DAVE HAUSE is a Philadelphia native and staple in the heartland rock, folk rock and punk rock scenes. On a base level, the term ‘blood harmony,’ the name of his most recent album, is simple—it describes the specific sound two siblings make when they sing together. Given that Dave Hause has been writing and recording songs with his younger brother Tim for a while now, it made sense to use that phrase as the title for his fifth solo record. Hause’s latest music resonates deeply with fans and feels more significant than ever.

About Bobby Mahoney:
Bobby Mahoney and his band are a pillar in the New Jersey music scene. Having shared stages (like the Prudential Center) with the likes of Bon Jovi, or sharing space with Against Me!, Frank Turner, and The Gaslight Anthem, Bobby Mahoney and The Seventh Son are on their way to accomplishing greatness. With a punk rock, electrifying sound, they command the stage as if they’ve been doing this for a lifetime. The foursome includes Bobby Mahoney (Guitar, Vocals), Andrew Saul (Guitar, Vocals), Jon Chang-Soon (Bass, Vocals), and James McIntosh (Drums). A band to watch, a band to hear – one that digs into the deepest parts of you and pulls out that die hard rock n’ roll soul. Riding high off their latest EP release, “We Go On” the band continues to rocket forward to become a staple Jersey band, tried & true.
