Ahh, it seems like just yesterday the Hanson brothers (Isaac, Taylor and Zac) were discovered at SXSW. However, the boys have been busy over the last 10+ years, recording, touring, having kids, and doing philanthropic work with The Walk Tour. Of course, they’re also still really cute.

When I told some friends they did The LP Questionnaire and Pick Three I got beyond excited responses from gals (and guys, too, like Flatiron Management’s Jamie Sampson who saw them play at a US Open Tennis Event in ‘97) aged 24-37, which proves the power of the Hanson is still strong.

We’re pleased as punch that the brothers are headed down for this year’s fest. In addition to their show at Cedar Door on Saturday night, the lads are also performing as part of SXSW Live on Thursday evening at 8 pm. This show is free to the public, space permitting.

And without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, Isaac, Taylor and Zac answer some probing questions from yours truly…
