Hanson isn’t above a clever gimmick.

The ’90s trio behind the unforgettable cultural sensation “Mmmbop” just announced that they’re taking off on their ‘Underneath Experience Tour’ this fall. They’ll play their 2004 album “Underneath” in its entirety two nights in a row at venues all over North America on the run.

That’s not all, though.

Each night will be wholly different ‘Underneath Experience’ experiences.

On night one, Taylor, Isaac and Zac will perform an acoustic version of the 13-song record along with special guest Matthew Sweet. To sweeten the deal, all “night one” shows will be followed by an afterparty DJ’d by Taylor.

After that, they’ll return to the same venue the following night for an electric set accompanied by Phantom Planet.

And, yes, they’ll bring their unconventional tour to New York City.

Their first night (aka the acoustic set) goes down at Palladium Times Square on Wednesday, Oct. 16. The brothers will fire up the amps for their electric night two on Thursday, Oct. 17.

“Underneath”

The 13-track 2004 record is a departure from the boy band’s well-documented bubblegum pop sound.

Over 54 minutes, they lean into hard-charging yet harmonious rock, jangly indie pop, soaring ballads and radio friendly jams about misery all while wearing their earnest hearts on their sleeves.

Undeniable highlights include the infectious opening track “Strong Enough To Break,” shiny, Hall and Oates-esque “Lost Without Each Other” and energetic “Get Up & Go.”

Don’t skip the horn-heavy “Crazy Beautiful” either. While Hanson clearly tried to escape the “Mmmbop” sound, you can hear a bit of the undeniably catchy hit in there.

(Big Hassle Media) Hanson is marking two decades of independence with a major 20th-anniversary celebration of their landmark third album, Underneath, including an expanded deluxe edition re-release, unique concert tour, and more.

Released by their own 3CG Records in 2004, Underneath immediately ascended to #1 on Billboard’s “Top Independent Albums” chart amidst critical and popular acclaim around the globe. Underneath: Complete will see the album joined by two brand new recordings along with seven rare tracks from the original sessions. Among the highlights are fan favorites previously heard only on special project releases and bootleg recordings of live performances, including collaborations with such icons as Carole King, Glenn Ballard, Matthew Sweet, and more. Underneath: Complete arrives via 3CG Records on Friday, October 4.

Underneath: Complete is heralded by today’s premiere of “Penny & Me (Moonlight Version),” a newly recorded take on the beloved hit single which harkens back to the emotionally intimate textures of folk icon Nick Drake while also elevating HANSON’s signature harmonies to extraordinary new heights.

“Underneath represented a bold new chapter for the band which sparked a powerful connection between our band and fans around the world, who helped re-define a new generation of independent music releases,” says Taylor Hanson.

“This album is very personal to us,” says Isaac Hanson, “and we are really inspired by the fresh recording of ‘Penny and Me’, which we feel brings even deeper emotional weight to this song about the power of music and connection.”

An official music video is streaming now at YouTube featuring the return of Samaire Armstrong who played the Penny character in the original music video reprising her role, alongside Taylor Hanson’s daughter Penelope Hanson being introduced as Penny of a new generation. The video was directed by actor/writer/director Natalie Morales who cites the band as creative inspiration for her work in the entertainment industry.

Says Natalie Morales, of the project, “Watching the music video Gus Van Sant directed for Hanson’s “Weird” was the first time I remember thinking that maybe I could direct someday. Somehow, I grew up and I’m lucky enough to get to direct movies and music videos, and one day this past April, Taylor Hanson called me out of nowhere and asked if I would want to direct the music video for a re-recording of my actual favorite song of theirs, “Penny and Me”, and it turned out to be an incredibly moving and special experience, entirely shot under the full Pink Moon. I couldn’t be prouder.”

HANSON will further celebrate Underneath’s milestone anniversary with a very special North American headline tour. The Underneath: Experience Tour will amplify the history of the pivotal album, with two-night stands in 12 cities showcasing all-acoustic arrangements on Night One, while Night Two will feature the band in full electric power. The tour will also offer an exclusive late-night dance party hosted by Taylor Hanson. The Underneath: Experience Tour gets underway October 3-4 at Minneapolis, MN’s The Fillmore, and continues through a pair of shows at Los Angeles, CA’s The Belasco on November 10-11. Special guests on the tour will be Matthew Sweet on Night One, and Phantom Planet on Night Two

While the world knows them as the kids who sang “MMMBop” in the 1990s, fans know Hanson as a talented multi-platinum-selling Grammy-nominated trio of brothers with a catalog of multiple studio albums.

Isaac, Taylor, and Zac are going to be hitting the road on a new tour in 2024, and they announced they’ll be kicking this tour off with two concert dates in Minnesota.

The tour, being called “Underneath: Experience Tour”, is being billed as a celebration of Hanson being an independent act and their third album “Underneath”, which came out in April of 2004.

The band will be celebrating with a re-release of the album that will feature some rarities and new recordings. In addition, the trio will embark on a 12-city tour this fall.

In a release from the band, they say the tour will feature a series of two-night experiences in each city they visit. The first night will feature all-acoustic “unplugged” arrangements of their music, while the second night will be a full-band electric performance. The tour will also offer an exclusive late-night dance party hosted by Taylor Hanson one of the nights.

The tour kicks off in the Twin Cities, with two shows at the Fillmore Minneapolis. Night one in Minnesota will be on Thursday, October 3 at 7 pm. This acoustic night will be kicked off by opening act Matthew Sweet, and this is also the night of Taylor’s dance after party, after the show.

Night two is Friday, October 4, also at 7 pm at the Fillmore. This is the full, electric show that will also feature opening act Phantom Planet.

The band is selling tickets in different combinations for this two-night experience. You can buy tickets for just the night one concert, night two concert, the after-party, and for the full two-night experience.

Tickets go on sale at 10 am on Friday, June 14 via the Hanson website. You can see more about these shows and details about the rest of the tour here.

Mark Steele Creative 

When it came time to revisit one of their biggest hits, the Hanson trio reached out to friends, both old and new. Rock band Hanson invited long-time friend Mark Steele of Mark Steele Creative to produce the music video for their new 20th Anniversary version of 2004’s “Penny & Me.”

Peaking at #2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart, the 2004 song was the first independent single from the band after they left Mercury Records. It launched their first 3CG Records album Underneath, still a fan favorite to this day.

The new track, officially entitled “Penny & Me (Moonlight Version),” is far more than a remake, leaning into Nick Drake as an inspiration, the song has a lighter touch than the original that invokes nostalgia and allows the verses – some of the band’s most poetic – to truly sink in as the brother’s show off their musicianship.

Hanson reached out to new friend, actor & director Natalie Morales to direct the video effort. You’ve seen Natalie on everything from Parks & Recreation, Grey’s Anatomy, Dead to Me, and The Morning Show, but she is also an accomplished director in her own right.

To round out the cast, the band invited original “Penny & me” actress Samaire Armstrong (The O.C.) to star as the original Penny – and then cast lead singer Taylor’s own daughter Penny Hanson (named after the song itself) to play a new, young Penny. Talk about full circle.

Producer Mark Steele has been a long-time collaborator with Taylor Hanson, as well as directing and producing several videos by the band. Steele said, “Rarely does one get the opportunity to work on one project with such a widely talented group of individuals who are also kind, generous, and pushing their art at the top of their game. Working closely with Natalie, Samaire, and the all-Oklahoma crew to achieve something so technically challenging and artfully rewarding was a benchmark moment. It is always a joy and a thrill to work with the brothers – and welcoming the next generation of Hansons into the project – not only Penny, but also her brothers as crew – made it all the more special.”

“Penny & Me (Moonlight Version)” is the debut single off of the 20th Anniversary celebration album of 2004’s Underneath entitled Underneath: Complete, which drops October 4. The single debuts everywhere TODAY – and the music video debuts exclusively today on www.People.com.
