What songs are you hoping Hanson plays during the Beyond Perennial concert at Hanson Day this year? The Hanson Day page says, “Hear rarely performed songs from their 2020 album Perennial, as well as many more from the massive archive of members only music.”
Perennial was released in 2020 and is a public collection of 20 previously released Hanson.net Members Only songs as well as the new song, “Nothing Like a Love Song”. There is quite a skew in the number of times the songs have been performed live ranging from 1 to 55. Which ones are you most hoping for as part of the Beyond Perennial setlist? How many songs do you think will end up being on the setlist? (For reference, 2022’s Storyteller’s set had 20 songs while 2023’s Underneath Acoustic revisited had 15.)
