Danny Hauger Podcasts
every week. I picked my favorites for a new annual tradition of a New Year, new album. This collection is my most varied yet, combining my history of acoustic rock with individual songs of the hip-hop, rock, folk, and electric genres. In some ways "Laddering" ventures sideways into many explorations, but focuses on the theme of climbing and progressing to a place of certainty, and wondering when and where that place is.

"Songs to Wake Up To" - 2017

This collection is my most varied assortment of studio recordings, singer-songwriter influences, and acoustic reflections that I have ever produced.
