Dave Hause has released new record, Blood Harmony on Oct. 22 via Blood Harmony Records.
“Writing anything about this song or topic makes me squirm. Gary was a kid I knew who got bullied in school. I wish I could say that I did the right thing and stuck up for him, but I didn’t, and it has bothered me for over 30 years. The idea started when I actually said to a friend that was pregnant ‘don’t name him Gary’ about her baby, out of fear that maybe the name is what would bring torment to her innocent kid.” Hause says about the record. “It felt like a great opening line to a song—the narrator is urging his wife not to name their unborn son Gary as a means to confessing what he’d done as a kid, and it ended up being a cathartic, bizarre song to write. I wish I could take the hurt I caused back, maybe putting this song out is the next best thing.”
In addition, Hause will be making the following appearances this fall, tickets are now available.
