(They had technical difficulties and had to stop the stream for a bit)

The stream came back and they sang Lean On Me – a song Zac said he had been singing all his life but they have never done live

Zac talks about going to camp with his kids
He taught them how to sing lean on me
They asked for camp experiences via Twitter

There should be a Hanson camp
Zac talks about the Mudder
BTTI but as a skiing event – how many would hit a tree
MMMHops + Skiing = bad
canoeing, smores, campfire songs is what theyre talking about

What are you looking forward to most on the tour?
They didnt tour last year to do different things – collabs, beer, etc
They are excited about shows and visiting their favorite cities
Playing live is an awesome experience
It has been a long time since they led walks so there will be walks on tour

Will you do music lessons on HDay – sort of done w/ lecture but not quite
That ticket will be really expensive
Members only stream – he did a how to (watching that stream will be really expensive)
You can play guitar w/ zac on the members only stream

Favorite camp experience – breaking arm so she didn’t have to go to camp
Saved from water moccasin – lived

Tour is covers/influences
Followed by Hanson catalog & rare songs
Will it be recorded? They dont know but it has been talked about
Wanted to put together an EP of cover songs but not sure if its happening or not
One way to get the recordings – be there!

BTTI Europe – good idea?
Find us an island!
Birmingham! Less tropical.

Best fast food burger
Most burgers don’t age well
Things that age well, indian food, burritos pizza
Burgers get soggy
5 guys is pretty great  (but not fries)
Wendys Jr Bacon Cheeseburger
The Brook in Tulsa

What memories from Unbelievable do you relate to most?
Jurassic Park.
My favorite line in jurassic park was “hold on to your butts”
action movies
People nostalgic about them because they were part of childhoods but listen to songs again and…
There are things from your childhood that actually were awesome like Ferris Bueller, Raiders of the Lost Ark
That is what they hope to be
Very Cherry jellybeans better than Dr Pepper
Something got confused in the 90s – Rex’s Boneless Chicken – not their favorite restaurant (double favorite)  The whole thing about jello and jelly beans that they got in the mail and they still have it. They are ok in a nuclear apocalypse

Will the tour go outside the US?
As of right now they dont think it is likely to happen.
The more feedback they get about interest the more likely it is
Tour is supposed to be close to home and they are markets where they have a solid following

Choosing the setlist for covers difficult?
It has been.
It’s not completed but they will start in September w/ rehearsals
Throwing ideas back and forth w/ open minds
Conceptualizing
Check PMs on Hnet to see ideas
Probably not a lot of hair metal – poison, whitesnake
Every rose does have its thorn
Their musical roots and influences – not really metal
Only old songs or new cover songs?
Modern songs are also inspirations so could be some current covers from recently
Travis

Are there more 90s lies?
Nevermind.

Questions have been less questions and more statements.
They’ve been questionable

The guys performed On and On

Members only songs during Hanson Night on tour?
That’s a big part of the intention

Awesome
