    As a Hanson fan that actually lives in Tulsa (their hometown)...I can say these guys are so talented and such a positive influence on the music scene in Tulsa. Tulsa's music scene would not be as progressed as it is without them, whether local bands know it or not. They have invested in not only the world, but in Tulsa, and I am so thankful for that.

      I just saw them in Tahoe this past weekend. I've loved them since their 1st album. I've never gone to a concert because, honestly, no one that I've seen so far has lived up to what I expect (they suck live). Hanson, though... what you hear on their albums, and in this video, are exactly what you can expect.

    I was a fan when they were kids and i was 11. What a good feeling to hear them again and notice they didn't change, except their music grew up too, keeping the same happy/simple/joyful nature. I became a musician because they were my model. It really makes me something listening to them again, and almost because i didn't expected to find this video this morning, i was just looking for something jazzy to wake up ... I remember now why i'm what i am. Because i was that teenager who listened to Hanson Brothers :)

      Yes, Hanson is so amazing for 25 years! 😉 What do you mean that you liked their version of 'This Time Around' than the original? They are the original singers & composers of that song! 😄

    Thinkin' Bout Somethin' is one of my favorite of their songs, Taylor at his best! We don't get a lot of opportunities to see him do a piano solo.

    I was taken here directly after the Perceptionists... the beauty of these tiny desk concerts is, that you can just let the videos flow and there's never a disappointment.
