Lectures & After Party

The HANSON Day Lectures are one of the coolest ticketed events held during the HANSON Day weekend. Each of the three lectures is hosted by a different member of HANSON.  Whether it’s learning about the making of one of HANSON’s albums by diving into multi-tracks with Isaac, writing and recording music live on stage with Zac or sharing song stories with Taylor, the HANSON Day lectures are a one of a kind experience not to be missed.  

“We love the way the lectures allow us to shed new light on the way we make music and what drives our creative process.” - Taylor

Take Off Your Digital Pants!
Watch and learn how many of HANSON’s most random and lively songs are created in this one of a kind music making experience, as Zac takes you through the process of recording a song with a little help from the Hanson.net community.

Every week from March 13th to April 24th Hanson.net members will vote to decide the direction the music in the Drop Your Digital Pants lecture will take. Whether the song is fast or slow, about lost love or a lost pet. No matter what answers come out on top, only the members attending the lecture will get to hear the final results first hand.

Go to the HANSON Asks section of Hanson.net every Friday through April 24th to vote on a new question.

Inside This Time Around
Take a look inside HANSON’s second album This Time Around with Isaac.  Listen to the un-mastered multi-tacks, ask question, listen to stories and request to hear your favorite HANSON songs like never before.  You want to hear, an acapella version or a guitars only version, what about the stuff that didn’t make it to the album?  Don’t miss this one of a kind experience, only available to Hanson.net members.

Song Stories
Every Song has a story, and Taylor wants to hear yours. As a part of the HANSON Day lecture events Taylor will host a special conversation with guest Hanson.net members focused on the stories and inspiration behind HANSON songs from the past 23 years. During the lecture, guest members will swap stories about song lyrics, meanings, melodies and more, and Taylor will talk about the inspiration, origin and vision behind the songs members highlight.
