This time it was to meet with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/programmes\/b09twf7r\">Jo Whiley,<\/a> music presenter with BBC Radio 2. Listen to the interview with Hanson at just an hour in to the piece. Hanson spoke about how the SXSW experience is an opportunity to find music outside of the official showcases. Hanson&#8217;s own story demonstrates the lucky moments of being outside the SXSW schedule and they spoke passionately about being there\u00a0to support the idea of inspiring young people to play music. They spoke with affection for the little gigs, the unknowns, the next group of buskers who would find a spot on the streets of Austin to show their talents and start a journey. As Jo Whiley asked how young musicians could embrace the opportunities of SXSW, Taylor Hanson reminded listeners of the heart of his band, &#8220;internalise what you are fighting for, know yourself&#8221;.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BgWcxL1jQlj\/?hl=en&amp;taken-by=jowhiley\">Hanson with Jo Whiley<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"6773\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.mmmboptastic.com\/site\/2018\/03\/18\/sxsw-2018-with-hanson-but-they-werent-really-there\/screen-shot-2018-03-18-at-13-46-19\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mmmboptastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Screen-Shot-2018-03-18-at-13.46.19.png?fit=1877%2C1217&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1877,1217\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Screen Shot 2018-03-18 at 13.46.19\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mmmboptastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Screen-Shot-2018-03-18-at-13.46.19.png?fit=750%2C486&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-6773 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mmmboptastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Screen-Shot-2018-03-18-at-13.46.19.png?resize=750%2C486&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mmmboptastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Screen-Shot-2018-03-18-at-13.46.19.png?resize=1024%2C664&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mmmboptastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Screen-Shot-2018-03-18-at-13.46.19.png?resize=300%2C195&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mmmboptastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Screen-Shot-2018-03-18-at-13.46.19.png?resize=768%2C498&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mmmboptastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Screen-Shot-2018-03-18-at-13.46.19.png?w=1877&amp;ssl=1 1877w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mmmboptastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Screen-Shot-2018-03-18-at-13.46.19.png?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><br \/>\nThis piece from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/articles\/news\/festivals\/8248135\/sxsw-hanson-hint-next-big-project\">Billboard\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0 <strong>SXSW: Han<\/strong><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\"><strong>son Deliver the Hits, Hint at &#8216;Next Big Project&#8217;<\/strong>, includes interview with Hanson where they spill at least a few beans about what is up next for them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Taylor Hanson &#8212; who turned 35 on Wednesday &#8212; teased that at the beginning of the show, telling the Fansons in front of him\u00a0that the group was \u201cquietly plotting the rest of our year.\u201d That will include a tour Hanson plans to announce in April, as well as the group\u2019s \u201cnext big project\u201d that the brothers were being circumspect about on Thursday.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s very musical,\u201d Taylor said. And though Zac said the group is \u201cin the studio right now recording new music,\u201d Taylor added that \u201cwe don\u2019t really think about our music under the terms of, like, records anymore. Some of it\u2019s a product of 2018 and some of it is a product of being a band that tries to think about the bigger picture, the idea of long-term, of songs living past your lifetime.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The song that made Hanson famous, MMMBop, talks of planting and growing things. It seems that however it is presented, that is still the passion of this band.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Hanson\u2019s 2018 may also include more partnerships with the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus and, according to Taylor, \u201cmaking our project an opportunity to talk about the importance of supporting music in every school and in every community.\u00a0The whole idea of creativity is so important to American culture, so important to\u00a0our future.\u201d\u00a0 And, Zac, added, \u201cit\u2019s really about our love of seeing music education grow for kids. We all have kids. We started as kids. One of the first things we did as a band was playing in schools. So if we can help that keep going and grow, we want to.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Creating, planting, growing, supporting, making connections and loving the story that evolves, is the Hanson way.
