“There are moments when he approaches the sounds so
often attributed to folksy storytellers, but... He’s a singer-songwriter whose
work pointedly defies characterization,” says The Southern Sounding in its premiere
coverage of “Get My Shit Together”
by D.B. Rouse! Listen

“Definitely comedic, reminiscent of some of our
favorite Weird Al favorites,” says Imperfect Fifth about the hilarious music

D.B. Rouse is America’s least-earnest traveling troubadour.
Offering up all the sincerity, none of the pretense, Rouse is armed with a guitar (nicknamed
“Meal-Ticket”) and a kazoo. In fact,
he is sponsored by Kazoobie Kazoos,
natch. A poet with an absurd sense of humor, the Milwaukee-based former cruise
ship lounge singer, goat farmer, and cabana man, will release a new album Choices
Were Made on February 1st.
Hear the album’s
first single “Get My Shit Together,”
streaming now.
Recently, one choice made resulted in Rouse becoming yet another musician
robbed of his gear while on tour. Rouse’s
experience contains an unusual fact, however: The gear was stolen while Rouse was in the vehicle it was stolen
from. With his van doors unlocked due to Rouse
and his wife sleeping off a night of drinking in the back, thieves quietly
worked in the front, absconding with Rouse’s
laptop and most of his instruments.
In other words,
it’s not all fun and kazoos.
“It could have been so much worse,” Rouse admits. “What if we had woken up?
What if they were armed? I was ready to quit,” he confesses. “Ready to quit
touring, quit music, quit everything.”
Instead, after
the insurance company refused to cover the cost of replacement, Rouse reached out to his fans. Owing to
the relationships Rouse has built
through that unique quality of pretense-free sincerity and humor, he was able
to replace the gear. Even so, he did
quit one thing: Drinking. And with that, Rouse
continues the pursuit of his dream to be “the best damn hobo musician in the
world.”
Choices Were Made by D.B. Rouse
is out on February 1st, 2019,
preceded by the single “Get My Shit
Together,” out now.
