Offering up sincerity sans pretense, singer-songwriter D.B. Rouse is armed with a guitar (nicknamed “Meal-Ticket”), a kazoo....and a charmingly absurd sense of humor. 

The Milwaukee-based troubadour (former cruise ship lounge singer, goat farmer, and cabana man) is prepping the release of a new album Choices Were Made on February 1st and today shares the delightful video for the album's first single, "Get My Shit Together."

Propelled by a summery, happy-go-lucky vibe, "Get My Shit Together" finds Rouse making the decision to put on one's grown-up pants and move forward - or maybe not - despite less than stellar circumstances and past experiences. It's a wholly relatable tale brought to life in an endearing and colorful video that blends offbeat humor with age earned wisdom and a hefty dose of heart.

Rouse notes, "This was directed and filmed by the astounding Andy Schlactenhaufen. In the video, our lead character, played by Brian Girard, wakes up after a 15-year-long party, and rolls out of bed. Brian does an excellent job portraying the janitor in all of us. He's got a hangover as big as he is, and it's waving at him. He's not really sure of much, but he knows it's time to put his janitor pants on. He walks into the cluttered warehouse of his mind and proceeds to get his shit together."
