We just announced a new record from Philadelphia musician Dave Hause this week. Now, Hause is back in the SPB news section with the announcement of Sing Us Home festival, taking place May 5-6 at Manayunk's Venice Island with 11 artists/groups set to perform. Besides the singer-songwriter Dave Hause, additional performers include Kathleen Edwards and Craig Finn (The Hold Steady), local ska-punks Catbite, Tim Hause, Lydia Loveless, Drive-By Truckers, and more listed in full below.

The festival also coincides with the release of his new album.

In a statement, Dave Hause says:

For the first time in my career, I get to bring my favorite bands, songwriters, food, and friends to my old neighborhood and share it with all of you. We are going to mix local Philadelphia food, working class wit, California vibes, acoustic music, punk rock, the Mummers, craft beer, tattoos, art, storytelling and good old fashioned fun to present a rock and roll weekend that WE would want to attend.
