In 1997, Tulsa, Oklahoma based Hanson burst on to the world music scene with their undeniable and universal hit album, Middle of Nowhere. They have since released a live album (Live from Albertane), a Christmas album (Snowed In), a collection of indie material (3 Car Garage) and their second critically acclaimed studio album This Time Around. Hanson have toured the globe playing live shows and have appeared with John Popper (Blues Traveler), Jonny Lang, Bob Weir (Grateful Dead, The Other Ones) and Ben Folds. They also performed for Brian Wilson’s induction into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame and have sung the national anthem at several national sporting events including the World Cup and the World Series. After nearly 2 years of work and collaboration with such artists as Matthew Sweet, Carole King, Greg Alexander (New Radicals), Ed Robertson (Barenaked Ladies), and Michelle Branch, Hanson are poised to release their new studio album entitled Underneath. The diverse collection of self-produced and co-produced songs are both lyrically stimulating and filled with classic musical hooks but the more mature sound is not without the trademark Hanson harmonies and classic soulful vocals.
"Big venues are fun just because it is fun to be in front of a lot of people. Now playing in a smaller venue on the other hand is great for other reasons. When you are in a theater that holds five thousand, or two thousand, the sound is great and the show is better for the audience. I know that is how I feel performing and when I go to see other shows. They are both kick ass."
