Figured I'd better play a show while I'm in Denver so I snagged one at Denver's The Hi Dive. Come out and say hello, hear some of the new music and dance. Feb. 23rd, ticket information here: http://tinyurl.com/hidiveshow
Also, just before I left Colorado I teamed up with some talented young filmmakers to create this music video for "Life, Love and Pain" which was featured on MTV in 2012, take a look!
Finally, i've got some new t-shirts for sale, head on over to http://kylejameshauser.bandcamp.com/merch and snag one, it includes a free download of my first album!
In the 7 months since the release of "oh oh", my music career has grown exponentially. Between concerts, film/tv and album sales, I'm now able to shift my focus entirely to touring and recording full time. Over the coming winter I'll start working a new album to be released on sonaBLAST records sometime next year, and am moving to Louisville Kentucky to work and tour out of sonaBLAST's HQ.
I've truly loved the time I spent in Colorado and feel so fortunate to have gotten to make music and learn from so many wonderful, creative people. I want to express my deepest thanks to everyone who has supported me, whether by coming to a show, donating to my kickstarter, taking some lessons or just sharing some insightful conversation.
Thank You.
I will be back for many colorado shows in the future, but there are two big chances to see me play before I leave at the end of October:
I was invited to play at a tribute concert and film premiere for Elliott Smith a few weeks back. Elliott was a huge inspiration to me, and this song in particular. Check out the film "Searching For Elliott Smith". I was moved to record my solo banjo/voice rendition and film a music video, check it out below.
It happened, maybe it's happened before...Banjo on MTV! I'm proud to say that I've had another song on MTV, this time, Teen Mom! Check out out this link for a free download of, "Life, Love and Pain" all week!
Whew! Back from NYC and a great couple of shows at Rockwood Music Hall. Thanks to Will Knox for having me on thursday and to Sue, Gar and Chris and everyone at 350.org for our great event on Sat.
Back in CO for a while now and have a couple local shows coming up!
Hey everyone, it's been a great spring sofar! Between SXSW, getting a song on season 4 of MTV's 16 & Pregnant, touring the east coast and opening for Brett Dennen I'm feeling pretty hopeful about 2012!
week two on the road, sofar have had a great time visiting old friends and making new ones. thanks to everyone for being so generous and welcoming, and special thanks to my audiences for being so supportive and listening closely!

Also had a fun mention in Paste Magazine online today...it's a story about musician's college life and whether or not their degrees have served them well. I think I'm the only one in the article who has a degree in music...not sure if thats a bad sign or not...Read all about it here!
