  HANSON announces their new Use Your Sole Tour, with HelloGoodbye!

  One-mile barefoot Walks to fight poverty in Africa to continue

  Tulsa OK - Rock band HANSON announced today a tour with Hellogoodbye, kicking off in the trio's hometown of Tulsa, OK on September 30th and winding down in San Diego, CA on November 8th. The tour will also feature Steel Train and Sherwood.

  Currently at work on their 5th Studio album due to be released in 2010, three time Grammy nominated singer-songwriters HANSON have become road veterans over the past ten plus years, garnering praise for their live shows as "the finest straight up rock band in America" -The Village Voice.

  On tour, HANSON will also be unveiling a new EP, which previews new music from the band's upcoming full-length album. The EP, titled "Stand Up, Stand Up", features four special acoustic versions of new HANSON tracks plus one album cut, "Worlds on Fire". Tracks from the EP plus additional new music will be premiered live throughout the fall tour.

  Says Taylor Hanson, "This tour will be a great chance to premier brand new music for our fans each night, and to share the stage with HelloGoodbye, in cities across the country".

  Along with the tour and new EP, Isaac, Taylor and Zac Hanson will continue their one-mile barefoot Walks before each concert as a part of their TAKE THE WALK campaign in continued partnership with TOMS Shoes, who the band has helped to donate thousands of shoes to children in need since 2007. Through their campaign, HANSON has encouraged individuals to take action against poverty and disease by organizing grassroots one-mile walk events in cities around the world. Since 2008 they've already completed 1 lap (24,902 miles) around the globe and are several thousand into their second, raising funds with each mile walked.

  The next lap of their Walk Around The World will continue before each concert at venues and on college campuses, with tour mates HelloGoodbye taking part in the one-mile treks with HANSON and TOMS Shoes.

  HANSON's dedication to this cause was chronicled in TAKE THE WALK, a book and EP released in November 2008, also available on the fall tour.

  The "Stand Up Stand Up" EP will be available on Hanson.net and on tour.
