What's Next For HANSON?
Jun 07, 2016 | ZacHanson
The next musical project we are releasing is going to be Play, but as we are nearly finished recording Play the logical question is always what’s next?
During The State Of The Band talk at HANSON Day we shared some of our plans for the coming year. For the next few weeks we will continue to share videos and photos from Loud. This summer will be a little quiet partly because of the growth of my family, but in the fall we will be recording again. Fans have asked us for years about a follow up to Snowed In, a second Christmas album. This fall we will go into the studio with bells on (actual bells) and record a full length Christmas album we are calling A Wintery Mix. Though it will not release until 2017 Hanson.net members will get to go behind the scenes as we record it this year. 2017 marks the 25th year of HANSON, yeah that sounds crazy, but it is true! We are planning to celebrate our bands birthday in style (meaning wearing stylish furry hats) and taking the celebration on the road with a world tour all leading to the release of a brand new full-length album. 25/7. We are not ready to announce where we will be heading just yet, but we plan to share the tour dates and locations soon enough for everyone to have plenty of time to make plans to come see as many shows as they would like.
25 years feels like a big moment, it feels like something worth remembering, and worth celebrating. We have had so many high moments and plenty of rough patches along the way, many more then the world will ever know (until I get a book deal) but our connection to each other and our music and to all of you has pulled us through every time. There is a lot to be thankful for, and a whole lot more to look forward to.

May I ask a question? Why telling us about the Christmas album in 2016 if it won't be released until fall 2017?

Because people have been asking about a Christmas album for years, and recording (and making of streams) start this year, Why tell us about the next studio album if... okay, sorry... maybe I'm pushing the point

@Paola Right? He should totally just self-publish. Traditional publishers take a fat cut, and a lot of their value is in marketing, because authors usually suck at promoting themselves. Hanson's fan base alone would eclipse most first-time authors' sales.

Not to be a nitpicker, but I don't see that he said the Christmas album would be released in fall of 2017, just simply 2017. So for all we know it might be released in January or February of 2017.
Also -- I want to read that book too!

@Kelly, it would fit - self-publishing would be the print equivalent of Hanson's 'indie' stance. You could offer your editing services ;)

You all give so much of yourselves to us. We could not have asked for a more amazing band. Thank you to all 3 of you & to your patient families.

Zac - First Congratulations on the expansion of your family. May everything go smoothly and that you get to spend some quality time with the new addition and your family as a whole.
Second: While quiet summer, please don't vanish. We all look forward to blogs whether they be news (like this one) or just random thoughts or random songs.
Lastly: I shall be awaiting news/updates on all these musical projects as well as tour dates because I may very well try to hit more than 1 this go round!
