Pop-rockers Hanson, whose tour was temporarily sidelined earlier this month when one of the brother trio's members had to undergo emergency surgery, are back on the road and continue booking new shows.

After wrapping up its current tour leg next week in Las Vegas, the group will take a short break before returning to the road at the end of November for a half-dozen new stops in the Midwest and Canada. Details are listed below.

On Oct. 3, elder band member Isaac Hanson (guitar/vocals) was admitted to Baylor University Medical Center after complaining of chest and shoulder pain following the band's Dallas show the previous night. He subsequently was found to be suffering from venous thoracic outlet syndrome--also known as Paget-Schroeder Syndrome--and had to undergo surgery to correct the problem.

Hanson is supporting its fourth studio set, "The Walk," which surfaced in July. In keeping with the album's title, the band is hosting a one-mile walk in each market along the tour to bring attention to poverty and AIDS in Africa. The location of each day's walk is announced on Hanson's website three hours in advance.

The group has also teamed with TOMS Shoes, which, for every pair of shoes sold, will donate a pair to a child in need. TOMS Shoes will be sold at each tour stop and at the company's website. The goal is to deliver 50,000 pairs at the African shoe drop.

Released on Hanson's own 3CG label, "The Walk" was inspired in part by the brothers' trip to South Africa and Mozambique, where they recruited children from a local orphanage to form a choir. The album hit No. 4 on Billboard's Top Independent Albums chart.

The new set follows 2004's "Underneath," which reached No. 1 on the Independent Albums chart and No. 25 on The Billboard 200, making it one of the most successful self-released albums in history, according to Hanson's bio.

The Grammy-nominated Hanson brothers--Taylor, guitarist Isaac and drummer Zac--shot to fame as youngsters 10 years ago with their smash, teeny-bopper hit "MmmBop."
