New Feature: Verified Lyrics

We are working on a new feature in the lyrics section of the site.  If lyrics have come from Hanson’s album notes or Hanson.net, they will have a next to the title to show that they have been verified.  This means they should be accurate.  This also goes for cover songs where lyrics came from official (or Google-ish) sources.  Songs without the check mark are lyrics that we have crowd sourced or transcribed ourselves and while they still may be correct, they have not been verified by the band.  (Some songs still going through the verification process may not have the check mark yet either, as this is a work in progress and we still have a few more CDs and tracks to go through.)

The Hansons Next Generation

Isaac Hanson, Taylor Hanson and Zac Hanson formed their band in 1992, and while they’re still performing as The Hansons, they’ve all taken on a new role over the years — fatherhood!

Taylor was the first of his brothers to start a family and welcomed his and wife Natalie Hanson‘s eldest son, Jordan (sic- Ezra), in 2002. Daughter Penelope arrived three years later, followed by River, Viggo, Wilhelmina and Claude (sic – Indy). Their seventh child, Maybellene, was born in 2020.

Taylor gushed to Today’s Parents in November 2017 about the benefits of a “bigger family,” explaining, “Everybody develops this innate ability to figure out how to compromise, work with others and realize that the entire world doesn’t revolve around you. It also encourages you to be an individual because you can clearly see your differences from a brother or sister. I see that with my kids: They’re very different, but I see that they love and respect one another.”

He went on to say that his kids were like “a crew” — which became a reality in 2019 when he took the little ones “on the road” during his tour.

“Because of the timing of these shows and everything going on with us, we decided now was a great time to stick together and do this as a family,” Natalie wrote via Instagram at the time. “So, we are back on the road! It’s been awhile since we’ve had the whole crew with us full time and its crazy to think how little they were in years past. Now we have these big kids who are so cool and fun and help out big time. So all you parents of little ones out there, hang in there! It gets awesome!”

As for Isaac and Zac, the brothers have three and four kids, respectively. Isaac shares Clarke (sic – Everett), James (sic – Monroe) and Nina (sic- Odette) with his wife, Nicole Hanson, while Zac and wife Kathryn Hanson are the parents of John (sic – Shepherd), Junia, George (sic- Abraham) and Mary (sic- Lucille).

In January 2021, Us Weekly confirmed that Kathryn is pregnant with their fifth child. “We feel really fulfilled and complete with five!” her husband exclusively told Us later that same month.

The Man Bun member added at the time: “We always try to make music a really natural part of our kids’ lives and encourage them to enjoy and pursue it without feeling pressure to perform or make a career out of it.”
