HNET Newsletter July 8, 2016

This pic is a bit of a blast from the recent past. This pic was captured in between frames on the official shoot for ANTHEM, with Isaac looking especially demure. Why don’t you tell us what caption you would put with this pic?

This week we are truly in the heart of summer. We were honored to spend most of last week entertaining our men and women of the US Navy in Southeast Asia with special performances during the July 4th weekend, bringing them a bit of home across the ocean. Being on-site with so many servicemen and women far away from home brought an entirely new gravity to the incredible debt we owe our military vets and their families. It was among the greatest honors of our career to be there representing our country last week, and we hope to be able to do it again.

This week’s pic looks back a couple  years to our ANTHEM shoot, with a shot of Ike looking dapper in full tux. This photo was brought to mind because we’ve been thinking a lot about all the great projects that have transpired over the last couple decades  as we plot out what will be coming for our 25th anniversary in 2017. We have some big projects planned, including trying to get in the Christmas spirit in the middle of the summer. Who doesn’t like a little “Christmas In July”?  On that note, we’re asking Hanson.net members to give us ideas for what songs should be included in our new Christmas album.  We are excited about finally recording a follow-up to “Snowed In” and taking all of you along for the sleigh ride when we start recording it this fall.  Staying in the Christmas spirit, members can also vote right now on the 2016 ornament design!  Who would have guessed that we’re all about the holidays right now?

Isaac, Taylor and Zac

Fan Club Exclusive: After years of fans asking, we are finally going to record a second Christmas album.  We will be going into the studio this fall, but before we do we want to hear from all of you. What songs would you like to see make the cut for Wintery Mix?  Submit your top five songs with title and also the artist you think did it best so we can get about the business of getting in the Holiday mood. Speaking of the Christmas mood, nothing sets the mood like a well appointed tree.  We have created seven designs all inspired by the 2016 EP’s Loud and Playand we want you to vote to choose which design will end up on the nice list.

It’s time to take a look back at HANSON Day 2016 and all the good times had by all. Watch the video on Hanson.net or YouTube!
