" As my daughter is 6 months younger than Zac, Hanson's attorney at the time asked if I would be willing to host a party at my home, invited the kids and families from my daughter’s class as well as some A&R people and have Hanson play.

This season we are in our Middle of Nowhere era. This is an era that really catapulted the band out of Tulsa and onto the word wide stage, bringing with it a certain mania and hysteria, which honestly I feel comfortable using those words and I reflect on those words in such a positive way, meaning no judgment.
Someone that was there to witness this, someone who had a front row seat to it all is an incredible man named Ravi Hutheesing.
