Mar 31, 2026 | Hanson
This week is an important one. Most importantly, as we close the door on the specific season of the Hanson.net membership, we are thinking about two words, THANK YOU. Your engagement, connection and trust in us has allowed us to realize crazy dreams and to put into the world some melodies and stories that we hope leave the world just a little bit better than it was before. The community of Hanson.net has been at the heart of our pursuit of sharing music and we are so honored so many of you have helped cultivate something so much more than a web site or a fan club. It really has been a community and one that we hope we can re-imagine.
We are planning a lot of changes on the site and the community but what is unchangeable is the incredible connection we all gain through music. What a gift to make music that we all can sing along to. We know what it is to be inspired by the sound of rock ’n’ roll, and the dream we have been chasing for over 30 years. It is amazing is we have been able to share so much of that dream with you.
As we shared last week, you can expect more shows this year coming to places mostly across the US in 2026. As we reorganize and re-imagine some of the web site content as well, we will be keeping you up to date via email, but we expect it to be a bit more on a project basis, built around new announcements and upcoming activities instead of the weekly blasts we have done for years. As we re-think a lot of things, we are excited to open new doors and put our heads in the mindset of new beginnings and we hope you will too.
Whether we are sharing a song for the first time or someone is joining a concert who has never seen one before, there is real power in remembering that fresh feeling of the new. On that theme, you can check out this week's Stories Blog which will be available to the public Hanson.net. It is all about the idea of new frontiers and embracing the first time. The first step, the first song, the first flight, the first introduction to a new person or place. You can’t discover the things you love without first embracing the new.
Excerpt from Stories Part 22. From Us To You
When we first played a gig I can remember the trembling in my feet. It was a mix of energy, excitement and what I hardly recognized as ‘nerves’ because I was so happy to be in that moment. I remember looking to my right and my left at my two brothers. We didn’t have to know what was going to happen tomorrow because we had the blind optimism and belief that our desire to sing and get on stage was worth the time of the audience we hoped would show up. Maybe ignorance is bliss, or maybe bliss is loving something so much you look past the fear, but no so far that you think about the things too far ahead. You live right here, on the stage, in the moment with the challenge in front of you, and the challenge just feels like a joyful leap. One way or another, there is no trick to get you to the next show, you can’t skip the first time.”
We can feel the warmth of spring coming with summer right behind it and we can feel the excitement of sharing things. We have a lot to celebrate so far and we have no doubt a lot more still to look forward to. We’ve done some things a million times, and learned what works well (and some of what does not). We also have many things left to do, you can’t skip the first time!
Thank you for hanging with us through a lot of seasons in the Hanson.net community, there are more cool things to come. Thank you for joining us on the journey, so far.
Thanks For Listening
Isaac, Taylor and Zac

I will take a screenshot of this post 'cauase right now I'm so sad that I can't read it.
I will miss being a member, and all that this website has given us over the years: hnet as it is right now has all of our history and I will miss everything.
I don't have more words right now. I never imagined living this ending of the membership. I just really hope that it's not the ending of the band.

Good lord this made me tear up....loved the use of the word reimagine and I can't wait to see how you do reimagine things and also what all you guys have planned for the future as it seems like you do have plans. It doesn't seem as bleak as it did last year or heck even last week. Really loved this: We also have many things left to do, you can’t skip the first time!

Ugh Krystal. That got me.
Guys, I am unbelievably grateful that I could be a part of something so amazing. Thank you so so much for everything here. So much connection, so much content, so much music. Even the odd DM to my account 😪
You guys helped me through my fears so I could reach for the stars. You really taught me to not wait for tomorrow. Not to lose myself in my fear. To chase my dreams. So I did. I have been able to fly across the world to see you with a fear of flying. I started a business which was terrifying and I called it Rebels and Dreamers Pilates Studio 🥹🩷 I have your lyrics on my studio wall reminding people to keep company with rebels and with dreamers.
Thank you for the music 🎶 💔💔😭 this is going to take some time to sink in. See you soon somewhere in the world 🌎🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Rachel

I really did not expect this to hit so hard...goodness 😭....you hooked me with mmmbop in 1997 and I'll forever cheer you 3 on. I've taken for granted that there will always be a show every couple years close by to go to. (Hopeful that doesn't end). So so thankful I was able to make it to Hanson Day 2025 and see y'all in your hometown and element at least once🥹and Im going to miss these Friday stories....
Thank you guys for taking those first steps and blessing us all with your music! I pray you are blessed in whatever the future holds as well! Much Love ❤️💚💙

I could barely read this post for the tears and typing a reply is even harder 😭 There are no words...
I'm so thankful that I've been able to see you guys live twice. Memories I will never forget ❤️💚💙
I remain hopeful that this is not the end of you guys and that there's so much more to come. Ive been loving your music since 97 and will always be here, listening 🎶 Hopefully see you in the UK again in the future 🤞
❤️💚💙

I wasn't expecting this to make me tear up, but here we are. I'm echoing the many here, but thank you for everything you've poured into this fan club and given us over the years. You gave us a community, a safe space, a place to connect with like-minded people. Thank you for the music, the streams, the connections, the friendships...
These memories may not amount to much, but I'm so glad that we've got 'em.

"These memories that we got, might not amount to much, but I'm just so glad that we got them".
- Actually, this gave me so much HOPE! To see the words: "reimagine", "first time", etc. I get it! You guys need to gain back that creative freedom you've been longing and craving. I can already sense a sense of relief and see more optimism in you than ever before!
- Although, I'm sad H.Net is going away for now- I'm so excited to see what is on the horizon for you guys with your music, your creativity, and what you "reimagine" this site to be! I have always held onto HOPE and I've been praying so hard about all of this, and now, I don't feel so sad. I feel.. excited, relieved, stoked, HAPPY. There is always something worth fighting for & I am glad you 3 are fighting for it. I know this new chance.. this NEW journey is gonna be a good one!
I can't wait to be in the audience again cheering and having a blast. Hanson concerts are what we all think of as our escape from the everyday... it brings so many so much JOY & we just cannot wait to all be in that audience with all the possibilities surrounding us, sharing a song & a smile.
Oh, the possibilities for the band: HANSON... our BAND which is BETTER than any other band, since 1992!
I will be here... listening, watching, & waiting again like it's 1997 & 1998 all over again. The magic in all of this is we will be excited and waiting for these updates like the little kids we were in the 90's. There's the magic.. going "back to the basics" and getting excited for NEW and exciting BEGINNINGS.
Because... "every NEW beginning comes from some other beginnings END".
Yes, I'm ready for it. And I will be here like I have always been. No, like WE** have always been.
So much LOVE to you Isaac, Taylor, and Zac! Thank YOU for it all and for all the greatest memories. Cheers to NEW beginnings_ can't wait till we "get there".
Love always, your fan Lauren- Massachusetts, USA.

Did anyone else notice there's no stories part 22?

@LittleRobin I think the story is gonna get released later this week from how it was worded(the public hnet so after hnet changes from members only to a public website)

Ps- I feel like these lyrics are very fitting right now for the community.
"The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you get one more yard
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part
Yeah, the waiting is the hardest part"- Tom Petty.
But sometimes the WAITING* is the funnest part. Like waiting for a Hanson concert... the months of preparation. The months leading up... the days leading up.. it's what I believe Hanson have been trying and searching for awhile. The excitement of it all. The excitement and the lead up to that one defining moment. I've never felt so excited and happy to "wait" because I believe, this could be, the very best part of the band that we are just YET to see!

Stories are posted on Fridays. They were just giving a preview.

“Thank you” just doesn’t cut it. You’re not just a band - more like a constant. A feeling that’s carried through most of our lives.
It’s a bloody sad day seeing h.net wrap up, not going to lie. But what you’ve built? That’s forever 🎶
I’ll be right here 🇦🇺 still listening, still waiting to see what’s next 🤍
Beyond grateful 🫶🏼

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! For everything!!
Being a part of this fan club for so long has been awesome! I'm definitely sad that this version of it is over, but when one door closes, another opens, right?
I'm hoping for another Nantucket show this year because I wasn't able to make it to the one last year, but I heard it was such a great show!
I'm just looking forward for the day a few years from now when the blog post about a new album goes up with presale links and packages and a tour announcement lol :)

I hope they will be coming from the three of you locked up in one studio and then standing on one stage ♥️💚💙
Thank you, Hanson, for everything you've created. It's a treasure.

… also clinging onto the possibility it’s all an April Fools joke 😆 I promise I wouldn’t even be mad

Absolutely breaking my heart during one of the most difficult times of my life... Hanson is so ingrained in every part of me. I still have my massive memorabilia collection on display in my home. I have a Hanson tattoo. I'm know for wearing only Hanson and Disney tops. I've had many Hanson theme named pets, and even my 3rd son is named ZAC, after our favorite drummer. The last show I got to see, San Francisco 2022, I was pregnant with Zac. His father and I had been together over 16 years, and he got down on one knee during the finale "Every Word I Say", and proposed. Zac, and all my kids, love Hanson too! Unfortunately, they recently witnessed domestic violence and their father being arrested. It's been an absolutely devastating time, with all the things we've found out and all that's happened since. I've been listening endlessly and it's no joke when lifelong fans like us say how life changing losing this space will be. I will miss this so much. Hoping for Better Days ahead, and wishing you all the very best! All my love, forever and always!
