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.
