Zac Hanson Welcomes Son George Abraham Walker

Zac Hanson Welcomes Son George Abraham Walker
COURTESY ZAC HANSON
And baby makes five!
Zac Hanson, 28, and his wife Kate, 29, welcomed a baby boy on Thursday, Oct. 17, his rep confirms to PEOPLE exclusively.
The couple’s son joins big brother John Ira Shepherd, 5, and sisterJunia Rosa Ruth, 2½.
“We are very excited to share the addition of George Abraham Walker Hanson to our growing family,” Zac tells PEOPLE. “Abraham is healthy and we are happily sharing a little down time together as a family.”
Their new arrival, who will go by Abraham, arrived at 8 lbs., 7 oz. (the same birth weight, coincidentally, as his sister) and has surely thrilled his siblings.
As Zac told PEOPLE in May, “It’s fun this time to watch the little ones so excitedly anticipating their new sibling.”
Added the drummer, “We are so happy and thankful to add more life and love to our family!”

Hanson to guest judge on 'Cupcake Wars'

 |  By   |  

Hanson will appear as guest judges on Cupcake Wars on Saturday (October 19).

The American band of brothers are to act as honorary panel members on the Food Network show.

Isaac, Taylor and Zac Hanson will critique four bakers as they "fight to the finish for the chance at having their cupcakes at a concert and after party for the band", according to the channel's website.

Hanson will appear on 'Cupcake Wars' this Saturday


The winner will also go home with a $10,000 cash prize in the episode, initially airing October 19 at 8pm EDT.

America's best will face three elimination challenges until only one decorator remains in front of Candace Nelson (owner of Sprinkles Cupcakes) and Florian Bellanger (chef and co-owner of online macaroon company MadMac).

Justin Willman hosts the show where Hanson will help pick the top sweet treat.

The group recently launched their own brand of pale ale named Mmmhops beer.

They are also carrying out their Anthem world tour as they promote their fresh beverage.

Man From Milwaukee

Zac Hanson chats about return to Milwaukee

Hanson's back. The musical brothers Isaac, Taylor and Zac are celebrating both their 21st year (!) as a band and their sixth studio album, called "Anthem," which is full of their signature catchy hooks backed by a bigger, more aggressive sound. Hanson's Anthem Tour will make a stop at The Pabst Theater this Saturday night, Oct. 11.
As in the past, the band will be doing a one-mile barefoot walk starting outside the venue at 3 p.m. to support the fight against poverty and HIV/AIDS in Africa. The band is donating $1 per person for everyone who does the walk, and fans have the opportunity to donate more if they would like. In addition to touring to support the new album and their activist work, the brothers are also brewing their own beer, called Mmmhops. We caught up with youngest brother Zac to talk about all of these things and more.
OnMilwaukee.com: Your recent documentary, Re Made in America, the Making of Anthemchronicles the creation of your new album, Anthem, but it also captures what happened after you guys had a surprising decision to face after finding yourselves burnt out after a grueling tour schedule, which was: after 20 years as a band, do we call it quits or recommit to the band? Was there any one person or event that started talks about the issue during your time apart to regroup?
Zac Hanson: In the end we sort of set a timeline, saying, "Let's not talk or make music for this amount of time and we'll see how we feel after that." And what happened really was that the desire to make music continued and we were writing songs while we weren't working together, and we came up with ideas for the future so that when we finally came together we were just ready to get back on the road.
OMC: You started doing The Walk again this tour after a couple years off.
ZH: Yeah, we didn't do it in 2011 – the thing about the walks is more the decision not to do them versus the decision to say that we want to see the walks continue, not just as a Hanson-concert thing. We wanted to make sure that was happening. When we talk about the walks I think it's always been something that we really don't feel is about us as a band. There are fans that come see us – obviously there's an unavoidable quality to it where you have people who just come because they want to take a picture or ask you a question about a song, but I think we felt like it was time to start them up again.
Doing the walks is one more thing in each day, but we love doing them. I think part of the decision not to do the walks in 2011 was really about the fact that that particular tour, the Musical Ride Tour, was one where we were allowing people to vote on songs and which album we would be playing each night, so that took more time each day to rehearse to make sure the music was right.
OMC: That actually ties into my next question. You guys have been together now for a staggering 21 years as a band. Let's look back for a moment to my personal favorite Hanson album, which is your second one, This Time Around. During the Musical Ride Tour, that album was consistently voted as the one to hear when it was among the choices for a show. Did the popularity of it surprise you?
ZH: Our fans surprise me a lot, so I'm used to my expectations being high for them and not knowing what you're going to see from people. It was something that you couldn't know - I mean there's certain records where you know there are moments that are more anticipated. I think I was a little surprised, just because you never know which record is going to be the most popular. It makes sense to me, though. When that first record "Middle of Nowhere" came out, it was such a big record, such a big pop culture moment – people knew about it whether they wanted to or not.
But when it comes time for record number two, you know, 'the sequel,' fans are making more of a conscious choice to follow this band. And that record…the messages behind it are about believing and fighting for things that you care about and I think fans probably identified with that maybe towards our band. You know, "I'm going to go to 12 concerts because I love this band," or stuff like that. But it's cool to see each record and be able to play it as its own little piece of our band's history.
OMC: Jumping back to the present now, this summer I was at two concerts by artists who used your music to pump the crowd up before their shows. First, Taylor Swift broadcast the video of your cover of "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" on the screens between sets of her Red Tour, and Parachute cranks your single "Get The Girl Back" before they take the stage. How does it feel to have other artists use your music to get crowds going like that?
ZH: It feels awesome. Music's supposed to connect with people and when you are making connections with other artists, that's just another level in a sense that they're looking for the same kind of inspirations that you are to make that next step for them in their careers. There's just such a kinship that you feel honored when people choose to highlight you. It feels great.
OMC: We've gotta talk Mmmhops for a second. You have your own beer!
ZH: Yes!
OMC: Any update on whether or not Mmmhops will be available to the masses by Christmas?
ZH: It is just days away from being available in Oklahoma and it's going to start out in that region of the country: Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas. Those states will be the first ones to have it, and we're working on growing it outside of that. We're hoping to be in as many as 10 states by the end of the year and we're also looking at mail-order, trying to make it available in states that allow that. For us, it has to be real.
This isn't a kitschy thing that we're doing today and planning to do whatever tomorrow. It's a real business and company and we want people to really love the beer, so you have to do it responsibly. You can't grow so fast that you kind of kill yourself in the process. But yeah, people should be able to start getting it within days in that part of the country and then we'll grow, grow and grow, hopefully. We're hoping people get the beer, and taste the beer and like it just as much as they have anticipated it and then the rest is history.
OMC: In 2010, you played a string of shows in New York City called '5 of 5,' where you played a different album each night Monday through Friday, and it resulted in a subsequent "5 of 5" DVD set. Can we look forward to a '7 of 7' after your next album?
ZH: There's always potential – I can't see us not doing more of that kind of stuff: things like the Musical Ride Tour, '5 of 5,' etc. There's a new DVD coming out called Anthem Live in New York that really features the new album and I kind of think of it as the 6 in the '5 of 5.' We'll see – maybe we'll come up with a more innovative title, or maybe we'll stick with a numbers system.

Hanson stays true to itself with ‘Anthem’ CD release

Updated: October 11, 2013 2:26PM
 

Pop-rock trio Hanson never left the music scene entirely, while it might have felt that way for casual listeners whose love for the band went only as far as singing along with their ’90s breakthrough hit “MMMBop.” In fact, Isaac, Taylor and Zac Hanson remain a worldwide favorite who continue to sell albums and sell out concerts.
Taylor Hanson recently spoke to the Sun-Times about the band’s staying power, the power of social media and the new crop of boy bands.
Question: So I wake up today and Hanson is in the headlines again thanks to a viral video in which Zac was spit on after a recent show. What happened?
Taylor Hanson: We were actually walking in from the venue onto the bus and this man decided to walk into the middle of the lounge of the bus. If anyone has ever interacted with someone who is homeless or slightly unbalanced, you know that communicating verbally with them doesn’t always do the job. We respectfully asked him to leave, but he had no intention of leaving. Saying anything else is only going to inflame the situation more, but the one thing I will say is that this was not a fan. Just another day on this travelling circus, I suppose.
Q.Long before viral videos, many have said that Hanson was one of the first true Internet-driven bands. What’s it like promoting yourself these days?
TH: We had the great fortune of succeeding really young and always have felt that it was important to connect to the audience, but always keep music at the center of it all. What has changed is how you connect to your audience these days has fragmented into a thousand different jobs compared to just having a website back in the ’90s. It’s not just about succeeding in radio and TV and the charts anymore.
Q.What’s your advice to new artists coming up regarding social media as a whole? These days, must you share everything in order to succeed?
TH: The biggest danger out there right now is that, to some degree, there is a bit of mystique that is lost between artists and fans these days. Sure, it may be cool to see what Bono is having for breakfast, but I have always thought there needs to still be a degree of mystery and distance between the artists you admire. I don’t think everyone wants to understand every facet of an artist’s world, you know? We have always tried to balance that. We have always wanted to be relatable and connectable with our fans, but there is a point where you say ‘I’m not going to Tweet that.’ If we do share something, we always try to connect it back to what we do as artists.
Q.Your new album “Anthem” has received a ton of critical acclaim. What did you set out to accomplish with this one?
TH: It was all about creating more size and intensity of the instruments, and in turn, creating more songs that were perfect for the stage. We have always been about making live shows count and making each show interesting and different. Getting to play two nights in Chicago allows us to change things up from night to night, and go back and forth between our entire catalog of music.

My Memories of the Vancouver MOE

We were 3rd row center(ish) for the MOE, there were about 75 of us (give or take). When we first got into the venue, David Ryan Harris was finishing his sound check, so we got to watch that for a few minutes before the guys came out.
First off, I just have to say (and I’ve wanted to say this since Portland) that anyone calling Taylor fat or complaining about him cutting his hair is crazy, IMO. He has looked GORGEOUS at all the Pacific North West shows, his hair isn’t too short, it looks great. Yes, it’s beautiful a little longer, but it’s not the end of the damn world that he had a freaking trim.
If this is your idea of fat, or a bad haircut, then I guess we have very different ideas about what those things look like!
They played “On and On” first, which was beautiful, and at the very end Taylor suggested they do the campfire version, so they all stepped to the edge of the stage, crouched down in front of us and sang the last few lines of the song to us without mics. <3 After they were done, Taylor mentioned how the “can’t quit you” line at the end of the song seemed very Brokeback Mountain. That led to him clarifying that he “likes the ladies”, while Zac said something about dudes alone on a mountain with some sheep…
The next song was “No Sleep For Banditos”. Zac said that people tell him he sings the song with a Mexican accent… and then he proceeded to sing a few lines of it with a very deliberate Mexican accent. I think Taylor said something to him about it, I don’t remember what. I just know they were teasing each other, because when the song started, Zac turned to Tay (who was on drums) and was like “you were supposed to play the snare”, and Tay hit the snare. And then a second later Tay was like “that felt good!” and he hit it again really hard. My memory is a little fuzzy about exactly what happened next, but I think Zac was taking forever to start playing the guitar or something, or he was playing the intro repeatedly and Taylor was waiting for his cue to start playing drums. And when Zac turned around to look at him, Tay gave him this playful “anytime you’re ready, dude” look and nod, which cracked everyone up. Throughout the song, I noticed Zac kind of glance very briefly over his shoulder at Tay, or kind of smile and nod approvingly to himself over Tay’s drumming. It was cute.
Next they played “Best of Times”, and Ike messed up the very beginning of the first verse and started laughing. After the song he said that, in songs where he sings lead, the second verse always changes a little. He said he was so focused on getting the second verse right this time that it made him mess up the first verse instead.
They played “Get Out Of My Heart” after that, which was a VERY nice surprise. Tay sounded UH-mazing.
After that they played “Sound Of Light”, and they rocked it so hard that Ike broke a guitar string and Zac broke a drumstick. Then they offered the string and the broken drumstick to random fans after the song.
For the last song, they asked us if there was anything we wanted to here. A few people immediately yelled “Cried”, and the guys were like “why is it always ‘Cried’?!” Then someone said “Ever Lonely”, and they debated for a moment if they even remembered how to play that. Someone yelled “Down”, and they said they’d never performed that one together live and wouldn’t know where to start. They ended up playing the chorus of “Cried” and then playing all of “Ever Lonely” for us, and both were awesome.
Once the performance part of the MOE was done, they did a Q&A. Tay came back to the front of the stage and crouched down in front of us and said he was being creepy. Then Ike and Zac came over and sat down. Zac said he was going to sit “criss-cross applesauce”, and Tay was like “why can’t you just say Indian style?” and Zac said it wasn’t “P.C.” Then he said something about scalping, and Tay just dropped his head into his hands. He and Ike told Tay he should sit down rather than squatting, but Tay said he preferred to squat because it made him feel “more in control”…
I don’t remember EVERY question/answer we heard. But I know someone asked Ike if he’d ever considered doing a blues album or more blues songs, and he said yes. Tay said Ike thinks about doing that kind of thing all the time, but then he can’t be bothered to practice and so it never actually happens, and Ike agreed that his lack of drive to work on it is the reason it hasn’t happened. But he did say “You Can’t Stop Us” started out MUCH more bluesy. Then he got up and got a guitar and started playing the slower, bluesy version for us, and Zac got up and started singing/making noises along with him. Then Zac started doing his stripper dance and hiking his t-shirt up a little so we saw his tummy for a second. Tay watched them, and afterwards he said that he had a whole new perspective on what it’s like to be in our position (in the audience while they’re up on stage).
"That’s a whole lot of crotch."
They were asked if they ever disagree over who sings lead, but they said it’s usually pretty obvious. They said Zac had a hard time letting go of singing all of “You Can’t Stop Us”, because he loved every verse, but the song was more powerful with each other them taking the lead on a verse because it was “You Can’t Stop US”. They also said that Ike originally sang a verse on “Thinking ‘Bout Somethin’”, but again it didn’t work with the message of the song, because it was from one person’s perspective. They said that when they took out Tay’s vocal track, the sound of the drums totally changed and it wasn’t as good (at least, I think it was TBS they were talking about. Not 100% on that one).
Someone asked if they would tour Australia soon, and they said hopefully next year. Because of the exchange rate between the USA and Australia, they can’t afford to tour there right now, they wouldn’t get paid enough. They were like “You’re gonna pay us HOW much? Who’s gonna have to stay behind?” lol Then I think Zac said “Ike”, and Ike totally cracked up and said that was fine by him.
They were asked if they were still doing Fools Banquet, and they said they hadn’t for a few years because of touring and putting the new studio together, but they are trying to organize something for next year. They said they are into the idea of trying to put together a project with other artists that they will actually release in some form. They love the idea of doing a cover album where they record with the artists whose songs they are covering.
I think Zac said something at this point that was unintentionally insulting to transgender people. I can’t remember what was being said, but he was joking around about something and mentioned the fact that transgender people can use whichever bathroom they prefer in California. It was one of those word vomit moments where he wasn’t putting a lot of thought into what he was saying. Tay once again just shook his head in amazement and then pretty much face-palmed, then he turned to us and was like “Is there anyone else, any group that he hasn’t offended yet? Any race, sex, religion?” Zac joked that he was just trying to get on TMZ again.
On the subject of beer, they said that hopefully next month you should be able to mail order MMMHops if you live in a state that allows you to have beer mailed to you. They’re working on other options, but because of stupid laws in every state, they are having trouble with it. They compared it to the music industry. They said imagine if music had been outlawed at one time, and now there are a bunch of laws left over from that period.
Someone asked them what they would be if they weren’t musicians. Tay said Zac would have gone into the military, and Zac agreed. Then Tay said he wouldn’t have gone any higher than Drill Sergeant, though, and Zac agreed again. He said he just wants to yell at people and tell them what to do, and that his tour pass says “Serg” on it instead of his name. Someone in the audience said he’d have to cut his hair to be in the military, and he was like “not in special forces”. He said he’d just sit around with his buddies playing video games and getting a tan, and then sometimes he’s snap people’s necks. Tay also said that Zac would have been an incredible artist as well as a Drill Sergeant.
Ike said he would have been a motivational speaker, and Tay agreed and said that he would get up every morning and look in the mirror and start with himself. Then he (or maybe it was Zac, I forget) said that Ike would actually have been a therapist, because he loves to sit and listen to people talk and analyze their problems. Tay said that creativity was in the blood and he loves to cook and take photos, so maybe he would have done something in those fields.
Once they were done with questions, they did group pictures. Each group had about 8 fans in it, and we all got to go over and say hi to them, shake hands (and ask for a hug if you had the guts, which I didn’t), and then we got pictures taken. They let us stay in the venue after the MOE, so we were 2nd/3rd row for the show, which was AMAZING. Best of the 3 I was lucky enough to see this week!
I don’t have the time (or brain power) to go into the shows right now, I’m running on very little sleep and I have to get to work. But I wanted to write the MOE memories down before they started to fade. <3

BREAKING NEWS

Zac Hanson -- the drummer from Hanson -- was the victim in a disgusting spit attack on his tour bus in Seattle last night ... and the gross moment was all caught on video.

Here's what we know -- the spitter somehow got onto Hanson's tour bus ... and as Zac was trying to boot him from the bus, the guy unleashed a big nasty loogie that hits Zac right in the head.

You can see the spit dripping off Zac's hair ... it's really disgusting ... but Zac simply brushed off the incident, and smiled as if it was no big deal.

As for the douche bag ... he simply turns and walks away while cursing out some of the people surrounding the bus.

After the incident, Zac tweeted ... "Gonna be a good show tonight, I cleaned off all the spit and I am feeling ready to go! -Z"
