in-person or virtual. It’s an obstacle most
musicians deal with but at the end of the day he wants to create
music that the audience will love. Hause even says about the live
experience that he wants to give people what they didn’t know
they needed. There are a ton of fun stories In this interview..
especially the article Hause wrote about Taylor Swift being more
punk than all of us - a public piece that received a lot of
attention. There’s also a story about over the pandemic when he
put out cover songs of Dillinger Four. His record label, Blood
Harmony Records, that he managers with his brother, is a way for
them to self release. Each record shows growth for Hause.
