Not many bands make it 30+ years. Fewer still with the same five members. But here we are with Jett Beres, the bassist with Sister Hazel, who will be headlining Bands in the Sand on June 14th.
Jett hopped on the phone with us this afternoon to talk about the upcoming show, and we covered a lot of ground, notably the band's penchant for playing for a good cause like the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. In fact, their name comes from Sister Hazel, a nun who gave her blessing, provided they do good!
But how does a band stay together 30+ years with the same five members? How have they been able to release an album every two years? What are their Hazelnuts looking for when they come to a show? What should we look for on June 14th?
Find out all that and more, and eavesdrop on our conversation. Listen to the dumbest question I have ever asked. And if you are going to be at Bands in the Sand--Jett offers a warning about trying to jump up on the stage!
Have a listen!
