Mozart? Nope. Beethoven? Sorry. Bach? Not this time.
90s kids. You’re grown adults now. Adulting musically means buying tickets to the symphony. Time to grow up and show your appreciation of the classics like Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, and Hanson.
Wait. What?
Yup… the Mmm Bop’n Hanson brothers are releasing symphonic versions of their hits. (Yes, they had more than one.) Today they also announced a tour where they’ll play these new variations on their songs live. A stop in St. Pete at the Mahaffey Theater will happen on October 26.
They're cool guys. They get goofed on because the song was so enormous back then, but @hansonmusic did a free concert for Children's Hospital in Boston when I worked for a station up there. No big entourage. No attitude. Their set must have been a full hour too. Much respect.
