After a rainy-yet-resilient second year at Manayunk’s Venice Island Performing Arts Center, Philly-born rocker Dave Hause is bringing his Sing Us Home Festival back to his hometown for a third year that’s even bigger and better. The headliners, announced late last year, were already cause for excitement: New Jersey punk icons The Bouncing Souls, UK fave Frank Turner, and Hause himself with his long-running band The Mermaid. Today, Sing Us Home announced its full lineup.
The Hause Family Campfire, which always opens the festival, this year stars Dan Andriano of Alkaline Trio, a solo AJJ performance, and an acoustic set from Dave Hause himself. Other new additions to the lineup include Philly indie rockers Speedy Ortiz, who just headlined both World Cafe Live’s Music Hall and shared a bill with Ovlov at The Church, Manayunk vets Buzz Zeemer, who last year released Lost and Found their first new record in 25 years, and Mary’s Morning Deathbed, which Google tells us is either a band featuring actress Jada Jarvis, a band known for a rock rendition of the Robert Frost poem “Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening,” a band from Jersey, or all of the above.
The additions to the lineup also feature Wilmington artist John Gallagher Jr., mysterious rocker Quarry, Dave’s brother Tim Hause, groove-oriented Austin artist Mobley, folk punk singer-songwriter Black Guy Fawkes, the Bucks County indie pop outfit Lullanas, and Asbury brass ensemble Ocean Avenue Stompers.
Tickets are available now at Sing Us Home Festival’s website; revisit our coverage of Sing Us Home 2024 here and its inaugural year in 2023 here.
