Hailing from Tulsa, Oklahoma, they spent a few years singing at fairs, festivals and the popular new venue for mini-concerts – shopping malls. Finally it was one of these shopping mall gigs that took them to the top of that rollercoaster. In late spring of 1997, The three performed at the Paramus Park Mall in Paramus, New Jersey. They had been signed by Mercury Records and Hanson’s record MMMBop was a hit, climbing higher in the charts every day. They had a following of thousands of squealing and screaming fans. (For the older generations – remember Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Duran Duran? Okay, you’ve got the picture).

Soon articles about Hanson were popping up in the popular magazines, “People”, “Rolling Stone”, “US”, and every teen magazine known to mankind, even those in foreign countries. Hanson has had TV guest appearances on the “Today Show”, “Live With Regis and Kathie Lee” and “Saturday Night Live”.

Irresistible – “MMMBop” is contagious, it’s something that stays with you long after the song has ended. They are contagious – you see them and hear them and you want more. Young girls, mothers, grandmothers – all have found these young men irresistible.
