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?
