MMMMMBop .... Hanson's Back!

Everyone's favorite band of brothers from 1998 are back in town for a show at First Avenue on Friday, September 26th, 2008. Now that all three brothers are married and have kids their music has matured just as much as they have.



Like their last tour, this Hanson tour will benefit their charity interest TOMS Shoes which provides shoes to people living in Africa. After their last tour they were able to donate and deliver 50,000 pairs of shoes to Africa, something the band hopes to do again.

Every time Hanson is in town I always say I want to go, but I never make it!
However, First Avenue tickets for Hanson shows always fly out the door. Hanson is smart because they know not to play somewhere, like the Xcel (I'm talking to you New Kids on the Block!) that they cannot sell out. The demand is far greater than the supply First Avenue can offer, but they are at least they are selling out shows instead of playing to a half house at the Xcel!
