Brothers Isaac, Zac, and Taylor Hanson may no longer be the kids with long, blonde hair you remember, but the guys still make it work all these years later. See for yourself when the band—along with newly added opener John Calvin Abney—play St. Pete’s Jannus Live on Sunday, July 17.
Whether they’re rerecording the tunes that made them famous with an orchestra, or collaborating with Cheap Trick guitarist Rick Nielsen, the Hanson boys always seem to keep busy. Following the November release of their long-awaited Against The World album, the brothers announced a new album and tour to mark its 30th anniversary earlier this year. Just five dates into the run, Hanson returns to Jannus Live for the first time in five years.
Keep an eye out for MMMHops, an actual beer that has been produced by Hanson Brothers Beer Company since 2013 and most definitely get there early to see Abney open the show.
The Oklahoma songwriter and John Moreland sideman possesses one of the heartland’s most captivating vocals and uses it—along with an unparalleled understanding of the guitar—to paint warmth, kindness and empathy into his work; we hope he gets to share a lot of a forthcoming album, Tourist, with the Bay area on this one.
