Go Away With … Taylor Hanson

It has been a decade since Hanson burst onto the music charts with their ubiquitous hit single “MMMBop.” Today, the boys are all young men in their 20s with families of their own. The trio of brothers – lead guitarist Isaac, drummer Zac and keyboardist-vocalist Taylor – is still making beautiful music together and touring to promote their latest album “The Walk.” As it turns out, “The Walk” provided inspiration for the Oklahomans to return to South Africa (where they had recorded some of their album) over the Thanksgiving holiday to donate 50,000 pairs of shoes.

Hanson: How in the heck?

“It’s OK if people make fun of us because we’re young or whatever,” says 15-year-old Taylor, the keyboardist and lead vocalist.  “Howard Stern makes fun of our music, but it’s cool because he makes fun of everyone. We enjoy making music and performing together, but we have a sense of humor about all of it, too. You can’t take it all too seriously.”
