Time Will Tell EP

Dave Hause recently embarked on a little project that involves five indie labels. He took two artists from each label and covered a song from each. The first in the series comes from Chunksaah (though it wasn't the first to be released.) The first half of the 7-inch features alternate versions of Hause's, "Time Will Tell" and "Meet Me at … Read more

Pray For Tuscon
Bridge Nine (2012)
The second installment of Dave Hause's 7-inch series comes from Bridge Nine. Lots of interesting choices for Hause to choose songs to cover from.

We’re close to the end of Dave Hause’s 7-inch series. The fourth in the series comes from Sabot Productions.

I was stoked to see he’d be covering The Promise Ring and Jets to Brazil … Read more

Patty EP
Independent (2020)

The concept for each is similar: highlighting the work of some of his favorite songwriters, albeit from different directions.I’m also coming at the Patty EP from a new perspective. With Paddy I was well versed in Dillinger Four. This … Read more
