Boy band grows up: Hanson, heartthrobs of the ’90s, is still making music — their way

Hanson found fame when the members were teens and have moved forward making music in a new era.

Hanson found fame when the members were teens and have moved forward making music in a new era.

Taylor Hanson is not a fan of standing still.

This is why Taylor – the middle brother of the trio Hanson – spends his time balancing family life and the band, which has been in the music industry for 20-plus years.

“We have a unique set-up now,” he says. “We produce our own music and are in charge of all of our merchandise. We run our website and have full creative control.”

Taylor, now 30, and his brothers Isaac and Zac skyrocketed to fame in the late 1990s with their huge hit, “MMMBop.”

WHEN: 8 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 17
WHERE: KiMo Theatre, 423 W. Central
HOW MUCH: $28-$88 at kimotickets.com or holdmyticket.com 

Since then, the brothers have navigated their way into adulthood. They’ve also changed their sound from pop to a blues-inspired sound.

“We knew from the beginning that we were going to be around for the long haul,” Taylor says. “What’s been great is that each one of us has grown as a person and as a musician. We have different perspectives on what life is all about. We’re all fathers now and we are working at balancing that part into our lives.”

Hanson has released 11 studio albums and its latest, “Anthem,” was released June 18.

Taylor says the songs that would eventually become part of “Anthem” started from the trio’s frustrations.

“We had hit a little bit of a wall,” he says. “So we took the majority of last summer and didn’t write as a group. When we came back together last fall, there was a different energy. There’s a sense of size and space and there’s more fight in it and we’ve brought a new attitude to our music.”

What’s also new is that the brothers introduced some R&B elements to their songs.

“The songs are emotive and it’s about moving forward with our music,” he says. “We were in a different place and we found a new path for us.”

Taylor is looking forward to continuing to grow alongside his brothers with the band.

“The challenge for us growing up in front of the world is maintaining purpose and not getting diverted,” he says. “We started the band not for celebrity. It was always about making music and carving our place out there in the industry. We’ve been able to do that and it’s an amazing thing.”

HANSON BROTHERS MMMHOPS BEER

When we heard that ’90s trio Hanson had jumped into the beer-making game, we knew we had to try that pale ale! After several rounds of sipping—and, yes, singing—the taste test results were unanimous: Mmm…beer! The hoppy brew was smooth, light and refreshening. Plus, knowing that all proceeds go to the American Red Cross disaster relief fund, made it taste even better. (mmmhops.com)

Message From The Band

It is amazing how time flies. Already we are three weeks into the US/Canada leg of the ANTHEM World Tour. The past week has been very full with five shows in a row and a Members Only Event in Memphis. Some days it takes an extra red bull or two to make it to the stage, but you will rarely sleep more soundly than when you are working hard doing something you love. It does not hurt that we are rocked to sleep each night as we roll down the road with the rumble of the bus in our ears. We are really excited to have the new live DVD finally out of the shadows, we are really proud of the way the audio came out, and the quality of Tom Lord Alges mix’s. Looking forward to when the final product gets into peoples hands and stereos.

Isaac, Taylor and Zac
