If you missed their recent television performances on Ellen, Good Morning America or the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, experience the second coming of Hanson live at the Rib Cook-Off! The Hanson brothers will spend Memorial Day at TCA as Cleveland marks the first date of the band's summer tour.

The three-part harmonizing Hanson brothers from Tulsa, Oklahoma are not a novelty act -- they are pop trendsetters. In 1997, the Tulsa trio introduced the world to their infectious single "MMMBop" which led to three Grammy nominations. Rolling Stone magazine named their debut album "Middle of Nowhere," which sold an astonishing 8 million copies in the midst of the grunge era, as one of its "Essential Albums of the 90s."

Hanson's sophomore album "This Time Around" earned the band high marks and mucho respecto in critic circles. Since their debut six years ago, the blonde-haired band of brothers has grown up into serious pop rock songwriters. Isaac, 23, Taylor, 20, and Zac, 18, loom over the competition in terms of talent and leave the rest of the teen-pop artists eating their Oklahoma dust!

It's been four long years since Hanson stepped into the pop spotlight. The band's new, self-produced album titled "Underneath" was put on shelves April 20 after a successful acoustic tour -- the Chicago gig sold out in 10 minutes! Their first single, "Penny and Me," receives heavy radio play and captures the essence of your favorite pair of blue jeans.
